Section 1: ARnrovals
The Substantial Amendment and Setback Variations are approved as represented in the application
reviewed by HPC on April 12, 2023. Conditions of approval are:
1. Staff and monitor will review and approve the final driveway design, aiming to represent two
parking spaces on-sitc. Only one must be truly usable to meet parking requirements.
2. Staff and monitor will review and approve the final landscape plan as it pertains to the
foreground of the historic resource to balance privacy concerns with an appropriate level of
simplicity, and to limit blocking public views of the Chalet or detracting from the blue spruce
tree.
3. Staff will continue to work with the architect to ensure a clear depiction of the maintenance
edge that must surround the resource is included in the landscape plan. Some structural
details will also continue to be resolved to ensure that no historic exterior materials are
impacted without HPC approval.
