922 AUDUBON DRIVE – ARCHITECTURAL REVIEW – EXTERIOR ALTERATION/RENOVATION
Director Susan M. Istenes summarizes the following staff report: “The 8,800-square-foot site is located on the east side of Audubon Drive and has a zoning designation of R-2 Single-Family Dwelling District. The property currently contains an attached garage and open porch that will be converted to usable space. The applicant was recently approved to build a new detached garage. On the northern half, which includes the front, side, and rear of the single-family residence, the applicant intends to convert the attached garage and open porch into an enclosed media room.
Currently, the single-family residence has an attached garage and the front of the home has an open porch that has an overhang with brick pillars. With this project, the applicant proposes to match the building materials of the existing single-family residence. The new enclosed space will require new brick, a below grade concrete footing, as well as the replacement and addition of windows. The applicant is also proposing to paint the wood trim and add a glass door on the north side of the structure. The existing garage door will be removed and replaced with a new brick wall.
The project as proposed is in conformance with the requirements of the R-2 Single Family Dwelling District and the Architectural Review Guidelines. Staff is of the opinion that the design and materials of the enclosed media room are compatible with the home.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION IS TO APPROVE AS SUBMITTED.”

7651 CLAYTON ROAD – ARCHITECTURAL REVIEW – SIGNAGE
Director Susan M. Istenes summarizes the following staff report: “The subject property is located at the north east corner of the intersection of Clayton Road and Hanley Road. The property is zoned PUD and is currently under development with a mixed-use commercial and residential project. The property is surrounded by a 6-foot-high wooden dog-eared picket temporary construction fence. The fence includes several gates providing three separate entrances to the construction site. Construction signage has been placed on the fence totaling approximately 100 square feet, which is the maximum allowable signage for properties with more than 100 feet of street frontage.
In addition to the construction related signage currently present on the construction fence, the applicant would like to place a 50-foot x 100-foot temporary banner sign which wraps the corner of Hanley Road and Clayton Road, for purposes of advertising the residential dwelling units for sale. The applicant indicates the signage will remain in place until May 2022, when the project is scheduled to be completed. The sign will be made of vinyl and the colors have not yet been determined.
The following sign is permitted by the Sign Code:
Newly constructed residential buildings or developments with four (4) or more dwelling units may be permitted a sign not to exceed twelve (12) square feet for a period of six (6) months after the issuance of the first (1st) tenancy permit or until all units are occupied, whichever comes first. Signs in excess of six (6) square feet shall be aesthetically designed and approved by the Architectural Review Board.
Due to the proposed signage being in excess of the maximum allowable size and because the sign will be erected before the building is completed, the applicant is requesting a sign modification.
While the proposed sign is larger than allowed by the Sign Code, the sign is temporary. Because the site is under construction, the appearance of the sign will be mitigated by the appearance of the construction site, construction equipment, and the appearance of the building as it is constructed.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION IS TO APPROVE THE TEMPORARY SIGN AS SUBMITTED WITH THE FOLLOWING CONDITIONS:
WHICHEVER OCCURS FIRST.
