The existing porch steps on the north elevation are also being replaced. Although landscape review and approval is not required for this project, the applicant plans to remove an existing 5½ caliper inch Japanese Maple and replace it with three trees including one 2 caliper inch Black Gum, a 2 caliper inch Bald Cypress and a 2 caliper inch Butterfly Magnolia that will be planted once all construction is completed. The project as proposed is in conformance with the requirements of the R-1 Large Lot Single Family Dwelling District and the Architectural Review Guidelines. Staff is of the opinion that the proposed design and materials are compatible with the existing home and other homes in the neighborhood and staff recommends approval as submitted. Joanne Boulton asked if the pergola is the same on each application.

5 Ms. Bower replied “yes”. She stated that she had a PowerPoint presentation. Chairman Lichtenfeld reiterated that each proposal will be voted on. Ms. Bower stated that Washington University owns the property. She added that although the Trustees have no power over the property, she did meet with them about this project and they gave approval. She stated that the property to the east is the Whittemore House and the property on the other side is another house owned by the University. She stated that the porch (east) is original to the house and that this proposal includes screening in that porch and adding a sun porch above it. She noted that the pergola will attach to the family room addition and will provide some shade. She noted that the project also includes updates to the west porch with the addition of new period-correct windows. A slide showing a rendering of the east elevation was presented depicting the first floor screened porch and second floor sunroom. Slides depicting all other elevations were also shown. Ms. Bower noted that they will be removing one Maple tree for this project, but that it will be replaced with three smaller trees. Joanne Boulton asked if there is already a door on the west elevation. Ms. Bower indicated that there is; they are making it more functional. Chairman Lichtenfeld asked if the painted wood on the east is white. Ms. Bower replied “yes”; to match the existing white trim. Joanne Boulton commented that the third house to the east is similar. Ms. Bower agreed.

Director Istenes gave a synopsis of the second application, noting the difference is that this option encloses the east porch with screens. Ms. Bower stated that in consideration of budget, this is the scaled-down option whereby the east porch will be upgraded and there will not be a second story addition. Chairman Lichtenfeld asked staff if the Board approves this option as well, the choice will be the applicant’s which to implement. Director Istenes confirmed. Ron Reim stated he prefers the first option, but he understands why this one is also being requested. He asked about the roof. Ms. Bower indicated it is a standing seam roof. Hearing no further questions or comments, Ron Reim made a motion to approve as submitted. The motion was seconded by Scott Wilson and unanimously approved by the members. ARCHITECTURAL REVIEW – PARKING LOT – 210 SOUTH HANLEY ROAD

Nick Joggerst representing Scott Properties, owner, was in attendance at the meeting. Susan Istenes explained that the 16,566-square-foot site (northeast corner of Hanley Road and Forest Park Parkway) is currently vacant and has a zoning designation of HDC High Density Commercial, and is located in the Clayton Plaza Overlay District. The applicant proposes a 27- space asphalt parking lot and new landscaping. The parking lot will be accessible from the existing parking structure serving the building at 200 South Hanley Road.

The applicant proposes a 27- space asphalt parking lot and new landscaping. The parking lot will be accessible from the existing parking structure serving the building at 200 South Hanley Road. Staff is of the opinion that the project generally complies with the vision of the Downtown Master Plan by providing new sidewalks, street trees and street lights; extensive landscaping; and reutilization of a long-vacant, and a highly-visible site. The landscape design will provide an interesting layered and colorful landscape of perennials, ornamental grasses, shrubs and trees that will rise with the topography and buffer the parking lot from public view. The City’s contracted landscape architect has reviewed the landscape plan and asked for some clarification regarding the landscaping. Director Istenes noted that staff is of the opinion that the circulation system will provide for the convenient and safe movement of vehicles and pedestrians. She noted that the parking lot is located +/- 28 feet from the edge of the proposed sidewalk and extends to rear of the lot. The location of the parking lot is constrained by the irregular shape of the lot and the access point from the existing parking structure. She concluded by stating that staff recommends approval as submitted.
