VILLAGE OF CHAGRIN FALLS ARCHITECTURAL BOARD OF REVIEW NOVEMBER 15, 2022 Meeting Called to Order 8:30 A.M. Members Present: Bill Childs, George Clemens, Steve King, Phil Koepf, Wendy Naylor Also Present: Dominic Cribari, Joan Andersen APPROVAL OF MINUTES Motion by Naylor, seconded by King to approve the minutes from the November 1, 2022 meeting. Roll Call: Childs-yea, King-yea, Naylor-yea. Motion passed. 1. Carr 83 Maple Street Exterior Alterations-Windows King read the Historical Significance Report which states that the 83 Maple Street house does meet the standards of a Historically Significant Property as defined in Codified Ordinance Section 1146.03 (C) (2): the structure is presumed to be Historically Significant Property because it is more than 100 years old. The structure also contributes to the Chagrin Falls West Side National Register Historic District, Ref. No 74001433. The proposed exterior alterations #1-3 listed under “The Issue” change the appearance of 83 Maple Street and do not follow the Codified Ordinance Section 1146.04 (d) (1-3) guidelines for “preservation of features,” “replacement of features,” and “compatibility:” and in that regard has an adverse effect on the design and historical significance of the adjacent, contiguous and neighboring historic buildings. Motion by King, seconded by Naylor to receive the HSR report. Roll Call: King-yea, Naylor-yea, Childs-yea. George Clemens (Architect) said that they are doing a kitchen renovation and adding an elliptical window in the powder room at the rear of the house. He said they are replacing the windows that don’t match the existing windows in the house. He said they are using wood aluminum clad windows. Childs said they liked what he did and Naylor agreed. Summation-motion by Naylor, seconded by King to approve the plans for aluminum clad windows as presented. Roll Call: King-yea, Childs-yea, Naylor-yea. Motion passed. 2. Gallucci 3 West Summit Exterior-Details Blane McKelvey (Payne & Tompkins) said based on the recommendation of the Board he brought samples of the stone that they will be using. The Board said they liked the tone, color and linear appearance that they were looking for with the larger scale stone. The Board asked that the applicant make sure that they match the existing foundation mortar to emulate what already exists on the home. Summation-motion by Naylor, seconded by Childs to approve the mock up as presented with mortar to be a deep rake in a color to blend with the stone: stone to be closely set for a stacked appearance subject to a final site mockup on the foundation wall and approval of mortar. Roll Call: King-yea, Childs- yea, Naylor-yea. Motion passed. 3. Manorbrook Homes 230 Falls Walk Way New Dwelling-Final Rick Siegfried (Architect) said that this home was previously approved by the Board. He said the original owner decided not to buy it. He said the new owner wants a white washed brick veneer and that the porch goes the full width of the house. Summation-motion by Naylor, seconded by Childs to approve plans as presented. Roll Call: Childs-yea, King-yea, Naylor-yea. Motion passed. 4. RSR Chagrin 219 South Main Street New Dwelling-Preliminary Robert Vitt (Developer) said that there is 3 ½’ fall between all the houses in the subdivision. He said much of the retention and the 3 ½’ between lots is the north wall foundation of each house which is exposed 3 ¼-4 feet and he said that the house becomes retaining wall changing grades. He said the retaining walls will be rock and the rear will fall about 6” to 30” at the wall. He said it’s graded as much as they could to prevent water running down from the trail. He said the turnouts are so the homeowners can back out of their drives and that the driveways are 10-11 percent grade. He said they are putting a French drain between each house. Childs suggested changing the window in the basement to a larger window and he said he liked that he did the tweaks that they had suggested. Naylor said that the right-side windows don’t relate and inquired about how the right-side entry will be designed with steps or banister. Robert said that the bump out is for a cabinet in the kitchen. Koepf inquired about setback and zoning compliance for right side elevation entry if a porch is added. The Board said the bump out should be eliminated by putting the cabinet on the inside of the house. Summation-motion by Naylor, seconded by King for preliminary approval of plans as presented subject to zoning compliance to include the right elevation entry area. Needs to consider making the right-side lower window taller, elimination of the projecting cabinet and rework of the right-side door area. Roll Call: Childs-yea, King-yea, Naylor-yea. Motion passed.
