Sketch Plan-4600 Browndale Ave
Chuck Levin presented the sketch plan project at 4600 Browndale Ave. The plan had a side loading garage, an addition off of the rear of the existing home, two second story balconies
off of
the front facing façade, a small addition off of the front façade, and a change in the driveway placement on the site. The Commission provided non-binding comments to the designer. Generally,
the Commission had concerns about the decks on the second story on the front facing façade and the car park area in the front yard. They felt that it was modern and intrusive.

with the applications and information and post an example of the notice on the website for people to view. The Commission complimented staff on the execution of updating the COA applications
and process.

Staff shared the list of COAs by street and year with the Commission based on conversations that took place at the December meeting. The Commission asked if the list could be made into
an excel spreadsheet.

etc. Jane Lonnquist volunteered to be the lead Commissioner for the Heritage Award.
