Berry Hill addition appeal

Co-appellant Meyer argued the application was mishandled, said a nine-page letter the couple sent in September 2024 was effectively lost for nine months, and contended the deck and windows invade privacy into two bedrooms and a private courtyard.

Appellant Parsons said the project violates the city's roof deck and privacy code, argued clerestory windows still allow views into bedrooms and the courtyard, and said the 263-square-foot deck is nearly three times larger than any other deck in the neighborhood.

The applicant described 16 years in the home, an August 2024 neighborhood open house, and extensive revisions made in response to the neighbors' objections, including removing the west-facing balcony and raising window sills to over five feet.

Co-applicant Carol Francis appeared with her husband in support of the project but did not deliver a separate statement.
