The Architectural Review Board on June 12 approved architectural elevations and materials for a new single‑family dwelling proposed at Lot 2 of the two‑lot subdivision for 2418 Eddington Road in Wildwood Town Center. The board’s approval followed a second review in which the applicant presented corrected plans and materials that staff said now comply with the city’s zoning regulations.

The project is a new single‑family home to be built on a parcel of roughly one‑third acre and is zoned R‑3 (10,000‑square‑foot residence district) and designated Neighborhood General in the Town Center Regulating Plan, planning staff said. The applicant told the board the exterior will use wood‑composite board‑and‑batten siding and carriage‑style garage doors; those material choices were a revision requested at the prior review.

Board members and staff emphasized that the meeting was a formal action on architectural elevations and that additional permits and inspections will be required before construction can proceed. A resident who identified themselves as living across the street raised concerns about the pace of onsite work and the visible site activity, saying, “This is gonna take 3 years to build a house at the rate that it's going,” and asking when construction would be completed. The applicant or applicant representative responded that the construction window is expected to be about “9 to 12 months” starting from the approval of the elevations.

The board’s approval was taken as a single formal action on the agenda item. Staff noted that the plans had been revised to address comments from the prior meeting and presented elevation views for north, south, east and west facades. The applicant presented material samples and described site grading and basement excavation that are currently under way.

The board approved the architectural elevations and related materials; no new conditions were recorded in the board’s discussion summary provided at the meeting. Planning staff will proceed with issuing any follow‑up memorandum and will process subsequent building permit applications and inspections in accordance with city codes.

Construction timing provided at the meeting indicated the applicant anticipates roughly nine to 12 months to complete the house once permit and construction activities proceed from the approved elevations. Neighbors’ questions about interim site cleanup, erosion control and construction scheduling were discussed during public comment and in questions to the applicant; staff reiterated that those topics are addressed through permit conditions and inspections rather than through the architectural elevations approval.
