Title
Irwin Residence Coastal Development Permit (PA2023-0123)
Site Location: 7 Beacon Bay
Recommendation
Project Summary
A coastal development permit to allow the demolition of an existing single-unit dwelling and the construction of a new, three-story, 3,978-square-foot, 29-foot-tall single-unit residence including a 617-square-foot, three-car garage. The request also includes a coastal variance to Title 21 (Local Coastal Program Implementation Plan) of the NBMC to allow an encroachment into the front setback. The encroachment consists of a patio cover that extends within six inches of the front property line on the water with half of the patio on the westerly side to be enclosed by glass for sun protection pursuant to an existing variance (VA342) approved in 1957 for the residential block along the water. The existing Variance (VA342) is vested pursuant to Title 20 (Planning and Zoning) of the NBMC and runs with the land. However, that variance was not carried over into Title 21, thus requiring the variance. The proposed development includes additional appurtenances such as walls, fences, patios, hardscape, drainage devices, and landscaping. The project was previously heard by the Zoning Administrator on October 26, 2023 and has since been revised to include the coastal variance to Title 21 (Local Coastal Program) of the NBMC.
