ENDORSEMENT OF LAND USE BOARD SECRETARY: Lauren Caravano ESCROW REQUESTS • 101 Fourth St. Block: 174 Lot: 12.04 o Escrow Return: $328.00. OLD BUSINESS • RESOLUTION #2021:13 207 N. Bay Ave.- 203, 207, 211 N. Bay Ave. – Block:155 Lots: 1,2,3&4 • RESOLUTION #2021-20 Rodas - 421 Centre St. – Block:146 Lot: 20 PUBLIC HEARING • APPLICATION #2021:21 Williams – 325 Jefferis Ave. – Block:40 Lot: 17 Applicants came before the Land Use Board in 2020. Bulk variances were granted for front yard setback and building coverage. The proposed addition consisted of enclosing a portion of the home at the existing deck on the easterly section of the house, and increasing the size of the remaining westerly deck by 2 feet and traversing the entire width of the house with first and second story decks. The proposed two-story addition was intended to provide the applicant with adequate space to install an elevator shaft. Additional decking was also proposed on the first and second story. Resolution 2020-02 further indicated that the floor area ratio would not exceed 50%. When submitting plans for building permits, it came to light that the existing floor area ratio is 56% and with the addition, the proposed floor area ratio is 61.9%. The applicant is now seeking variance for floor area ratio. • APPLICATION #2021-22 Ciulla- 420 Centre St. – Block:146 Lot: 20 The Applicant proposes to demolish the existing single-family dwelling at the site and construct a new single-family dwelling. This property is unique in that it is a through lot located in the RB Two- Family Residential District, but does not meet the minimum lot size requirements for a two-family dwelling. The Applicant is proposing a pool on the Dock Road side of the property, which requires a variance based upon the fact that both the Second Street side of the property and the Dock Road side of the property are considered front yards. Under the Zoning Ordinance, a pool is not permitted at the subject property because pools are not permitted in a front yard. In addition, a 6-foot-tall fence is proposed along the Dock Road frontage of the property to provide privacy for the pool and to prevent pedestrians on the street from accessing the pool. Applicants are seeking variance relief for the proposed inground pool and fence. • APPLICATION #2021-23 DMM ASSOCIATES- 300 Taylor Ave. – Block:186 & 188.02 Lot: 1 & 1.01 There is currently a one-story building on Taylor Avenue that is utilized as the waterpark lobby, a snack bar, bathrooms, a filter pump room, and offices. The applicant proposes to construct a second-story addition to accommodate a 4-bedroom apartment for housing employees and additional office space. ADJOURNMENT
