Homeowner’s amended plan for 124 South Pointe Drive approved by Homewood Planning Commission
Summary
The commission unanimously approved amended development plan D250701 to reinstate a covered rear porch at 124 South Pointe Drive after the applicant submitted an amended survey showing no increase in impervious-area risk and digital neighbor support.
The Homewood Planning Commission on a unanimous vote approved D250701, an amended development plan to reinstate a covered rear porch at 124 South Pointe Drive.
Matthew York, homeowner of 124 South Pointe Drive, told the commission he removed the porch cover from an earlier plan to speed permitting after the family expanded and later sought to amend the plan to add the cover back. "They found that there would be no, no increase in any risk associated with the impervious area coverage," York said, describing a survey he requested to assess impervious-area impacts.
York said he had contacted nearby neighbors and received digital support from about 25 residents, and offered to submit the signed digital record to staff. Commissioners confirmed the proposal met the MPD height and setback requirements except that a variance from the MPD setback would be required if it were an NPD lot; staff advised the proposal met other MPD standards.
No members of the public spoke on the case during the public hearing. After staff and the applicant answered a brief set of questions, a commissioner moved to approve D250701; the motion was seconded and passed in a roll call with all voting yes.
The commission’s approval restores the covered portion of the rear deck shown on the applicant’s amended survey. No additional conditions beyond the submitted amended survey and the usual permitting requirements were noted on the record.
