Planning board approves design for 28 Alabama Street with drainage condition
Summary
The Long Beach Planning Board approved an architectural review for a new three‑story single‑family house at 28 Alabama Street, granting approval with a condition that side yards be maintained as grass or permeable surfaces to reduce runoff.
The Long Beach Planning Board voted to approve the architectural review for a new three‑story single‑family dwelling at 28 Alabama Street, subject to a condition requiring the side yard to be maintained as grass or other permeable materials to manage drainage.
The board discussed the house’s dimensions and appearance relative to nearby properties and agreed the size is consistent with the block. An unnamed presenter described the design and noted a perspective rendering showed plantings in the side yard; a board member raised concerns about stormwater running into the street and recommended drainage or permeable landscaping.
Board member Gautau moved to approve the application with that condition; Board member Patton seconded the motion. Board members present — Gautau, Martinson, Patton, Spada and Acting Chair Clancy — all voted to approve the application, and the board recorded that the application was approved with the conditions stated on the record.
No additional appeals or variances were discussed for this item at the meeting. Any future building permits or changes to the design will be reviewed under the normal building‑permit and site‑plan processes.
