Planning board approves building permit for 829 East Walnut
Summary
The Long Beach Planning Board unanimously approved a resolution to issue a building permit for 829 East Walnut, a new house on a 100-by-100 lot. The owner said the large tree on site will be retained and the board discussed neighborhood scale and drainage before voting to approve.
The Long Beach Planning Board voted to approve a resolution authorizing issuance of a building permit for 829 East Walnut, allowing construction of a new home on a 100-by-100 lot that previously had been demolished. Board members said the proposal fits the varied character of the block and cited the lot size as appropriate for the proposed home.
The applicant, Sean Bass, identified himself for the record as "Sean Bass. I'm the owner of 829 Swan Hill Street." Bass told the board he does not plan to remove a large tree shown in the project materials. A board member asked about drainage and downspouts; the applicant said the site has significant grass and trees and did not indicate planned changes to downspouts or permeable surfaces. One board member noted the property previously burned in February and that the project is a rebuild on that site.
A motion to approve the resolution to issue the building permit was made and seconded. The chair then conducted a roll-call vote; each named member voiced approval and the board recorded the application as approved. "This application has been approved," the clerk stated after the vote.
The record includes an inconsistency between the applicant’s spoken home address and the project address: the applicant identified himself as living at 829 Swan Hill Street while the board considered a permit for 829 East Walnut. The board did not record any conditions or amendments to the approval at the meeting.
