Applicant says coverage variance reduces nonconformity; board closes hearing for 32 Davids Lane
Summary
At a March 6 hearing the ZBA heard a coverage-variance request for 32 Davids Lane; the applicant said overall coverage was reduced compared with purchase condition, neighbors submitted letters of support, and the board closed the hearing.
Christopher Kelly, representing the owner of 32 Davids Lane, presented a coverage variance request before the East Hampton Zoning Board of Appeals on March 6. The application requested a 568-square-foot coverage variance to permit 7,079 square feet of coverage where the maximum allowed is 6,511 square feet; Mr. Kelly said the property had a preexisting nonconforming coverage of 7,555 square feet when purchased and that overall coverage has been reduced during as-of-right renovations.
Mr. Kelly said the requested additional coverage supports a roof over an existing patio; he noted four neighbors had submitted letters supporting the application and provided a memo of law explaining how the request meets village variance criteria. Board members who reviewed the submission said the change was not visible from the road and did not appear to adversely impact surrounding properties. The public hearing was closed and the matter will proceed in the board record for decision.
