Board approves subdivision at 213 Webster Ave, grants lot-area and setback variances
Summary
The Planning Board approved a minor subdivision for 213 Webster Ave that splits a 5,000 sq ft lot into two 2,500 sq ft lots, converts a three-family building to two-family to improve flood compliance, and granted C variances for lot area and side setbacks.
The Seaside Heights Planning Board on March 2 approved a minor subdivision for 213 Webster Ave that splits a 5,000-square-foot parcel into two 2,500-square-foot lots and grants C variances for lot area and side-yard setbacks.
Applicant Dr. Donald Oh proposed converting an existing three-family building into a two-family dwelling and building a new single-family home on the newly created lot. "Starting with 3 units and ending with 3 units on two lots improves the property," testified Jeffrey J. Carr, the applicant’s engineer and planner, arguing the proposal reduces on-site density and brings the existing building into flood-compliance by removing ground-floor living space.
The proposal requests lot-area variances (2,500 sq ft where 4,000 is required) and side-yard setbacks (2.2 feet and 2.9 feet where three feet are required), plus a 19-foot curb cut where 16 feet is allowed. Board planner Jennifer Gorini told the board that because the property sits in the Low-Density Residential Zone, converting a three-family into one two-family and one single-family lot permits review under C-variance standards rather than a D (use) variance.
Board engineer Michael Goldstein flagged a concern about whether two large cars would be able to maneuver in the proposed carport. With no public questions, Chris Vaz moved to adopt the resolution approving the subdivision and variances; Joseph Rocco seconded and the motion passed unanimously. The board will memorialize the resolution at its March 30 meeting.
