Michael DeRosa seeks approval for raised 2,500 sq ft home at 20 Hanover Street
Summary
Applicant Michael DeRosa told the board the cleared lot at 20 Hanover Street will accommodate a roughly 2,500-square-foot, two‑story raised home with engineering approvals for water management; staff noted the dwelling would be about 31 feet tall, is zoning‑compliant with a west side yard variance and that city engineer adjustments (07/01/2026) could be conditions of approval.
Michael DeRosa introduced himself and described a proposal to build a raised two‑story single‑family house on a cleared lot at 20 Hanover Street.
"So, Michael DeRosa, the property's at 20 Hanover Street. It is a cleared lot. We are building a 2,500 square foot home," DeRosa said, adding the house would be raised to meet FEMA requirements and that engineering approvals for water management were in place.
A city staff member summarized the proposal as a single‑family dwelling of approximately 31 feet in height, noted that a variance had been granted for the west side yard, and said the city engineer’s adjustments listed in a 07/01/2026 memo could be included as conditions of approval. The staff member said no adverse impacts to coastal resources were anticipated.
Next steps: the applicant should address the engineer’s recommended adjustments as conditions of approval prior to final permitting.
