Summary

Residential designer James McElroy described a Nantucket‑style elevated replacement house for 134 Broadway that will be moved back from the water and raised to meet FEMA rules; city staff said the applicant must update the CAM form to address three items in the city engineer’s 06/24/26 review as conditions of approval.

James McElroy, a residential designer who lives and works in Milford, presented plans to replace a former house at 134 Broadway with a new elevated single‑family home.

"My name is James McElroy. I'm a residential designer," McElroy said, and described a Nantucket‑style design moved back from the seawall and elevated to conform with FEMA regulations. He said the design allows for four parking spaces beneath the house and a long driveway because the house is set well back from the road.

A city staff member summarized the application as a proposed single‑family dwelling of approximately 42.5 feet in height and advised that the applicant should update the CAM form to address items 1–3 in the city engineer’s 06/24/26 review. The staff member said no adverse impacts to coastal resources are anticipated and that the project will be zoning‑compliant once the engineering issues are addressed; the staff member recommended those engineering items be conditions of approval.

Next steps: the applicant was asked to revise the CAM report addressing the city engineer’s recommendations before final approval.
