Board approves ADU at 89 Stephen Drive; applicant to complete building‑phase fire‑code work at permitting
Summary
Farland Corp. presented a 643‑square‑foot ADU addition to an existing fire‑damaged house at 89 Stephen Drive; the board approved the site plan after confirming setbacks and parking and noting that fire‑code issues will be addressed at the building permit stage.
The board approved a site plan for an accessory dwelling unit (ADU) at 89 Stephen Drive after a presentation by Nate Da Silva of Farland Corp. The project replaces an existing footprint damaged by fire with a roughly 643‑square‑foot ADU addition at the rear of the house; the applicant added a requested water line and adjusted grading following a site visit.
Board members confirmed that setbacks and parking requirements were met and that the building department had reviewed technical comments. Nate noted the ADU footprint and that the deck was enlarged; the board approved the site plan by roll call with the usual condition that fire‑code compliance be completed during permitting. “I'll let them know,” Nate said when the board closed the item.
Staff flagged that any remaining building‑phase issues — sprinklers, smoke/carbon detectors and fire blocking between units — will be handled at permit review.
