Architect says homeowners will seek to mitigate runoff for 93 5th addition; board reads draft motion
Summary
Balzer and Tuck architect said homeowners at 93 5th will explore multiple water‑mitigation options as part of a plan for an addition; the board read a draft motion for setback relief and discussed whether to place a conditional requirement for mitigation.
The board heard a presentation for proposed renovations and an addition at 93 5th Avenue. Architect Mike Tuck said the homeowners want to be "good neighbors" and will explore options to reduce paved area and add a planted berm or other mitigation to prevent sheet flow to adjacent properties.
Tuck told the board that the applicants submitted a follow-up letter and intend to pursue water-mitigation measures rather than a single prescribed fix: "the homeowners do want to be good neighbors and they're absolutely going to try to mitigate any concern for the paved area along the side of the garage," he said. The board read a draft motion (20240649) that seeks relief for interior side setback and total side setback; the motion was seconded but there is no roll-call or final vote recorded in the provided transcript. Members debated whether to add a binding condition regarding water mitigation or instead note the applicant's intent in the decision record.
