DRB approves demolition at 162 South Beach; neighbors raise notice concerns
Summary
The board approved demolition at 162 South Beach Road with standard conditions and landscape mitigation. A town manager relayed a neighbor's objection that notice reached seasonal residents late; a representative asked the board to consider continuing the matter but the board proceeded and approved.
The Development Review Board approved the owner's request to demolish the existing one‑story residence, guest house, pool and associated hardscaping at 162 South Beach Road, subject to the standard conditions recommended by staff: gatekeeper on site during construction, a permitted staging plan, parking behind construction fencing, removal of the septic tank and restoration/enhancement of affected buffers within 10 days of demolition completion.
Town manager Bob Garlow relayed a comment from an adjacent resident that notice of the application arrived late to seasonal homeowners; Charles Donaldson, speaking for a neighboring family, asked the board to consider a continuance so affected neighbors could review plans in person. The chair noted the town's notice procedures and calendar constraints (no September meeting; next meeting October 8) and the board voted to approve the demolition with staff conditions.
