Applicant describes basement excavation plan for 74 Peconic Avenue; board closes hearing
Summary
An applicant presented a construction protocol for excavating and converting crawl spaces and a basement at 74 Peconic Ave. Town staff and an architect raised no structural concerns and the board closed the public hearing to further comment.
At the public hearing for 74 Peconic Avenue, the applicant (identified in the record as Matt) described a "very straightforward design protocol" for accessing and excavating the existing basement and crawl space, shoring up the building and removing material to the road while preserving structural integrity.
Town staff and an architect (Pam Pospicell referenced by the applicant) reviewed photographs and concluded they had no concerns about the building’s condition or its ability to accommodate the planned renovations. Board members asked about soil handling and whether first-floor studs could support a second story; the applicant said soils would be stored on-site where possible and excess hauled to local soil yards. After discussion the board moved to close the hearing to public comment.
