Board approves Habitat for Humanity plans for two homes at 235 Ingham Ave
Summary
A Habitat for Humanity application for two dwellings, including one five-bedroom house, at 235 Ingham Ave received a negative declaration and unanimous site-plan approval; board noted lot-width variance and asked for standard permit submittals.
The board approved a Habitat for Humanity site plan for two new residences at 235 Ingham Ave, including one five-bedroom home under a local affordable-housing contract. Planning staff noted the lots are narrower than the standard lot-width requirement and said a variance had already been granted for the 33-foot lot.
A representative who identified himself in the transcript as "Peter" described the project as the second home under a contract with the local housing authority and explained the program’s use of volunteer labor and sweat-equity requirements. The representative said the five-bedroom design will include full basements and that construction could start as soon as the ground allows. "It's 5 bedroom," he said when asked about the unit mix.
Board members reviewed energy-code compliance points and discussed timing and foundations; there were no members of the public who offered opposition. The Planning Department recommended a negative environmental declaration, which the board issued. The site-plan approval passed by unanimous vote. The board recorded that standard building permits and trade approvals are still required before construction begins.
