Homeowners get OK for 252‑sq‑ft library addition in St. James
Summary
The Joint Coastal Management Commission found a proposed 252‑sq‑ft addition at 54 Harbor Hill Road consistent with the local waterfront revitalization program and approved the plan unanimously after homeowners said no trees would be removed and impervious area limits were met.
The Joint Coastal Management Commission on April 3 unanimously found an application for a one‑room, 252‑square‑foot library and study at 54 Harbor Hill Road consistent with the local waterfront revitalization program (LWRP). The plan, presented by homeowners Alexandra Leighton and Michael Utevsky, was approved after a motion by Bob Johnson and a second from Jim Gallo.
Leighton and Utevsky said the project would add a new roof, gutters and a door to connect the new library/study to the porch. "No trees are being removed, and they are under the percentage limit for the impervious surface area," Leighton told the commission. The board concluded the application meets JCMC guidelines and voted to find the plan consistent with the LWRP.
The approval carries no further conditions recorded in the minutes. The action was recorded at the April 3 meeting; the commission did not list any additional required permits in the meeting minutes.
