Board approves ADU conversion at 400 Locust with condition to pull deck back from power lines
Summary
The board approved a design review and coastal permit for an attached ADU and elevated deck at 400 Locust Street, adding a condition that the deck be pulled back 2 feet from nearby utility/power lines for safety; staff and the applicant agreed to the change.
Staff presented the project at 400 Locust Street as a request for an ADU conversion and a new elevated deck that would extend the living area and slightly increase site coverage. Staff recommended approval with conditions and added two specific conditions to preserve landscaping and ensure deck clearance from utilities.
Architect Anders Lassiter told the board the applicant would accept the staff-recommended change and agreed to pull the deck back 2 feet to address proximity to power lines; he said, "we would happily accept staff's recommendation of pulling it back 2 feet tonight." Board members agreed that the small deck pull-back improved safety. The board adopted the resolution approving design review and the coastal development permit with the staff conditions plus the 2-foot deck pull-back.
