Administrative Review 43-2739 (50 Spoondrift Way): Request modification to pool patio area. No change in footprint. The Agent reviewed the original filing in 2014 for the reconstruction of a single family home, pool and patio and also repair and reconstruction of the existing retaining wall. Harry Capone, Harold Capone Residential Design, was representing the applicant. The Administrative Review is for the change in material - from wood deck boards on gravel to concrete with a recessed concrete area for deck boards on unattached pressure treated wood grid on recessed concrete and gravel. Mr. Capone reviewed the landscape design with the members. The Agent said the size of the pool and patio remain the same. The request is a change in material surrounding the pool. Mr. Capone explained there are two drywells near the house which will pick up some of the drainage. He said the owners felt this change would be easier to maintain and the cost was also a concern. The Agent said as long as they have control over drainage, the change will not have any adverse impacts on the resource areas. He said there are drywells and a planting strip along the top of the coastal bank retaining wall and the combination should alleviate any concerns about runoff into the resource area.
