Attorney,Jack McElhaney represented the Variance petition request for relief from the wetlands of a proposed new home.The home is being built within the 50 ft. setback at the top of the coastal bank as shown on the site plan that was issued to the Board. The home will be located 17 ft. at its closest point, with a 3 ft. high retaining wall, and a patio 2.5 ft. from the coastal bank. The Attorney gave a brief history of the lot that is part of the Shoestring Bay sub-division originally built in the 1980's. Shoestring Bay Road runs parallel to the bay into the coastal bank with a dozen other homes that are located on that street. The bank is located roughly 50-150 ft. off the seaward side of the road. The lots are very narrow and at the time the road was constructed this particular regulation did not exist. The 40 ft. frontage setback is off of Shoestring Bay Road, and 50 ft. setback off the coastal bank. The subdivision original consisted of 35 lots,and 32 have been built. The lot 69 Shoestring was constructed at the time the road was built. The site plan was approved by the Conservation Commission on June 23, 2022. They approved the 17 ft. setback and is the same requested relief from the ZBA. The order of conditions has not been processed but it was approved. The hardship conditions were created with the conditions of the site primarily the historical location in proximity to the coastal bank. The lot is irregularly shaped along Shoestring Bay,and there is an ancient way called Bryants Cove Road which is a no build zone of the golf course. The house meets all other setbacks,and the lot coverage is 10.4%which is below the requirement in the R-3 Zoning District.
