Resolution extended

 

Resolution #2017-19 – 1301 Ocean Avenue LLC – Block 18.01; lot 1 – Applicant requesting administrative deviation from site plan. Requesting to remove garbage enclosure and relocate garbage storage to garage. 

 

Ray Savacool reviewed request of the relocation of garbage cans to garage. Only concern would be the future owners having a larger number of cans. At the present time the units are family occupied.  They are allocated a number of cans per unit.

Either way garbage cans would be put out on the curb; there was no dumpster requirement. John Dixons concern is the large number of cans in a wind storm.  The building contains 7 units. The applicants engineer, Anthony Maltese, stated that at current time there will be no more than 3 cans. Chairman Struncius commented we do not know what the future holds. Mr. McGee also questioned if recycling will also be contained in garage. (yes)

Motion by second by to allow deviation from the plan and allow applicant to store garbage in the garage.

In favor:  Pasola, Dixon, Schneider, Kelly, Reynolds, McGee and Struncius

Opposed:  None

Resolution – 2019-22 – Gankiewicz – 121 Randall – requesting to amend condition in reference to foundation covering

John Jackson, attorney for applicant presented the new proposed rendering. The board agreed it looks much nicer but vice chair Reynolds was concerned that it would now lend itself to be living space now. Ms Crasper inquired was the materials are now proposed for the foundation. (the foundation will be cement board, break away walls).

 

Ray Savacool stated that he will have the condition to have the walls tethered, secondly the foundation should comply with the ordinance of landscaping or beautification of the foundation.   Plans to be approved by board engineer. Chairman Struncius believes it is aesthetically better. It will be stipulated that there will be no living in this area.
