Town Hall Live: Council grants variances for 105 Clarendon

Variance, special exceptions and site plan reviews continued

* 780 S. Ocean Blvd.

Attorney Peter Broberg, representing owners: Landmarked house. Built before current zoning codes. Variance to build new guest house with three-car garage.

Motion to grant variance. Passed.

*105 Clarendon Ave.

Attorney Maura Ziska, on behalf of owner Chuck Schumacher: Variance requests to rebuild demolished landmarked house beyond the threshold of 50 percent cubic volume. Variances include side and rear yard setback, building height and overall height.

President Robert Wildrick: So what youre proposing to do is to replicate the house exactly to what was there?

Architect Harold Smith: Yes, except for slightly different roof configuration on the south side.

Gloria Stuart, 129 Clarendon: The east side of my property is the west side of Mr. Schumacher property. Their proposals would be an encroachment on my property.

Wildrick: I believe that what theyre saying is theyre just taking down an old building and putting a new building that will be exactly the same. Is that correct?
