Town Hall Live: Restaurant and Church Declaration of Use Agreements

Terrace and balcony variances, 102 Jungle Road

Attorney David Klein: Applicant requesting variances to expand raised terrace with front yard setback of 22.9 feet in lieu of 35-foot minimum; install a 292.4-square-foot awning over proposed terrace with 24-foot front yard setback in lieu of 35-foot minimum; add a balcony to second story with front yard setback of 26.9 feet in lieu of 33-foot minimum; and to maintain existing non-conforming lot coverage.

Zoning Administrator Paul Castro: Landmarks Preservation Commission said changes would not negatively affect architecture of house. But they need to speak to hardship.

Klein: Hardship is the house is a landmark, which causes strict limitations. Terrace and balcony adjacent to part of house built in 1935 that is not conforming to todays codes. Neighbor is on board with changes.

Council grants all variances.
