Regarding: Area Variance and Site Plan Review Application Submission
Rienzi Residence – 374 Cleverdale Road
Dear Mr. Traver & McCabe:
Submitted for your distribution and review are 15 sets of the applicable Area Variance and Site
Plan Review Application documents for the referenced project located at 374 Cleverdale Road.
The subject property consists of a lawful nonconforming (shoreline setback, Permeable Area)
single-family residence with an existing deck on the east side of the structure. The project
involves the replacement of the existing deck with a new deck structure that expands to the
east and north.
We will be seeking area variances for the expansion of the lawful, nonconforming residence
which will result in a decrease in Permeability to 70.3%, this decrease is generated from the
proposed deck extending over the existing permeable block pavers underneath the proposed
structure. Relief is also requested for Shoreline Setback (existing deck is 47’ from shoreline,
proposed deck is 42’ from shoreline) vs. the 50’ allowed. The applicant is also proposing a
slight encroachment into the side yard setback, 19’ is requested vs. the 20’ allowed.
All required application documents including site plans, deck building plans, Area Variance
Application, deed, survey, and application fee have been complied in the Area Variance
Package.
A waiver from Area Variance submittal requirements for non-residential items (square footage
building usage breakdown, signage, lighting, etc.) info is herein requested.
Site Plan Review will be required as development will involve expansion of the nonconforming
residence which is within a CEA. All required application documents including site plans,
architectural plans, Site Plan Review Application, deed, survey, and application fee have been
compiled in the Site Plan Review package.
