Two-Story Single-Family Residence, Sailboat Bend Historic District
Description
New construction of an approximately 8,500-square-foot two-story mid-century tropical modern residence on a 17,949-square-foot waterfront vacant lot. A first approval motion failed over garage-door width and riverfront sliding doors; after review of the right-of-way definition, a second motion passed with conditions.
Impact summary
Fills a long-vacant, overgrown waterfront lot with a design echoing the street's rare mid-century modern character, but the debate set the stage for future fights over how strictly district rules apply.
