#26-06 - Gunther

Description

The owners asked to let an unenclosed front staircase stick 15.23 feet into the 25-foot front setback — about 11 feet more than code allows — so they can reach the front door of their flood-elevated 1928 historic home. The board said yes, unanimously.

Impact summary

The staircase keeps about 9.5 feet of clearance from the front property line and matches the home's historic footprint, so the streetscape looks essentially unchanged — while the house gets protection from the next storm.
