Appeal 2700 — Fill variance, 412 Liberty Street

Description

The owner wants to build a new 1,800-square-foot single-family home on a 140-by-50-foot floodplain lot, but can't fit the required 15 feet of fill on both sides. The board granted a reduced variance requiring fill to the lot lines plus minimum elevation compliance.

Impact summary

A vacant floodplain lot gets a new house instead of sitting empty — but the fill stops at the lot lines rather than raising the whole parcel out of the floodplain.
