Body
BACKGROUND:
PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
Bayshore Marine Consulting, LLC (“Applicant”), on behalf of Sal Iannuzzi (“Owner”) is requesting authorization for an existing boat docking facility to enroach 6.7’ into the 15-foot side riparian setback in the Conover Waterway. This is a waterfront corner lot with 160 feet of seawall frontage, requiring 15-foot side riparian setbacks on both sides. The 15-foot setback on the south side is met, but the western riparian setback is reduced to 8.3 feet. The application, plans and additional information are attached.
FUNDING SOURCE / FISCAL IMPACT: Applicant has paid $1,500.00 in applicable fees.
PUBLIC NOTICE REQUIREMENTS: 15 days prior to the Planning Board hearing.
NOTICE APPEARANCE DATE(S): September 18, 2024
RECOMMENDATION:
STAFF RECOMMENDATION AND FINDINGS:
Staff recommends the Planning Board approved BD 24-000149 for a 6.7-foot encroachment into the 15-foot side riparian setback, based on the below findings:
1. The existing boat docking facility meets the required side riparian setback on the southern side and meets protrusion requirements from both seawall faces.
2. The docking facility was approved by City Staff and was constructed consistent with the approved plans. It was later discovered that the dock approval was in error as Staff inadvertently treated the subject property as a “shoulder lot”, when it is in fact a “waterfront corner lot”.
3. The docking facility does not protrude more than 25 percent of the waterway width.
4. The portion of the dock dedicated to vessel mooring complies with protrusion and setback limitations. The western section of the dock is the subject of this variance request and does not appear to present any navigational obstructions.
5. The docking facility is located at the terminus of the canal and positioned in a manner that does not appear to present any visual obstructions to surrounding property owners.
6. The vessels utilized (27’ LOA & 12’ LOA) do not cumulatively make up 50 percent of the property’s 160 feet of frontage. The area of dock encroaching into the side setback does not obstruct views of the channel of surrounding property owners; as the vessels are moored at another part of the dock.
7. The docking facility is located at the terminus of the canal and will not infringe upon the use of neighboring properties or dock facilities.
8. There are no seagrasses identified in the subject waterway.
POTENTIAL MOTION:
Move to approve Resolution 24-XX.
