Historic Landmark Commission Meeting

The commission reviewed a request for a certificate of appropriateness regarding unauthorized exterior alterations and a carport enclosure at 2595 Beach Street. The applicant, representing Shawn's Homes LLC, faced questions regarding the proposed use of the property, which had initially been described as a group home but was later characterized as a single-family rental. Issues were raised regarding the lack of proper permits, zoning compliance, and the aesthetic appropriateness of the enclosure. The building official confirmed a stop-work order was in place due to ongoing interior and exterior work without authorization. Consequently, the commission voted to table the request until the applicant can clarify the property's intended use and secure the necessary building permits and approvals.
