Council clears
plan for house

The Town Council has approved a home demolition and construction plan at 67 Bolinas Ave.

The project involves tearing down a one-story, 1,087-square-foot house, an art studio and a garage, according to a staff report by Alex Lopez-Vega, a town planner. The buildings will be replaced with a 1,334-square-foot, two-story house and a garage. The roof height will rise from 18 feet, 5 inches to 27 feet, 6 inches.

The property owners plan to file a separate application for ministerial approval of a 666-square-foot accessory dwelling unit at the front of the house, Lopez-Vega wrote.

The council approved the project at its meeting on Thursday.
