The applicant requests Coastal Permit approval to construct a new 1,794 square foot single-family residence and 828 square foot Accessory Dwelling Unit on a lot that contains two sheds and a 1,000 gallon water tank in Bolinas. The 2,622 square feet of proposed development would result in a floor area ratio of 1.7 percent on the 153,200 square foot lot. 

The proposed residence would reach a maximum height of 15 feet, 4 inches above surrounding grade and the exterior walls would have the following setbacks: 70 feet, 7 inches from the southern front property line; approximately 300 feet from the eastern side property line; 195 feet, 7 inches from the western side property line; 131 feet, 1 inch from the northern rear property line.

Various site improvements would also be entailed in the proposed development, including the development of a septic system to serve the two residential structures, installation of two 5,000 gallon water tanks that are more than 100 feet from all property lines, construction of a new 80 square foot shed that would be located more than 100 feet from all property lines, and a new on grade driveway and firetruck turnaround. Additionally, the two existing sheds and 1,000 gallon water tank would be legalized as part of this application.
