189 Sound Beach Avenue from 189 Sound Beach Avenue LLC to AP Realty Associates LLC on Aug 20, 2024 for $1,700,000
The application notes the property is currently non-conforming in terms of lot coverage and parking spaces, and the use of the commercial building is non-conforming with the office space on both the first and second floors.
With the proposed project the applicant is looking to maintain and/or improve these non-conformities.
According to the project narrative, the applicant proposes a 2-1/2 story wood framed commercial office building with the attic used for storage and mechanicals.
Also, according to the application narrative, the proposed design harkens back to Federal and Victorian Residential structures similar to those built between 1890 and 1910.
The building would have an asphalt shingle roof, clapboard siding and decorative wood shingles in select locations.
The property at 189 Sound Beach Ave is within the boundaries of the recently approved Old Greenwich Village District.
