BZA 2748 parking exception

The project's architect testified Runaway Bay is a self-contained peninsula with 50-foot rights-of-way, deed-restricted single-family lots, and ample, rarely-full street parking.

The property owner said the unit is strictly for family use, the upstairs room will be a gym/bonus room — not a bedroom — and street parking near the tennis courts is rarely full.

The next-door neighbor, who received a similar three-space waiver two years ago, reported no parking problems and supported the application.

A nearby resident on Windjammer Lane said he has witnessed renovations nearby, has no parking issue himself, and sees no adverse effect from the request.
