CDP_2023-0012 (Boele)

Coastal Development Permit CDP_2023-0012, managed by Mendocino County Planning and Building Services, authorizes Marc and Kathleen Boele to perform various improvements to a single-family residence located at 45175 Fern Drive, Mendocino, California. The scope of work includes constructing an addition featuring a new bathroom, deck, porch, and entry gates, as well as installing a new hot tub with a slab and landscaping walls. Additionally, the project involves replacing the entry stairway and reconfiguring existing fencing, parking, and landscaping walls. The project has undergone environmental review under the California Environmental Quality Act, resulting in a Mitigated Negative Declaration. To minimize impacts on biological resources and environmentally sensitive habitats, the project must adhere to mitigation measures BIO-1 through BIO-5. Key requirements include staging materials outside of ESHA habitats, employing standard best management practices for erosion control, and ensuring exterior lighting is shielded and downcast. The permit remains valid for two years from the effective date, provided that construction is initiated and progress remains continuous. Administrative oversight is led by Planner Jessie Waldman, and the project has been coordinated with agencies including CAL FIRE, the California Coastal Commission, and CDFW Region 1.
