CDP_2023-0012 (Boele)

Project CDP_2023-0012 is a Standard Coastal Development Permit request for Marc and Kathleen Boele to modify 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, entry gates, and a 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 is managed by the Mendocino County Planning and Building Services, with Jessie Waldman serving as the project planner. Environmental review conducted under the California Environmental Quality Act concluded that a Mitigated Negative Declaration is appropriate, as an Environmental Impact Report is not required. To minimize impacts on biological resources and environmentally sensitive habitat areas, the project must implement mitigation measures BIO-1 through BIO-5. Key requirements include staging construction materials in previously impacted areas, utilizing standard best management practices for erosion control, and ensuring exterior lighting is shielded to prevent glare beyond the parcel boundaries. The permit remains valid for two years from the effective date, provided that construction progress is continuous.
