Design Board considers 10th Street addition; Council to weigh $1M lagoon grant next week
Del Mar’s recent public meetings focused on residential projects and neighborhood input, while the City Council prepares to tackle regional wastewater terms, a federal grant for lagoon protection, and an encroachment permit at its next session.
Design Review Board
The Design Review Board’s June 24 agenda included a permit request for a residential renovation at 520 10th Street. Under application DRB25-021, the owner is seeking a 193-square-foot total addition, a 272-square-foot deck extension, and the conversion of a 150-square-foot breezeway into living space. The board was also slated to approve minutes from its May 27 meeting. No decisions are available because meeting minutes have not yet been published.
Neighborhood Meetings
Two Citizens’ Participation Program (CPP) meetings gave neighbors a chance to comment on proposed single-family home projects before formal applications are filed.
On June 25, applicant Sean Barry of Barry Estates presented plans to demolish the existing residence at 1641 Stratford Way and build a new single-family dwelling. Associate Planner Jean Crutchfield was the city contact. No binding votes are taken at CPP sessions.
A June 29 CPP meeting covered a proposal by John Gildred to demolish the home at 919 Stratford Court and construct a new two-story house with an attached garage. The format again allowed early feedback, with no official action.
Coming up
The City Council meets July 7 with a consent calendar that includes three money items:
- A second amended regional wastewater disposal agreement with the City of San Diego.
- A $1,031,000 federal funding application for the San Dieguito Lagoon Shoreline Protection Project.
- $90,000 in repairs at the 21st Street Wastewater Pump Station.
Also on consent, the council will consider an $80,805 purchase for a new Fire Station Alerting System from Honeywell and a resolution certifying right-of-way for the Camino Del Mar Bridge Replacement project, a step needed for federal funding.
A public hearing will address an encroachment permit for a vehicle gate at 1411 Via Alta. Council members will also receive updates on the bridge replacement, a draft environmental impact report for the city’s capital improvement program, and an undergrounding program streetlight policy.
All meetings are open to the public. Agendas and participation details are posted on the city’s website.
