The New Canaan Building Department last week received an application for a 4,425-square-foot house on Skyview Lane. The four-bedroom home planned for 49 Skyview Lane will include three full bathrooms, a half-bath and 3-bay garage, as well as a 2,959-square-foot unfinished basement, according to the building permit application filed Sept. 4.
It will cost about $2 million to build, the application said. The contractor on the job is Greenwich-based Hemingway Construction Corp, it said, the architect Burr Salvatore Architects of Darien. The 1.65-acre property was purchased in May for $1,950,000, tax records show.
Saying a contractor inadvertently located an inground swimming pool about 18 inches into a setback, a local homeowner is seeking an exception under the New Canaan Zoning Regulations so that it can remain as it is. Under the New Canaan Zoning Regulations, the side yard setback for accessory structures in the two-acre zone is 35 feet (see page 60). The owners of 278 Davenport Ridge are seeking an after-the-fact variance to the regulation for an 800-square-foot pool built behind their house by Darien-based Swimm Pools Inc., according to a narrative that forms part of their application.
“Swimm inadvertently measured the pool from the edge of the water to the setback while New Canaan regulations measure pools from the coping to the setback,” Christopher and Kimberly Pepe wrote in their narrative. “This created the current violation of 17 inches and 18 inches violation to both side yard setbacks.”
The Zoning Board of Appeals is scheduled to take up the application at its regular meeting at 7 p.m. Monday. A presentation submitted to the ZBA (and available for viewing here) includes photos that show a narrow coping around the pool.
