TIBURON
Panel to review
home expansion
The town has set a hearing this week on a controversial construction plan in the Belveron East neighborhood.
The property is a one-story, four-bedroom home at 68 Mercury Ave. at the corner of Apollo Road. The project would involve adding a 755-square-foot second floor and nearly 600 feet in additions to the first floor, according to the town planning office.
About 60 neighbors have signed a petition against the plan, citing objections such as the height, mass and proximity to the property boundaries.
The Design Review Board is scheduled to examine the proposal during its meeting at 7 p.m. Thursday at Town Hall.
