    BSA sustains permits on Queens waterfront site

    Appeal  •  Douglaston, Queens

    Buildings granted permits for developer’s personal home on Little Neck Bay waterfront. On January 20, 2006, Buildings issued a certificate of occupancy to developer Carl Mattone, the President of Mattone Group LLC, for his personal home, a two-story, 5,369-square-foot house at 37-19 Regatta Place in Douglaston, Queens. The seven-sided, 11,801-square-foot lot lies within a residential district (R1-2) along the south side of Little Neck Bay’s waterfront. The lot is partially underwater with 10,756 sq.ft. of developable upland property, as measured from the shoreline.

    During the home’s construction, Gordhandas Soni, owner of the adjoining lot, protested the issuance of a construction permit. She disputed the amount of upland property, the size of which determines floor area and lot coverage limits. Buildings issued a stop-work order, corrected the calculations and allowed construction to continue, issuing a final determination in 2005 and a C of O in 2006. (read more…)
