Long Beach Building Commission October 9, 2026

The Long Beach Building Commission’s regularly scheduled meeting on October 9, 2026, reviewed September activity and permit applications. Staff reported 48 permits with approximately $944,922 in construction costs and $12,934.44 in fees. The commission approved several private-property projects, including a replacement retaining wall, a deck, a new home and demolition, and a home addition. It approved chimney work but denied the accompanying stair work, which would require a variance. A proposed addition of three dry wells in the right-of-way was not approved; the commission called for clarification of the street-cut permit, town authorization, and maintenance responsibilities. No contract award or vendor selection was identified.

The commission discussed the town salt-storage building, which is expected to proceed soon after receipt of state release documentation; no project cost or procurement details were provided. A roughly $31,000 estimate to repave the damaged Ridge Road section remained unresolved pending town council consideration, with responsibility for the damage also under discussion. Commissioners reviewed proposed clarifications to permit application requirements, including site plans, lot-coverage information, and right-of-way approvals, and continued work on zoning-code amendments, with a possible public hearing planned later in the year. No procurement award or spending vote was identified.
