STONE HARBOR – Neighbors of a new home going up at 113th Street and Second Avenue have made numerous calls expressing concern with the house, borough construction official Ray Poudrier told the Borough Council Sept. 5. The home is being elevated to a level that puts its first floor and its pool area at the second-floor level of the other homes in the neighborhood.

Some property owners have said that this elevation is excessive and well above what the borough’s ordinances would require. The situation spotlights the borough’s lot-grading ordinance, which went through several changes as it was developed and adopted.
