More houses and a marina office will be going up soon at the waterfront Moss Landing residential development known as Moss Landing Harbor Homes.

During its meeting Tuesday, the city’s Historic Preservation Commission approved issuing certificates of appropriateness for Beacon Street Development Co. to build an office for the Moss Landing marina and two two-story, single-family houses. The houses and office will be consistent with and match other single-family houses in the development, according to Jim Wiley, agent for Beacon Street Development Co.

The marina office would be located on the north side of Moss Way and next to Water Street. The two houses would be built on the south side of Moss Way and next to the manmade wetlands west of the North Carolina Estuarium.

Wiley said the structure for the marina would serve as a “club office.”

The Moss Landing site includes condominiums and townhouses on its east side. The single-family houses are on the west side of the site.

In May 2013, Wiley, a developer with Washington ties, presented Beacon Street Development’s plans to complete Moss Landing to the Washington City Council.

Wiley said then that the single-family homes planned for Moss Landing would add “a tremendous amount of diversity” for the waterfront development.

“As an example of architecture, of how we would see, again, these are small, very well detailed homes. The architecture — the inspiration is all around us in historic district. So, you’ll see things that look like they belong here as we move through,” Wiley said during his review of home designs in 2013.

Because of the proximity to the Pamlico River, some of the houses would be “raised up” because they would be in a flood-prone area. In Washington, structures in the flood-prone areas along and near the waterfront must be built so the first floor (of living space) is 11 feet above the normal river level.
