Historic Preservation Commission - Oct 21, 2026
Amendment to the approved rear-addition CoA: shorter walkway, changed stair angles and deck, window changes, increased height, relocated mini-splits, and added eyebrow details echoing the main house.
Historic Preservation Commission Design Review - Oct 7, 2026
Owners of a house under construction want major changes to their 2024-approved rear addition: shorter walkway, moved and resized windows, mini-splits instead of a package unit, no screening, and a steeper roof pitch. Some work is already done, which drew a gentle rebuke.
