1505 Drake Avenue New Dwelling (Project No. DSR25-0019)
Description
A new 2,942-square-foot two-story home with variances for closer front setbacks and a special permit for a rear second-floor balcony. Approved as conditioned after the designer moved the house back to the 20-foot line.
Impact summary
A large new home on a standard lot; the second-floor variance is the sticking point, with a 20-foot setback floated as the acceptable compromise.
