193 Howes Drive Second-Story Addition
Description
A proposed 364-square-foot first-story and 876-square-foot second-story addition to a 1,088-square-foot home on a nonconforming 6,970-square-foot lot. The commission continued it to August 26 so the applicant can address massing concerns, including the flat two-story rear wall.
Impact summary
The family gets the space they need for a growing household; the redesign reduced the two-story mass neighbors would see.
