Amy said the lot is 6,000 square feet and has two houses on it, both which
were moved there. The houses were restored and it is a successful project.
Neither house has an addition that detracts or alters their character. The
project is at the maximum floor area and Mr. Boyce is the new owner and
needs to do some foundationrepair and at the say time would like to put a
light well in. They want to use some basement space for a bedroom and it
must meet light and egress requirements. They are requesting an FAR
bonus solely for the light well with conditions: Information on how the
window looks needs to be provided. They need to use a grate and not a
railing around the light well and HPC's standard conditions regarding not
making changes to the project.
Jesse Boyce said they are closing on the house Oct. 7th. In the building
inspection they found water leakage around the exterior wall. There is an
existing bedroom and they would like to install a safety egress in case of
fire. They will keep it as small as possible, around eight feet by three feet.
Stirling said the house was on Spring St. and then moved to Hopkins. The
window well will be level with the ground.
The chair opened the public heating. No public present. The chair closed
the public hearing.
Comments:
Jeffrey supports staff's recommendation.
Michael relayed that the project is very modest and fully in keeping with
historic preservation.
Neill said maybe it should be made clearer that the proposed window well
be put in the approximate location of the map. That way if something
occurs with the refurbishing of the foundation they would need to come
back and present the changes.
Boyce said they intend to center the window between the two electrical
sockets.
