Historic Preservation Board Continues Application for 46 Greenway Amidst Concerns Over Massing and Variances

The Historic Preservation Board heard a complex application for 46 Greenway, involving demolition of a detached accessory structure, relocation of a historic contributing residence, variances, and waivers. The property faces significant flooding issues. The applicant proposed elevating the main residence to meet FEMA requirements and constructing a substantial two-story addition. The board and public engaged in extensive discussion regarding the scale of the addition, its compatibility with the historic structure and neighborhood character, and the necessity of variances. Several board members expressed concerns about the massing and scale of the addition overwhelming the historic home. The board ultimately voted to continue the application to allow the applicant to address specific concerns related to pool setback, pool barrier, massing, and blank west elevation walls.
