Terek Dwelling Reconstruction

Attorney for Dr. Terek argued the flat-roof design preserves neighborhood sightlines and that the lot's unique topography — not the applicant — created the hardship.

The project surveyor testified about rain gardens, an infiltration trench, and the denitrification septic system improving salt pond water quality.

The architect testified the house would have been compliant under 2023 rules and that the flat roof preserves neighbors' views.

The property owner said the family has owned the home since 2000, uses it weekends and summers, and the aging house needs replacement.
