16 Anthony Street rear addition

Description

Two-story rear addition and slightly oversized third-floor balcony on a ~3,000-square-foot lot, converting a summer house to a year-round residence. The height request was dropped after a zoning officer modification.

Impact summary

Only 106 square feet added to the footprint; lot coverage goes down while usable living space roughly triples the code-compliant area.
