Two-family conversion on a small Simmons Street lot
The Pope Street/West Street petition tested whether a 4,187-square-foot lot can carry two principal buildings and seven bedrooms. Neighbors said it would change the character of a small 1850s-era street; the board punted a month for revisions.
Garage-to-accessory dwelling conversion on Kay Street
Two petitions converted existing structures into ADUs; staff clarified that ADUs cannot be short-term rented and trigger parking requirements if created later. Both were approved.
Redevelopment intensity at 75 Pope Street / 2 West Street
Neighbors fought the original two-unit, cottage-plus-pool plan in August; the developer came back with a single-family plan, a smaller garage, a plunge pool, and a preserved maple tree. The board approved it 4-1 with screening, stormwater, and fencing conditions.
