Minor Subdivision App. No. PLN-26-11

Description

The Dana family wants to divide their 102,684-square-foot historic estate into two lots: one with the original residence, guest house, and carriage house, and one with a single-family home and pool, needing lot-size, setback, and coverage variances.

Impact summary

Nothing is built — the subdivision simply makes two existing residences legally separate, letting the parents downsize.
