[MassHistPres] Land transfer out of Historic District

[THOMAS KRAUS]

A developer is about to purchase a home in our Historic District and it associated lot behind this home..  Presently most of this small lot is grass covered and part of the HD home’s backyard.   

The developer intends to transfer land from the lot with the home in the HD to the lot behind  so he can construct a duplex on this lot which is too small by itself to support a duplex.

Needless to say, the large duplex in close proximity would completely change the character of the Historic District in general and eliminate most of the HD home’s backyard.

Does a Historic District have the power to stop this land transfer out of the HD?  Does anyone have any experience in stopping such a transfer?
