[MassHistPres] Infill and Additions in Local Historic Districts

[Dennis De Witt]

Brookline approved a single large new side-by-side twin house at 235-237 Walnut St., in Pill Hill, after considerable design review,  It is set well back to align with its neighbors, whereas the developer had wanted the two side-by-side twin houses (4 DUs) set closer to the street, and with greater lot coverage, that were allowed by right under zoning.

These could be examples that met the local historic design guidelines and were approved or ones where there were some challenging aspects to the design review process, resulting in a denial or modification of the design.
