The site measures 842 square feet and lies within an RSA-5 zoning district, which permits single-family household living. The proposed footprint spans 603 square feet, (71.5 percent lot coverage), leaving 240 square feet of open area (28.5 percent). The building will rise 38 feet to the main roof, matching the zoning maximum, with a 9-foot rear yard included.
Plans show a cellar, three stories of living space, and a roof deck set back 5 feet from the street, accessed via a pilot house. Roof deck guardrails will measure 42 inches, with a pilot house limited to stair and landing use. Exterior elevations depict a traditional row-house form with brick and siding finishes, parapets, and double-hung windows.
The surrounding block consists of two- and three-story rowhouses, with the new home set to occupy a currently vacant lot.
