The site is zoned RSA-5 and measures 1,955 square feet, with a building footprint of 775 square feet (39.6 percent coverage). Plans call for 28 linear feet of rear yard space, an 8-foot 6-inch side yard, and zero front setback. The structure is approved for a maximum height of 32-and-a-half feet, within the 38-foot limit permitted by zoning.
Plans show a finished basement, a deck at the rear, and a traditionally styled façade with horizontal siding, double-hung windows, and a modest recessed bay. Elevations illustrate a front and rear entry with steps, along with parapet lines extending to the 32-foot roof height.

So happy to see there is no “pilot house” here! It would look so out of place on this charming, small street with small houses.
Arguably the best part: as per the site plan, the existing curb cut will be “abandoned”.
