The project calls for the erection of an attached dwelling with a rear deck, two balconies, and a roof deck with an access pilot house. The building will be fully sprinklered and will include a finished basement.

The property is zoned RSA-5 (Residential Single-Family Attached) and measures 2,201 square feet. The proposed structure will occupy roughly 61.6 percent of the lot, with 1,298 square feet of footprint area and 58 square feet of balconies. The rear yard depth will measure 14-and-a-half feet wide, exceeding the minimum requirement, while the total building height will rise to 38 feet, the allowed district maximum.

Drawings show a narrow structure with a modern flat roofline and an integrated roof deck set back five feet from the street-facing parapet. Section drawings reveal stacked residential levels accessed by an interior stairwell rising to the roof level, where a pilot house opens onto an expansive deck. The design includes Juliet balconies on the second and third floors facing Miller Street and additional decks at the rear, providing both street engagement and private outdoor space.

Located in the heart of Port Richmond, the site lies within a dense block lined with two- and three-story rowhomes.
