The approved scope of work calls for the erection of a three-story wood-frame building over reinforced concrete foundations, to be used as a single-family dwelling. The structure will include a cellar level and a walk-on roof deck accessed by a pilot house. The building is required to be fully sprinklered in accordance with NFPA 13D standards, with mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and excavation work included under the primary permit.

Zoning permits for the site classify the property under RSA-5 (Residential Single-Family Attached), with approval granted for single-family household living. The zoning approval authorizes the construction of an attached building with a roof deck and roof access structure, as shown in the approved plans. The project does not include any multi-family or mixed-use component.
Site plans indicate a total lot area of 681.18 square feet. The proposed building footprint measures 510.18 square feet, accounting for approximately 74.9 percent lot coverage, while 171 square feet, or 25.1 percent, is designated as open space. The rear yard depth is proposed at 12 feet, exceeding the minimum requirement of 9 feet. The structure is designed to rise to a height of 37 feet, below the maximum allowable height of 38 feet.
Drawings depict a vertically stacked layout consisting of a cellar, three above-grade floors, and a roof level. The roof deck is set above the third floor and paired with a pilot house limited to a maximum of 10 feet above the roof surface. Additional elements shown in the plans include a rear yard, perimeter fencing, and a front-facing egress well along South Taylor Street.
The project introduces a new attached residential structure on a block characterized by similar rowhouse development.
