Six-unit residential cluster development

Description

The Burgess family wants to replace two modest homes with six three-story cluster units (a four-unit and a duplex) with rooftop decks, in an RD-15 district where the density is allowed by right. Approved 5-4 over flooding and compatibility objections.

Impact summary

Six new homes on a flooding street — residents fear more runoff and 18 trash cans on pickup days; the developer says water stays on site and trees planted exceed code.
