1022 Erato St.

Description: New construction of a 3,005 SF three-story, single-family residential building on a vacant lot.

Previous ARC Recommendations:

07/18/23: The ARC voted to recommend conceptual approval with the details to be worked out at the Staff level. The ARC agreed that:

• There should be a redistribution of windows at the primary elevation.

• Further exploration of the recessed language should be done.

• The AC units cannot be roof mounted.

• The roof leaders should be consolidated.

• Screening should be applied to the area underneath the stairs at the exterior of the building.

02/14/23: The ARC voted to recommend conceptual approval with the details to be worked out at the Staff level. The ARC agreed that:

• A roof pitch of 7:12 would be preferential and could be achieved by lowering exterior walls.

• A window should be added to the right side or the second story of the building.

• One over one windows should be used.

• A single step and landing should be added to the base of the front entry staircase with the column terminating at deck location.

12/20/22: The ARC voted to defer your application for additional review. The ARC agreed that:

• The 3 story massing is inappropriate in the context of the mixed use industrial and residential neighborhood.

• A shift of the 2 story massing from the rear of the building to the front may be more appropriate.

• The “postage stamp” lot seems to require a more modest building.

• The building should have a more industrial quality in materiality and a lower pitched roof.

• A perspective from Magazine Street is needed to understand the building in the context of the neighborhood.
