Summary
Proposals for new two‑family houses at 28 and 30 Millington Street were discussed; the board adjourned both items and asked the applicants to provide full physical samples, product cut sheets, and clarifications about basement finishes and potential separate units before the board will act.
Two related applications to construct two‑family dwellings on Millington Street (28 and 30 Millington) were presented and then adjourned by the review board so staff and members can examine full physical samples and supporting cut sheets together. The applicants described two‑family, 3‑bedroom layouts on 5,250‑square‑foot lots (28 Millington was explicitly listed as a 5,250 sq ft lot), with front porches, shingle and board‑and‑batten siding and black metal railings; the presenters said they would bring material samples to the next meeting.
Board members raised a sequence of concerns that led to adjourning the items: several standard submittals were not present together (physical shingle and siding samples, window manufacturer product data, lighting cut sheets and planting lists), and the board asked for clarity on basement layouts because the basement showed a full bathroom and separate entrance that could be interpreted as an independent unit for zoning purposes. The board noted that a variance had been granted earlier in the process and reminded applicants to coordinate with the building and zoning departments on basement occupancy rules.
The chair and board members said they preferred seeing all samples in hand (shingles, windows, finishes) before making a determination; accordingly, members moved and seconded motions to adjourn both 28 and 30 Millington to the next meeting. No approvals were made at this session.
