HRB approves legalization of existing retaining wall at 104 Northfield Avenue
Summary
The HRB waived site plan review and approved an application to legalize an existing retaining wall and replace a stone patio at 104 Northfield Avenue, with a resolution referencing the updated site plan sheet dated 05/05/2026 and minor contour corrections requested by building staff.
The Architectural and Historic Review Board approved a request to legalize an existing retaining wall and to replace a stone patio at 104 Northfield Avenue. The building department raised only a minor drafting comment about contour lines on adjoining property that the applicant agreed to correct on the final set of drawings submitted for permit.
The board waived formal site‑plan review for this minor exterior work, found the project consistent with HRB standards, and adopted a resolution approving the application subject to standard conditions and a revised site plan sheet dated 05/05/2026. The applicant (addressed in the record as Carlos) was instructed to correct the contour depiction and submit the corrected plan set to the building department as part of permitting.
The board then moved, seconded and voted in favor of the resolution.
