Board grants modification at 624 Oldfield Avenue to raise porch/foyer elevation
Summary
The zoning board approved a modification to a prior approval at 624 Oldfield Avenue to raise the front foyer by approximately 16 inches to align interior floors discovered during construction; the change does not add second‑floor living area, the applicant said.
The board approved a requested modification at 624 Oldfield Avenue (application materials referenced plans dated 05/29/2026) to raise the front foyer elevation by approximately 16—6 inches to match the interior floor levels encountered during construction. The applicant explained the change was necessary to align finished floors and does not create additional second‑floor usable square footage.
A project witness explained the technical reason for the raise: the existing porch grade and step conditions required raising the foyer to meet the first‑floor level, not to add a second story. The board reviewed the submitted exhibit drawings and, after a short discussion of finishes and matching materials, moved to approve the modification; the motion passed by recorded voice on the record and will be memorialized for permitting.
