Rooftop‑deck permit approved for 134–136 Spring St after HDC review and setback condition
Summary
The zoning board approved a 193‑sq‑ft rooftop deck for the Spring Street renovation, requiring a 6‑foot setback from the street and a condition that the deck not be enclosed.
AONE Roofing & Construction sought a category‑6 special‑use permit to place a 193‑sq‑ft rooftop deck atop a one‑story addition at 134–136 Spring Street. The applicant said HDC negotiations required the deck to stop 6 feet from the Spring Street edge so it would not visually overhang the street. The board confirmed the deck is 11.17 by about 17.5 feet (roughly 193 sq ft) and adopted a condition that it not be enclosed.
Board members noted the prevalence of decks within a 200‑foot radius in the downtown area and the HDC’s design constraints. The motion passed unanimously; conditions include submission of outstanding public‑notice fees and a requirement that the deck remain unenclosed and set back 6 feet from the street edge.
