Board approves recessed third‑floor balcony at 33 Hammond Street
Summary
The board granted Joyce and William Wood Bailey a special‑use permit to construct a recessed third‑floor balcony (approx. 10x14 ft, 4‑ft projection) after reviewing design, setbacks and abutter input; vote passed 4–1.
Joyce Wenzel Bailey told the board she wants to convert attic space with dormers and add a recessed third‑floor balcony to improve access and views. The project includes dormers to create living space and a balcony recessed under the eaves with an approximate 10‑by‑14‑foot footprint and a four‑foot projection.
Board members discussed compatibility with the streetscape; one member expressed concern about introducing a third‑floor street‑facing deck where none exist, while others praised the recessed design and matching materials. The motion to approve carried 4–1, with conditions typical for summary approvals including a 12‑month substantial completion requirement.
