Demolition approved at 266 Nobscussett; replacement design adjusted after neighbor input
Summary
Commission approved a demolition at 266 Nobscussett and later approved a revised new-house design after the architects said neighbors' concerns led to reorienting a screened porch and lowering a roof on the neighbor side.
Alex Higgins (speaker 12) and architect Doreev Nikolaev (speaker 11) presented the project at 266 Nobscussett Road. Higgins told the commission the demolition application was for an existing single-family house and that it "is not on the historic register nor is it a historic home." The board voted to approve the demolition application.
At the subsequent new-construction presentation, Nikolaev said the design was changed "based on conversations with neighbors" — notably rotating a screened porch to preserve neighbors' views and adjusting the rear roofline. Commissioners praised the applicant for working with neighbors and approved the revised new-house design as submitted.
