Your feedback helps us prioritize what to improve next.
The 58 Cottage Street project can move forward through the historic review process, but the applicants must address staircase visibility, adjust the Wildwood Circle-facing door and window, coordinate exterior finishes, and make the garage and main house windows the same color within two years. The 28 Cottage Street proposal to enlarge the front stoop, replace windows, and add a French door was not decided because the commission needs additional information about the steps and railings. Approval of the February 3, 2026 meeting minutes was also postponed.
