Plans are awaiting the Town Council’s decision and “go
ahead” for luxury townhouses to be built at 215 Brazilian Avenue, currently a
vacant lot of .75 acres. Architectural
style will be French Chateau. Plans call
for four homes and eight underground parking spaces. Architect Harold Smith is the designer.
Concerns had developed regarding drainage systems, chimneys
imposing on neighbors’ views, and additional tall landscaping to screen the
roofline, and the impending owner (purchase is contingent on Town Council
approval) has agreed to revise drainage and modify or eliminate chimneys. A variance needs to allow horizontal
overlapping between individual dwelling units and to release owner from having
to provide a 20’ wide emergency access to the property’s interiors. Decision might be made at Town Council’s
meeting next month.
