Homeowners seek to double garage size in historic district to fit two cars and a boat
The plan would enlarge a one-car garage from about 12 by 20 feet to 24 by 32 feet, with storage above. It needs a variance because it extends into the rear setback. The application is in neighborhood meeting review before the Historic Preservation Commission.
