Conversion of existing garage into a backyard rental home sought in historic district
The applicant wants to turn a 480-square-foot garage into one accessory dwelling unit. The plan needs a variance and historic approval, which the Historic Preservation Commission must decide first. Parking would move to a surface space off the alley.
