Title
Special Certificate of Appropriateness for 305 Overbrook Drive
Summary:
In order to complete any renovations over $25,000 to the exterior of a locally-recognized historic property, a Special Certificate of Appropriateness (SCOA) must first be granted by the Historic Preservation Board and the Commission to the property owner in question. The property under discussion for this proposed certificate is 305 Overbrook Drive, which is currently owned by Mr. Jason Stanton and Mrs. Amy Stanton.
The Commission will now review the application, plans, and other specifications presented by the Town, by the Town's planning agency (Calvin, Giordano & Associates), and by Mr. and Mrs. Stanton, and will vote to approve or deny the certificate.
It is important to note that approval of this SCOA is being submitted to the Town alongside a variance request due to the front-yard setback of the property. The approval of this SCOA will hence be conditional upon the Commission's decision on the variance. Denial of the variance will nullify this SCOA application.
