South Boston: 567-567R E Sixth Street Abutters Meeting

Demolish existing 1-story garage on separate permit and erect a new 3-story, 5-unit residential building with balconies and off-street parking.

Revised proposal: Updated the plans to show the existing driveway on the right side of the property. Moved the building to provide a 3-foot setback from the left side property line at the front of the lot, eliminating the need for side yard zoning relief.
