Proposed use is for an 87 unit residential condominium building totaling 15 stories above grade; subterranean parking with 170 parking spaces.

Gary Morris represented the owner of this property and was seeking endorsement from HUNC for a variance on the height of fencing surrounding the property from the existing height of 8’4” to 8’ 6”.
