This document provides information for a request to remodel an existing duplex at 312 Argo Ave into a single-family residence. It would demolish over 75% of the existing roof and over 67% of exterior walls. The remodel would increase the lot coverage from 27% to 38% and floor area ratio from 26% to 45%. The Architectural Review Board recommended approval with conditions to screen air conditioning units. Nearby property owners were notified and five responded in support and none in opposition.
