This document summarizes a request to encapsulate the existing street-facing facade and construct an addition to the front of a single-family residence located at 333 Rosemary. The addition would increase the lot coverage from 14.5% to 31% and floor area ratio from 14% to 31%. The Architectural Review Board recommended approving the request as the existing structure was found to have no historical significance and the addition was found to be compatible with the surrounding area.
