Historic Architectural Review Board Meeting · 2026-06-18 · agenda_item

A review is planned for 76 Abbott Street concerning building elevations for an application. The current finished floor elevation is 8.0 feet NAVD 1988, with a base flood elevation of 7 feet NAVD 1988. The property's minimum design flood elevation is 8 feet NAVD 1988. The project involves lifting the house, potentially for sill beam replacement and foundation work. The applicant needs to confirm if the house will be permanently raised or temporarily lifted. This review is early in the process, with staff recommendations pending. Work could involve site preparation, foundation repair, and potentially structural modifications to the house, front porch, and chimney. Contractors specializing in foundation repair, structural work, and potentially house lifting services could find opportunities. Engaging early allows businesses to understand the project scope before final plans and permits are issued.
