Agenda Item #8 - Project 20240054 – 128/132 Washington Garage demolition and
construction
I am pleased to have a new neighbor, Lori Sames, who is engaged in cleaning up and
enhancing the long neglected 128/132 Washington Street structures and properties. I have
reviewed the renovation and new construction plans submitted by SD Atelier and wish the
Design Review Board (DRB) to take the proximity and home alignment of the Dublin Square
townhomes into account during their review.
Specifically, the backyards of 1 Dublin Square Lane, 3 Dublin Square Lane and 5 Dublin Square
Lane townhomes which share a property line with 128 Washinton Street. The Dublin Square
units have a small 8-foot backyard which face the east side yard of the proposed Unit #2.
Therefore, maximizing the new construction setback is desirable to the DS homeowners
,especially the two interior units, since natural light will most likely be reduced by the proposed
new construction.
Regards, Eileen Scheier
