SCITUATE — Design Review Committee provides detailed feedback on 7 New Driftway. Reviewing EMBR Architects' plans for an 18-unit apartment building at 7 New Driftway, the Design Review Committee called for significant exterior redesign, including scaled-down porch and columns, a broken-up roofline, and alternative materials for the end additions. The three-story project maintains the existing footprint with eight basement parking spaces but has no elevator; the Planning Board recommended including one for accessibility.
The committee also sought confirmation of an overhead garage door, a second means of egress to grade, detailed material specifications with manufacturer information, and reconsideration of HVAC mini-split placement to mitigate noise near windows.
