Two years ago, the Brundrett Family pitched a 68-foot-tall, mixed-use building that included restaurants, offices and a rooftop patio/bar but was shot down because it was too tall for the Heritage District.
The family is scheduled to come back before the Town this week with the same proposal – though this time with a proposed building that meets the 55-foot downtown height limit.
The Redevelopment Commission will hear the revised infill proposal at its study session July 19.
The family, which owns Norwood Furniture in the Heritage District, proposes its project for vacant land south of the southwest corner of Gilbert Road and Page Avenue, between the furniture store and the Farmhouse Restaurant.
The proposed building is four stories tall with the first floor reserved for restaurants, bars and cafés, the second and third floors for office use and the fourth floor being a rooftop patio/bar with a portion of the roof being enclosed to protect against inclement weather, according to a staff report.
