Groton Historic District Commission - 9/1/26

The Groton Historic District Commission held a meeting on September 1, 2026, to review several applications related to properties within the historic district. Key procurement-related discussions included approvals for property modifications such as window replacements, additions, decks, and enclosures. Notably, the commission approved the removal of 21 High Meadow Lane from the historic district, allowing the owner to proceed with window replacements without further historic district oversight. Other approvals included a turret addition and deck at 20 Bank Street, new windows for a garage accessory dwelling unit at 14 West Mystic Avenue, and a garbage enclosure at 13 Gravel Street. The commission also conducted a pre-application review for a deck replacement at 85 Cliff Street, emphasizing the need to confirm property setbacks before proceeding. Motions to approve these applications were passed unanimously. The meeting concluded with approval of the August 18, 2026 minutes and no new business from staff.
