Mr. Long also expressed his appreciation of Hudson Building Codes including the diversity of homes and the prohibition of front facing garages, however, in this neighborhood front facing garages are common. The Board, applicant and staff discussed: If a rear entry garage was considered - which is a possibility, however, the financial burden is significant as well as the loss of the backyard space, the number of houses with front facing garages in the neighborhood, the extenuating circumstances of this situation, the difficulties presented by a detached garage with wheelchair access into the house, whether the circumstances are significant enough to violate the LDC, that the difficulties of using a rear entrance may be the compelling reason for allowing the front facing garage, that the unique situation warrants the exception, and the possibility of a more decorative garage door - which the AHBR would prefer. Also discussed was whether this is a wing house or an intersecting mass house, Mr . Long presented his opinion that this is an intersecting mass house which will not violate the LDC . The Board stated that if the front facing door is permitted this will be a moot issue. Chair Caputo noted he sensed no strong opposition from the Board for allowing the front facing garage door.
