Heritage board grants Cabral breezeway permit delay
The board approved a breezeway permit for Manuel Cabral at 12 Magnolia St to connect his house and garage but faulted the Building Inspector’s handling. Cabral was advised to obtain two permits in two steps, though the structure sits closer to the lot line than allowed. The board noted a pattern of similar permissive decisions. Officials from Roger Williams College were told to proceed with renovations of barracks at Ferry Rd Nike site for dormitory use. A special session was set for August 4 to discuss a building addition. The Bristol Highlands Improvement Assn tennis court petition was withdrawn and Almeida and Sons plan postponed due to nonappearance.
