Board hears access and parking details for Cosby Street split; Griffith School maintenance drive provides potential backyard access

During discussion of the proposed split at 602/602.5 Cosby Street, staff pointed out that the north side of the house adjoins a parking lot and maintenance drive for Griffith School, which the transcript describes as a public right-of-way maintained by the city of Washington and usable to reach the rear of the property.

The applicant said the existing double-wide driveway would remain and that parking for the duplex portion could be provided by four spaces behind the unit; he also said he had contacted the post office and planned to use addressing with A/B suffixes (602 A and 602 B) once the survey and deed documents are recorded. The board treated access and parking as part of the record and tied final approval to filing the survey and deed documents.
