Residents who want to comment on a controversial proposal to build an addition behind 344 Nassau Street in Jugtown will have to wait until mid-May.

The agenda item on the Monday, April 15 meeting of the Historic Preservation Commission (HPC) was removed late Friday afternoon by the applicant, RB Homes, confirmed Elizabeth Kim, the HPC’s historic preservation officer. A second meeting which had been called for Tuesday, April 16, to hear comments that could not be heard Monday, was canceled.

Two dates were set for the new meetings, May 13 and 14 at 5 p.m. at Witherspoon Hall, 400 Witherspoon Street.

A meeting did take place Monday, April 15, and was livestreamed, but without the Jugtown proposal on the agenda. It was noted that RB Homes is making some adjustments to the application, but no details were given.

The postponed meeting is a Special Meeting, because the regular May meeting agenda is full, according to the HPC. The entire meeting will be devoted to the Jugtown application, which encompasses a proposal to add a four-story, 15-unit addition, including three affordable units, behind two, two-story 1760s buildings at 344 Nassau Street.
