Developer Timothy Woodland appeared remotely.
The City Council gave its okay last night to a special permit creating five apartments in an existing building near downtown Haverhill.
The property, located at 149-153 Washington St., was recently purchased by Timothy Woodland with the idea of converting the building into five residential units. Currently, the building, which was constructed around 1900, consists of two residential units on the second floor and an unused commercial space on the first floor. Developer Timothy Woodland described his plans for the building.
“The plan is for the three residential units on the bottom floor. One of them is going to be a two-bedroom, one of them would be a one-bedroom and the last one would be a studio. The second floor is split down the middle from front to back. Each of them is a two-bedroom,” said Woodland.

Architect’s rendering of three proposed condominium buildings.
Clarification: The story has been updated to note that while the developer agreed to reduce the number of units to 45, the City Council did not include the revised total in its vote.
The third try was a charm for plans to build three waterfront condominium buildings on the Merrimack River in Bradford.
The Haverhill City Council, last night, voted to approve construction of what ultimately was 48 condominiums by developer Ernest Cioto on a 1.4-acre property located at 38 Railroad St. At one point, the developer agreed to drop one unit from each building for a total of 45 units, but councilors did not make the amendment. Chris Crump, one of the project’s architects, described the plans.

Bevilacqua asked for action Tuesday night after showing photographs of downtown Washington Street, depicting inadequately cleared walkways several days after our most recent snowstorm. “My concern is that we need to have […]

HAVERHILL â For drivers who struggle to figure out what time of day paid parking is in effect on downtown streets and lots, the confusion is about to end.
Following last week s approval of an increase in the hourly fee for downtown parking, the City Council this week approved another change intended to bring consistency to the parking program and reduce confusion among drivers.
Once in place, paid parking hours on downtown streets and in city lots will be from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. on weekdays for more consistency. Currently, on-street paid parking is from 3 to 8 p.m. on Washington Street and from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. in downtown city lots. Saturdays, which formerly had free parking, are now included in the paid parking plan.
