No appeals were received during the 20-day window after the decision was filed at Town Hall.
The plan, first unveiled for the townâs Historic District Commission in November 2019, has cleared all legal hurdles. A lawsuit against the Winstanleys and the Zoning Board of Appeals filed last February by local architect Jim Harwood has been withdrawn.
The project calls for renovation of the 1790 Northrup House, formerly the site of the now-closed Winstanley Associates marketing firm, and the construction of three new buildings on the 3.26-acre property at 114 Main St.
The ZBA first approved a site plan and special permit in January 2020, but it had to revisit it and issue a final decision under an order from Berkshire Superior Court in response to the original Harwood appeal.
LENOX â The Zoning Board of Appeals has flashed a second green light for a mixed-use, downtown development project.
The board, which was under a Berkshire Superior Court order to review its previous decision, voted unanimously Wednesday night to reaffirm its previous special permit granted last January for Nathan and Kathryn Winstanleyâs Windrose complex at 114 Main St.
The project, estimated at between $15 million and $20 million, includes renovation of the 1790 Northrup House and the construction of three new buildings featuring 26 high-end condos on the 3.26-acre property. One of them would house several street-level businesses or offices.
Local architect Jim Harwoodâs lawsuit against the board and the town appealing the ZBAâs original approval of the plan remains in the hands of Superior Court Judge Douglas Wilkins.
