P&Z Watch: Potentially High Bedroom Count Raises Life-Safety Concerns in Byram Residential Proposal

In the two 2-family units at 195 and 185 South Water Street, the proposed total number of bedrooms is 22 (6 bedrooms per unit in each of two units at 195 South Water Street, and 5 bedrooms in each of the two units at 185 South Water St) but the commission said the bedroom count might potentially rise to 24, given rooms labeled on the plans as playroom or office had closets, access to bathrooms and egress windows.
