The Brookfield fire marshal has signed off on an agreement between an affordable housing developer and the Zoning Commission, according to the Newstimes. Riaz Hussain sued last year after his application for 49 Federal Road was rejected. Commission members were initially concerned about the volunteer fire department's ability to access the building. The developer will include exterior stairs and an emergency exit landing on the second floor. The first floor already houses several businesses and the application calls for 9 apartments on the 2nd floor, with three considered affordable under the state's 8-30g law.
