After requiring exclusive parking spaces for customers, the Zoning Board of Appeals finally approved the Taiwanese restaurant set to replace Mighty Subs. Another case that occupied a significant portion of the board’s time involved an appeal filed by neighbors against a building permit for a two-family residence on Manning Street. They argued that the plans did not comply with zoning regulations for a non-conforming lot. The Building Commissioner, who was absent, requested a continuance of the hearing, which was granted by the board. The meeting is currently available for viewing in the window below:

Case #5 – 0 Colgate Road
Patricia M. Connolly, appellant, has appealed a decision of a Building Inspector (ABID) dated December 2, 2024 who determined that the property “appears to “front” on private property and therefore does not have adequate frontage along a public or private way as defined in the Zoning By-Law.” The ABID asserts that the vacant lot has 95 feet of frontage on a private paved way which satisfies the minimum frontage of 80 feet for parcels in the Single-Residence B.
