It was an unexpectedly quick hearing for the Zoning Board, but the evening had a slow start, as posted start times kept members waiting for the appropriate time to begin. Once started, though, the case at hand had logic, pre-existing conditions, and good neighbor relations all working for the homeowners. The meeting is currently available for viewing in the window below:
Regarding an appeal of 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.
Case #2 – 282 Warren Street
Application for a Variance to allow the divestment of a five-foot strip of land to the abutting property at 73 Pleasant Street. This divestment would make 282 Warren Street, currently a conforming lot, into a non-conforming lot with a build Factor of 26.69 where a build factor of 20 or less is required.
Case #3 – 76 Fair Oaks Park
Owners have applied for a Special Permit to allow the extension, alteration, and enlargement of the lawful, pre-existing non-conforming single-family pursuant to Section 1.4.6. The relief sought would allow the total length of the left side wall on the second floor from 43’1” to 55’3/4”.
