Timeline

May 7, 2026
Zoning Board of Appeals
  • Hearing adjourned without vote — applicants to return in June with formal landscape plan
  • Board conditionally supportive of 6-foot fence on busy Purchase Street for privacy/safety, but requires professional landscape architect plan before approval
  • Key concern: total height from street level (potentially 9 feet if fence placed on 3-foot stone wall) and visual impact; applicants to clarify fence placement and provide evergreen buffering plan
  • Four support letters from neighbors (609, 600, 612 Purchase St); one neighbor (605 Purchase St, Ronald Matasian) opposed, citing neighborhood character and potential 9-foot total wall height
  • Applicants encouraged to consult with neighbors before resubmission

Next steps

  • Applicants to hire landscape architect and submit formal landscape plan with evergreen buffering specifications by June meeting
  • Resubmit with clarification on fence placement (on or behind stone wall) and total height measurement from street level
  • Hearing reconvenes June 2026 (date not specified in transcript) for continued review
  • Board encourages applicants and neighbor (Ronald Matasian) to communicate cooperatively before resubmission

Sentiment

6 /10

From Zoning Board of Appeals · May 7, 2026

  • Board majority supportive in principle; Chair and board members acknowledge legitimate privacy/noise concerns on high-traffic street and prior approvals of similar fences, but want professional landscaping plan before voting
  • Neighbor Ronald Matasian (605 Purchase St) strongly opposed, concerned about cumulative wall-plus-fence height (9 feet), neighborhood open character, and property values; applicants' immediate neighbors supportive per submitted letters
