Timeline

Jun 2, 2026
Zoning Board
  • Approved 5-0 for area variance to convert one-family to two-family dwelling
  • Variances granted: FAR (0.46 vs. 0.4 max), lot area per dwelling unit (332.5 sq ft vs. 3,500 min), side yard setback (2.8 ft vs. 6 ft min)
  • Applicant to legalize front porch enclosure and existing conditions
  • Parking layout modified: one space to be repositioned 90 degrees perpendicular to back of house (recommendation to planning board)
  • Neighboring analysis submitted showing three adjacent properties similarly non-conforming; two-family conversion consistent with neighborhood density

Next steps

Sentiment

8 /10

From Zoning Board · Jun 2, 2026

  • Board supportive; approver cited minimal variances, appropriate zone designation (R2-7), and consistency with neighborhood character
  • Board member emphasized dense neighborhood context and existing non-conformities already present (e.g., garage setback); no adverse environmental effect anticipated
  • Parking layout refined collaboratively; board recommended perpendicular space repositioning to reduce congestion concerns raised in prior applications
