Zoning Board
  • Adjourned – Applicant requested and board granted continuation to allow negotiation with neighbors
  • Proposed 2-story addition (1,500 sq ft) to replace existing 1-car garage (300 sq ft) at rear; garage demolition cited as mitigation for substantial variance
  • Rear yard setback variance: 30 feet required to 10 feet proposed (66% variance); rock/ledge removal via finger excavation planned; driveway relocated for safety and sight lines

From Zoning Board · Jun 2, 2026

  • Neighbor Hillary J. (27 Springdale Rd) strongly opposed, citing detriment to property value, light/air, privacy, and structural risk from rock removal; characterized variance as inconsistent with code intent
  • Board acknowledged substantial variance (chair: 'pretty big variance') but receptive to negotiated design reduction; one board member eager to see compromise proposal
  • Applicant pragmatic, acknowledging variance needed regardless of yard configuration and expressing willingness to work with neighbors on bulk reduction
