Zoning Board Approves Variance for Second Floor Addition at 60 Woodland Road
The Zoning Board of Appeals granted a Class C bulk variance for 60 Woodland Road. The applicant, Matthew Farricelli, sought to expand the second floor rear portion of his Cape Cod style home. The variance was needed due to the house's pre-existing non-conformance, and the proposed improvements would not exacerbate this condition. The board found the application to be simple and beneficial, with the addition not visible from the street. The application was approved unanimously.
Zoning Board Adjourns 39 Dewey Street Application for Re-Notice and Further Review
The Zoning Board of Appeals considered an application for variances for 39 Dewey Street. Due to changes in the plans and a lack of a planner's report and sufficient notice, the board decided to adjourn the case to July 2nd. The applicant will need to re-notice the neighbors and identify all variances sought. The meeting was adjourned with a voice vote.
470 Essex Avenue Application Adjourned to August Due to Insufficient Voting Members
The Zoning Board of Appeals considered an application for 470 Essex Avenue, seeking Class C variance relief for side yard setbacks and building coverage, and a D4 variance for floor area ratio. Due to having only five voting members present, which is insufficient for the D4 FAR variance requiring five affirmative votes, the applicants chose to adjourn the case. They requested adjournment to August 6th, as they would not be available for the July 2nd meeting. The board granted the adjournment, noting that no new notice would be provided beyond the current meeting's notification.
