Deck Variance Granted for Pool Enclosure at 222 Lawrence Road

The Zoning Board of Appeals unanimously approved a variance for Catherine Quinn at 222 Lawrence Road to build a deck around an existing above-ground pool. The project will encroach 10.2 ft into the 50 ft rear setback requirement. The pool itself already encroaches into the setback. The variance is requested because the lot is irregularly shaped, and the pool is existing. The deck will extend three feet beyond the pool. The motion to approve was seconded and passed unanimously.
