Zoning Meeting
Published: Jul 7, 2026
108 Pengilly Drive Variances Approved for Fencing and Decks
The zoning board approved an application for variances at 108 Pengilly Drive to legalize existing decks and a patio, and to maintain a six-foot high fence in the front yard. The property has a unique 'island' configuration with three front yards. The applicant needed variances for the fence height (six feet requested vs. four feet permitted in the front yard) and for deck setbacks (lower deck front yard setback of 12.75 feet requested vs. 25 feet required, and side yard setbacks of 2.75 feet and 7 feet requested vs. 12 feet required). The board noted the substantial nature of some variances but approved the application, citing the property's unique geometry, existing similar fences on neighboring properties, and the need to address increased traffic noise and privacy concerns from Weaver Street. The applicant also agreed to adjust the fence to improve visibility at the intersection.
40 Beach Road Addition Application Adjourned After Neighbor Concerns
The zoning board heard an application for an addition to a single-family home at 40 Beach Road. The applicant sought variances for a proposed garage and second-story suite addition, requesting a 12-foot side yard setback variance where 8 feet is typically allowed for an interior lot, and a variance for the rear yard setback. The applicant revised the proposal from a previous meeting to move the addition six feet further from the neighbor and reduce the building's width by two feet to address neighbor concerns about the view corridor. The opposition argued that the variance was substantial and would negatively impact their property value and quality of life. After discussion, the applicant requested to adjourn the application to the next meeting to consider the board's feedback.
22 Dearborn Street Garage Variance Application Adjourned for Revised Plans
The zoning board reviewed an application for variances to construct a new two-car garage and legalize a stair at 22 Dearborn Street. The existing 105-year-old garage is dilapidated and needs replacement. The applicant requested three variances for the garage: side yard, front yard, and percentage of lot footprint, with the footprint variance being the most substantial at 12% over the allowed limit. They also requested a variance for a new stair adjacent to the house, which is currently three feet off the property line (six feet is required). The board discussed minimizing variances, and the applicant agreed to shift the proposed garage to meet a six-foot side yard setback, thus eliminating one variance. The application was adjourned to allow for revised plans reflecting this change.
