BoardGardner Zoning Board of Appeals Meeting
The meeting addressed two cases involving variance and special permit requests. The first case involved a residential property at 623 West Street, where the contractor requested a variance for setback relief to accommodate a farmer's porch. The discussion focused on the property's tapered shape, wetland buffer zone requirements, and the specific 3-foot relief needed for the porch construction, with considerations regarding potential roof drip line implications for zoning compliance. The second case concerned a special permit for a property at 172 Park Street to construct a pre-existing nonconforming structure as a three-family dwelling.
