Zoning Board Of Appeals Public Hearing
The Zoning Board of Appeals held a hearing regarding two main applications. The first case involved a request for a continuance for a property on John Carver Road, which was approved. The second case focused on an application for a special permit and variance to demolish an existing structure and rebuild a two-family dwelling at 52 Salem Street. The board discussed the criteria for variance, the property's history, and the presence of historic elements, including murals painted by Rufus Porter. The Reading Historical Commission representative provided information on the property's significance, ongoing mitigation efforts, and the salvaging process of historic components before demolition.
