May 15, 2026

The Whiting Zoning Board of Adjustment approved a variance May 15 allowing a 28' x 28' carport to be sited about 28 feet from the centerline of Galvin Road, but required it either be moved east to align with the residence or reduced to 14' x 28' to reduce encroachment on the town highway right-of-way.
