Board approves rear‑expansion and deck at 82 Clinton Street; requires inspection and IDSA‑compliant lighting
Summary
The Planning Board approved modest residential alterations at 82 Clinton Street, including a bedroom expansion and a back deck, with a condition that work receive inspectional sign‑offs and that exterior lighting not shine on abutters' properties.
The Chelsea Planning Board approved a petition to expand a bedroom and add a rear deck at 82 Clinton Street, subject to standard conditions and an added requirement that the petitioner obtain inspections and ensure exterior lighting does not shine onto abutters’ properties.
Krisha, speaking for her mother Maria (the property owner), described plans to expand a bedroom area and add a back deck while retaining a large laundry room. Board members asked about structural work and whether a licensed contractor would perform the work; the petitioner said her husband would do the work and is not a licensed contractor but agreed to follow required permit and inspection processes.
Board members encouraged the petitioner to follow Inspectional Services Department procedures and to submit required paperwork. The board added a condition requiring lighting to comply with IDSA standards and that lighting not shine directly onto abutting properties. The special permit was approved with those conditions and will be heard before the zoning board on Oct. 14.
