ZBA approves two minor modifications; several cases continued to Planning Board
Summary
At its March 11 meeting the Chelsea Zoning Board of Appeals deemed two modification requests minor and approved them; three active cases were continued to Planning Board review dates and returned to ZBA on April/May dates as specified.
The Chelsea Zoning Board of Appeals on March 11 voted to treat two pending modification requests as minor modifications and approved the changes, and it moved several new applications to Planning Board review dates.
The board found the modification to the 1986 decision affecting 751–753 Broadway and 801 Broadway to be a minor modification and approved the requested change; the board noted the underlying violation dated to 1988 and that statutory appeal periods had lapsed. The board also approved a requested modification to reconfigure office and living area at properties on Fifth Street (case referenced by the board at the hearing) as a minor modification.
Procedural motions moved several pending cases to future hearings: two cases (identified on the agenda as 22024 and 202425) were moved to the April meeting; case 202426 was moved to the May meeting. The board held voice votes to refer other active applications (for example, 8284 Marlborough Street and the Grandview Road matter) to the Planning Board for review on March 25, with ZBA continuations scheduled for April 8. There was a final motion to adjourn that carried by voice vote.
The board did not record roll‑call vote tallies in the transcript for these motions; minutes show unanimous voice approval at the March 11 meeting. No appeals or further enforcement actions were taken at that meeting.
