Board grants variance for 4-season sunroom at 3 Sheffield Drive
Summary
A rear-yard variance was approved for a proposed four-season sunroom at 3 Sheffield Drive; the board cited the irregular pie-shaped lot as the primary hardship supporting the request.
The Peabody City Zoning Board of Appeals voted to grant a variance allowing a four-season sunroom to be built closer to the rear property line than allowed at 3 Sheffield Drive.
Applicant Jonathan Lapham said the property’s odd, pie-shaped lot prevents meeting the 35-foot rear-yard requirement; he requested relief to allow a 24.7-foot rear-yard setback. A board member noted the lot shape counts as a traditional zoning hardship and there were no speakers in opposition. The board closed the public hearing and approved the variance by roll-call vote.
The chair reminded the applicant that, as with all variances, the written decision would be filed with the city clerk and subject to the normal appeal period.
No conditions beyond standard filing and permitting were recorded in the transcript.
