ZBA approves second floor over existing footprint at 155 Hillside Avenue for family accessibility
Summary
The board granted a variance to permit a second-floor addition over an existing single-story portion at 155 Hillside Avenue so the owner can enlarge living space to accommodate family and accessibility needs.
The Zoning Board of Appeals voted June 10 to grant the requested side-yard setback variance to allow a second-floor addition over an existing single-story section at 155 Hillside Avenue.
Applicant Raymond Maranti told the board the lot is narrow and that enlarging the upstairs area will allow the family to live on-site with the applicant—s elderly mother, including room for an accessible bathroom and an aide. Design consultant James (no last name given on record) said the work will keep the same footprint and add a full second floor to the single-story portion.
Board action: Members found the property—s irregular lot shape and narrower rear dimension support the requested relief and approved the variance. The motion passed by recorded vote; the applicant may now proceed with permit applications and design details for an accessible interior layout.
The board recorded no additional conditions at the June 10 meeting.
