Zoning board grants variance for front breezeway at 11 Jennings Circle in Peabody
Summary
The Peabody Zoning Board approved a variance for a front breezeway at 11 Jennings Circle, reducing the required front-yard setback from 25 feet to 18 feet; the petitioner was not present and the board approved the application in absentia after reviewing submitted plans.
The Peabody Zoning Board voted July 21 to grant a variance for a front breezeway at 11 Jennings Circle, allowing a front-yard setback of 18 feet where the R-1 zoning district requires 25 feet.
The application, filed by Michael DiFrancesco, requested seven feet of relief from the front-yard setback. A board member who reviewed the submitted plans said, after inspecting the materials, that "the application seems to be in order" and recommended approval in the petitioner's absence. The board noted there were no residents present to speak in opposition.
Board members voted to close the public hearing and approve the variance. Roll-call votes recorded "yes" from Mister Slattery, Mister Gilbert, Mister O'Brien, Mister Osman, and Miss Gallucci.
The board confirmed it can review and act on properly filed applications even if the petitioner is not present, provided the plans and supporting materials are sufficient for review. No appeal or condition was announced on the record at the hearing.
The property was identified as being in the R-1 zoning district in Peabody; the application as read into the record described the requested front-yard relief and the address of the property.
