Peabody zoning board approves homeowner's rear addition attached to garage
Summary
The Peabody Zoning Board approved a homeowner's request to add a 10-by-36-foot rear addition plus a 6-by-6-foot mudroom connecting to the garage after finding the proposal does not expand existing driveway-side setbacks.
The Peabody Zoning Board on July 21 approved an application to add a 10-foot by 36-foot addition at the rear of a dwelling and a 6-foot by 6-foot mudroom to connect the house to its garage.
The applicant told the board the addition would be attached to the house and would provide access to the basement; the board confirmed the work would extend back into the yard and would not encroach further on the driveway-side setbacks. A board member who reviewed the plans said the proposal appeared "commensurate with the rest of the neighborhood."
Board members heard no public opposition at the hearing. The board closed the public hearing, voted on the matter and approved the project. Roll-call votes recorded "yes" from Mister Slattery, Mister Gilbert, Mister O'Brien, Mister Osborn, and Miss Gallucci.
The board also accepted minutes for its May 19 meeting and noted its next scheduled meeting date. No additional conditions or appeals were announced at the meeting.
Less central details discussed during the item included whether the petitioner needed to be present for approval; board members confirmed there was no requirement that the petitioner attend in person and that the board could review and approve based on submitted plans.
