Planning board recommends approval for revised single-family design at 18–24 Grandview (1824 Granville Road)
Summary
The board recommended approval to the zoning board for a revised single‑family design replacing a previous two‑family plan at 18–24 Grandview; petitioners reduced requested variances from six to three and confirmed compliance with parking.
Petitioners for 1824 Granville Road presented a revised design converting a previously proposed two-family concept to a single-family structure and received the planning board’s recommendation to forward the required variances to the Zoning Board of Appeal.
Rebecca Edmonson (representing the petitioner) and architect Adam described the project as two reconstructed lots with a proposed single-family home similar in scale to neighboring houses. The team said the proposal reduced the number of variances from six to three by bringing coverage and side-yard dimensions into compliance; the outstanding relief sought included frontage and lot-size variances tied to the lot’s historic subdivision.
Presenters noted the design includes an underground garage with two spaces and a stormwater management plan. The applicant said the revised design is more consistent with neighboring 1940s-era homes and that they had circulated plans to adjacent neighbors for review.
After discussion, the board voted to recommend approval to the Zoning Board of Appeal subject to standard conditions: submission of landscape and lighting plans, dark-sky/compliant exterior lighting, a rodent-control plan, and provision of unit address information to the Department of Permitting and Land Use prior to occupancy. The motion carried with recorded abstentions; the application will proceed to the Zoning Board schedule for final variances.
