Board approves front-yard setback variance for 19 George Street
Summary
The Board granted a variance for front-step relocation at 19 George Street after the applicant produced stamped plans and said the change was needed for a secondary egress.
The Malden Board of Appeals approved a variance for work at 19 George Street on May 21 after the applicant produced stamped plans confirming the project’s dimensions.
Petition 25-001 (filed by Peter Laden) sought relief from front-yard setback rules to allow reconstructed front steps, including a second egress for an in-law unit. Applicant Helena Leiden said the board had previously tabled the petition pending stamped plans and that those plans were now available.
Leiden told the board the new plans showed the front steps were not closer to the property line than before and that the work provides a second egress for an in-law unit. Member King moved to approve the petition; Member Catherine Bilgin seconded, and the board voted to grant the variance. The board clerk said a written decision will be mailed and that the formal decision period is 30 days.
