Peabody ZBA approves smaller pool‑house plan at 13 Eisenhower Road after applicant scales back
Summary
Applicants for 13 Eisenhower Road withdrew a larger pool cabana and won approval for a scaled‑back outdoor bathroom/storage structure and setback variances.
The Peabody Zoning Board of Appeals approved a revised plan for 13 Eisenhower Road on June 10 after the owners reduced the scale of a proposed pool cabana and emphasized a smaller enclosed outdoor bathroom and storage area.
Applicants Eric Cosentino and Stefana Mullen told the board they replaced a larger pool‑house concept with a 16‑by‑10 enclosed bathroom/storage area and asked for a 6‑by‑6 setback relief to allow the structure closer to the property line. The applicants said they preferred to build the enclosed bathroom rather than a reduced version of their original plan.
Board members thanked the applicants for working with staff. No members of the public spoke in opposition, and the board moved to close the public hearing and approve the request. Roll call recorded yes votes from members Slattery, Gilbert, O’Brien and Galucci; Mr. Osborne voted no, producing a four‑to‑one approval.
Why it matters: the approval allows the homeowners to add a functional pool amenity and storage with reduced setbacks; the board explicitly recorded the approval and conditions are standard building‑department review and permits.
Details: the applicants indicated the bathroom/storage structure would serve the pool and that the remainder of the pool‑area plans would be subject to building‑department review. The board did not include special conditions beyond normal permitting.
