Zoning board tells applicant at 1427 Quincy Shore Drive to redraw to 2½-story and continues hearing
Summary
The Quincy ZBA continued a petition seeking a third story at 1427 Quincy Shore Drive to March 11, 2025, and the chairman advised the applicant to resubmit drawings showing a 2½-story design with dormers.
The Quincy City Zoning Board of Appeals on Feb. 25 continued a petition (ZBA 25-1) from an unnamed applicant seeking a variance to change a two-story house into a three-story structure at 1427 Quincy Shore Drive.
Chairman Marty Akins reviewed the application with the applicant on the record and advised redesigning the roof so the house reads as two-and-a-half stories, adding dormers to gain attic use without creating a full third story. Akins told the applicant to work with the head of Inspectional Services, Mr. Conlon, and to submit new elevation drawings to the clerk at least one week before the board’s next meeting.
On a motion by board member Mr. Cameron, seconded by Vice Chairman Mr. Chin, the board voted unanimously to continue the matter to March 11, 2025. The transcript records the chairman describing the existing upper level as a “regular 3 story house” and urging the applicant to “make it a 2 and a half story house, and then put 2 dormers on the front, maybe 2 dormers on the back.” The applicant said revised drawings could be ready “by tomorrow,” and the chairman instructed that the revised elevations must be in the clerk’s hands a week before the March 11 meeting.
No formal vote on the variance was taken; the board’s action was limited to continuing the hearing and directing the applicant to return with revised drawings for review.
