Zoning board continues request to add third story at 1427 Quincy Shore Drive to March 11
Summary
The Quincy Zoning Board of Appeals continued a petition by Aaron Toski to alter a two-story residence at 1427 Quincy Shore Drive to allow a third story (master suite), asking the applicant to submit revised drawings showing a 2 1/2-story design with dormers; the matter was continued to March 11, 2025.
The Quincy Zoning Board of Appeals continued a petition Feb. 25 from Aaron Toski (petition listed as Aaron Toski Toska in the record) seeking a variance to change a two-story residence into a three-story structure at 1427 Quincy Shore Drive. The board asked the applicant to submit revised elevations that convert the design to a 2 1/2-story house with dormers and rescheduled the matter to March 11, 2025.
Chairman Marty Akins reviewed the application and said that the structure as presented appeared to be a full three-story house, which is not allowed in Residence A zoning. He advised the petitioner to modify the roofline to create a 2 1/2-story appearance, recommending “two dormers in the front, maybe two dormers on the back,” and to work with Inspectional Services staff for guidance. Akins said the applicant would not need to restart the application process but must provide new elevation drawings for board review.
The applicant confirmed he could produce new drawings promptly, and the board agreed to continue the hearing to the March 11 meeting so staff can receive updated plans a week in advance. The board made and seconded a motion to continue the item; the motion carried on a voice vote.
No formal vote on the zoning variance was taken; the board’s direction was to provide revised plans addressing the roofline and attic-use concerns so the board can re-evaluate compliance with Residence A restrictions at the continued hearing.
