Board grants special permit for three‑bedroom dwelling above garage in business zone on Loom Pond Road
Summary
Aaron and Sherry Paquin received a special permit to build a three‑bedroom dwelling above a garage in a business‑zoned parcel on Loom Pond Road; conservation and health boards raised no objections pending normal reviews.
The Lakeville Zoning Board of Appeals on June 12 granted a special permit allowing a three‑bedroom dwelling above a garage at a property in the business district on Loom Pond Road, filed by Aaron and Sherry Paquin.
Attorney Craig Gutierrez, representing the Paquins, told the board the lot is residential in character despite its business zoning and that the proposal meets dimensional requirements in the Lakeville zoning bylaw: frontage, lot area and setbacks. The Paquins said the first floor would be garage space used in part for agricultural equipment and that the upstairs would be living area for family occupancy.
The conservation commission provided a memo noting that part of the proposed driveway is within the 100‑foot buffer of a wetland resource and that a notice of intent is currently before the conservation commission; the commission said any impacts will be addressed in its deliberations. The Board of Health submitted a memo raising no objections provided the dwelling will not create health‑department issues. After brief discussion and no public opposition at the hearing, the board approved the special permit.
The chair reminded the applicants of the standard post‑decision filing steps and the conservation commission's role in conditioning any wetland impacts.
