Zoning board approves larger accessory garage for Pernick family at 6 Village Road
Summary
The Zoning Board granted a special permit allowing a 1,444 sq. ft. accessory structure to store antique cars at 6 Village Road; the Board of Health and Conservation Commission submitted no objections.
The Lakeville Zoning Board of Appeals on June 12 approved a special permit for Nicholas and Anita Pernick to construct a 1,444‑square‑foot accessory structure at 6 Village Road to store family antique cars.
Applicant Nicholas Pernick told the board he sought storage for cars his family planned to pass to his sons; he described the vehicles as having ‘‘strong sentimental value’’ and said the structure would not include water or sewer connections. The Board of Health submitted a May 30 memo stating it had no objection provided the structure has no water or sewer connections and is not used as a dwelling. The conservation commission reviewed the petition and reported no wetland resources on the property.
Board members reviewed existing site plans and confirmed the proposed work would attach to an existing garage, resulting in a single enlarged structure. One member noted the town’s recent bylaw changes limiting accessory structure size and observed the board has seen similar petitions recently. A member also disclosed a connection to the subdivision’s original survey plan but said there was no vested financial interest.
After limited discussion and one vote against, the board approved the special permit and outlined the usual post‑decision filing steps: file with the town clerk within 14 days and observe the 20‑day appeal period before registry filing.
