Zoning board approves single-family dwelling above garage in business district for Paquin family
Summary
The board granted a special permit allowing a three‑bedroom dwelling above a garage in a business-zoned parcel at the request of Aaron and Sherry Paquin; Conservation Commission and Board of Health offered no objections.
The Town of Lakeville Zoning Board of Appeals on June 12 approved a special permit to allow a three-bedroom single-family dwelling constructed above a garage on property located in a business zoning district for applicants Aaron and Sherry Paquin.
Attorney Craig Medgaris, representing the Paquins, told the board the parcel is residential in character despite its business zoning and meets the dimensional requirements of the Town of Lakeville zoning bylaw. Medgaris said the lot has 175 feet of frontage and a total area of roughly 77,102 square feet, and the proposed building meets the bylaw’s side, front and rear setback requirements.
Town memos from the Conservation Commission and the Board of Health were read into the record. The Conservation Commission noted that the proposed work lies partly within the 100-foot buffer of an adjacent wetland resource area and that any wetland impacts will be conditioned through the commission’s deliberations. The Board of Health reported no objections, noting that the proposed dwelling would not create new water or sewer connections at this time.
A member moved to approve the special permit as applied for; the motion was seconded and the board voted in favor. The board recorded the approval and the applicant was reminded of the standard filing with the clerk and the 20-day appeal period.
