Quincy ZBA allows 66 Middlesex addition after architect’s update
Summary
The Zoning Board of Appeals approved a variance request allowing a two-and-a-half‑story side addition and interior reconfiguration at 66 Middlesex Street after the applicant presented dimensional changes and answered questions from the board.
The Quincy Zoning Board of Appeals on June 10 approved a variance allowing JBC Architects LLC to construct a two-and-a-half‑story side addition at 66 Middlesex Street.
The board voted to “allow the petition,” after architect Jim Chang summarized revisions required for the continuance hearing. Chang said the proposal raises the first‑floor ceiling to 9 feet (from about 7 feet 2 inches), sets the second‑floor ceiling to 8 feet (from about 7 feet 4 inches), and retains the existing roof peak so the overall building height will not change.
The project as described would add a 75‑by‑20½‑foot side addition, create three full and two half bathrooms, finish a basement playroom, and reconfigure attic space. Chang described which exterior walls could be retained and which would be rebuilt during the work.
Board members asked about demolition and foundation work; one member noted inspectional services would be on site during construction. After public calls for and against (none were recorded), a board member moved to allow the petition and the chair called the vote. The board’s Chair announced “Aye,” and the motion carried.
The approval was recorded on the meeting record as VBA 25‑10 (JBC Architects LLC) for work at 66 Middlesex Street. The board did not state additional conditions on the record beyond the formal motion to allow the petition.
The applicant may now proceed with building‑permit steps required by inspectional services and must satisfy any outstanding plan or permit requirements before work begins.
