Zoning board approves flood‑plain addition at 133 Darrow St., Quincy
Summary
The Quincy Zoning Board on April 22 granted a flood‑plain special permit and variance for an owner to replace a rear deck with a one‑story, flood‑compliant addition at 133 Darrow Street.
The Quincy City Zoning Board on April 22 approved a special‑permit flood‑plain finding and a variance allowing an owner to remove an existing rear deck and construct a one‑story flood‑compliant addition at 133 Darrow Street.
The board voted to grant ZBA 25‑7 for petitioner and owner Aaron Cavan. The application, described in the motion on the record, sought relief to replace the existing deck with a one‑story addition designed to meet flood‑plain requirements. The motion to accept the petition was moved and seconded and was approved by voice vote.
Board members discussed a separate driveway question raised during review, noting the property’s narrow configuration and a reported tax lien. Chair Marty Akins said the city director indicated the city could ultimately take the property if taxes remained unpaid; board members otherwise said the addition under review would not affect the driveway. The board also noted the applicant had complied with the requests made during earlier review.
No public testimony opposed the application. After discussion the board voted in favor; the motion passed by voice vote with no opposition recorded.
The approval allows the owner to proceed with the proposed one‑story, flood‑compliant addition at the rear of the house on the premises numbered 133 Darrow Street. The record did not specify an implementation timeline or additional permits that may be required from other city departments.
