ZBA continues request for 1‑story flood-zone addition at 133 Darryl Street to April 22 for title/parking follow-up
Summary
The ZBA continued a petition for a special permit/FPOD finding and variance to replace a rear deck with a one‑story flood-compatible addition at 133 Darryl Street to April 22, 2025, after board members requested additional information about an adjacent parcel and parking options.
The Zoning Board continued action on a petition to remove an existing rear deck and construct a one-story flood-compatible addition at 133 Darryl Street to the board’s April 22 meeting to allow time to clarify ownership and parking issues.
Brian LaRoche, representing the applicant Aaron Cabin, said the project would replace an existing deck with an enclosed one-story addition raised on helical piles so floodwaters can pass under the structure. He described the house as a narrow, roughly 2,700-square-foot lot near the AE flood zone and said the addition is modest and aligned with the existing dwelling.
Board members and neighbors raised concerns because the property does not have its own driveway and a narrow adjacent parcel — formerly a demolished house site — lies between the subject house and the neighboring lot. The applicant and neighbors said the parcel’s owner had not engaged and may be out of state; the board requested staff to check tax records and ownership and asked the applicant to continue outreach.
A motion to continue the matter to the April 22, 2025 meeting at 6 p.m. passed on a voice vote. The board recorded that tax records show outstanding property tax balances on the adjacent parcel and directed the applicant and the board’s solicitor to pursue clarity on ownership before further action.
