Board approves variances to relocate generator and place pool equipment at 108 Catherine Street, limits testing hours
Summary
The Zoning Board granted a dimensional variance permitting a relocated generator and pool equipment for 108 Catherine Street, subject to a one‑year start/complete condition and a generator‑testing time restriction of Monday–Friday, 9 a.m.–5 p.m.
The board approved a dimensional variance on an abbreviated summary for Jessica L. Phillips, owner of 108 Catherine Street, allowing relocation of an existing generator and placement of pool equipment approximately 12 feet from the east front property line where 30 feet is required.
Attorney representing the applicant explained the generator currently sits about five feet from the property line; the proposal would move it to the northeast corner roughly 12 feet from the street and colocate pool equipment. The application follows prior zoning relief for an in‑ground pool granted in 2022; the owner said that earlier pool approvals lapsed and a new application for the pool will be filed later, while pursuing equipment location relief now.
The board adopted the staff report and testimony as the record, granted the dimensional variance on standard conditions—that work be started and substantially complete within 12 months of the decision (or an approved extension) and outstanding public‑notice invoices be paid before recording—and added a testing‑hours restriction: generator testing limited to Monday through Friday between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. The vote was unanimous.
The board advised the applicant to coordinate equipment location in the resubmitted pool application if the pool layout changes.
