Uxbridge ZBA grants variance for detached garage at 340 East Street
Summary
The ZBA granted a variance allowing construction of a detached garage at 340 East Street, reducing right-yard and rear-yard setbacks to five feet on finding of hardship due to site topography and wetlands; no public opposition was present during the continued hearing.
At a continued hearing on Aug. 13 the Uxbridge Zoning Board of Appeals granted a variance to Jeffrey Phillips for construction of a detached garage at 340 East Street.
Board members had requested a surveyed plot plan at the prior hearing; the applicant provided a stamped plan showing the proposed garage would be approximately 7.4 feet from the side lot line (applicant said he would align the garage with the driveway edge), and 5 feet to the rear. Members said the survey provided the necessary clarity, that the project presented a hardship related to topography and wetlands, and that the reduced setbacks would not be detrimental to the public good. With no public comment in opposition, Tom moved to close the hearing and then to grant the variances; the motion passed unanimously. The board will prepare a written decision within 14 days and noted the statutory appeal period.
