ZBA grants permit for third garage bay (RV storage) at Carriage Shop Road
Summary
The ZBA approved a special permit allowing Joseph Costa to add a third garage bay at 218 Carriage Shop Road for RV storage; board conditioned approval on as‑built verification, stormwater controls and standard working‑hour limits.
The Zoning Board of Appeals approved a special permit for Joseph F. Costa to add a third garage bay at 218 Carriage Shop Road to provide enclosed recreational‑vehicle storage. The board found the lot adequate and the proposed increase in structure coverage would remain within the zoning limits.
Costa described the planned bay as an RV storage bay with minimal utilities and interior lighting. Engineering recommended stormwater controls and the board asked that the applicant certify final lot coverage (as‑built) given the project sits near the bylaw maximum for pervious/impervious surfaces. The water department offered an advisory suggestion about service size; other departments reported no objections.
Board members favored enclosing recreational vehicles rather than leaving them exposed in the public view. The board closed the hearing and approved the special permit unanimously with conditions including adherence to the submitted plan, working‑hour limits and a requirement to certify lot coverage upon completion.
