ZBA grants variance for front‑yard parking at 272 Whipple St.
Summary
The board approved a variance allowing two front‑yard parking spaces at 272 Whipple St., noting standard lot‑coverage relief and finding the design consistent with neighboring properties.
The Zoning Board of Appeals approved a variance on Jan. 15 for 272 Whipple St. (Carrero Revocable Trust) to construct a front‑yard driveway and two parking spaces with associated lot‑coverage relief. The applicant said the 16‑foot driveway opening and retaining work are typical for the street and that similar arrangements exist on nearby properties.
Board members noted the change results in a net gain of one off‑street space for the neighborhood and discussed retaining‑wall costs and driveway width; a motion to grant the variance was made and passed unanimously. The applicant may proceed with appropriate permitting and land‑disturbance work and must adhere to the approved plan.
