Planning board approves variance to widen garage and enclose upstairs room at 31 Hobson Street
Summary
The Planning Board unanimously approved ZPA 12-25, authorizing a four-foot garage widening on the Hobson Street side to accommodate modern vehicles and enclosing a previously unusable upstairs area to improve safety and code compliance.
The Stamford Planning Board on May 20 approved ZPA 12-25, a request to widen an existing garage bay and enclose an above-garage room at 31 Hobson Street.
The applicant told the board the house, built in 1929 with multiple additions, contains an awkward balcony and a bedroom with limited head clearance; widening the garage by four feet will allow modern SUVs to fit and permit raising the bedroom floor to meet code and improve safety.
The applicant described prior referrals and changes made to respond to zoning feedback. The board asked no substantive follow-up questions; the motion to approve passed unanimously.
