Zoning board approves variances for two undersized lots in Grand Avenue area
Summary
Zipbed Construction received variances allowing construction of two single‑family homes on two 30×127 lots that fall short of the 5,000 sq ft and 40‑foot width requirements after the board concluded setbacks and other standards could be met; vote was 4–1.
The board granted variances to Zipbed Construction LLC to build two single‑family houses on separate 30‑by‑127‑foot lots that fall short of the R‑6 lot size (5,000 sq ft) and width (40 feet) requirements. The applicant’s representative, Neil McDonald, said the plans call for 11 feet between houses and 5.5‑foot side setbacks; the lots are each roughly 3,700–3,800 square feet. The board identified two necessary variances (lot width and lot area) and noted nonconforming‑lot provisions under section 9.4(B).
No neighbors opposed at the hearing; the board approved the request 4–1. The applicant intends to build and market the homes as new construction. The board’s approval allows the project to proceed subject to required permits and compliance with setback and building code conditions.
