Zoning board approves second‑story floor‑area variance for accessory structure at Hill Camp Farm Road
Summary
The board approved additional floor‑area relief to allow a two‑story detached accessory structure at 24 Hill Camp Farm Road; the board said the modification was an oversight at the prior hearing and the condo association had approved the plans.
The Coventry Zoning Board approved additional square footage to permit a two‑story detached accessory structure at 24 Hill Camp Farm Road. The request closed a gap from a prior hearing in which location and height had been approved but staff and the applicant said the need for an additional floor‑area relief had been missed.
Applicant representatives (surveyor/engineer) explained the calculation: the existing principal structure footprint multiplied by the ordinance’s 60 percent produced a maximum allowable accessory floor area; the applicant sought the additional approximately 960 square feet necessary to build the intended second story. Town staff described the request as straightforward and consistent with the earlier approvals; the condo association’s approval of the plan was noted and incorporated.
After a motion based on the staff report and testimony from the applicant’s engineer, the board voted to approve the requested additional floor area. The motion passed by roll call.
