Quincy ZBA approves modest renovation variance at 41 Ashland Street
Summary
Nolan and Therese Carrier won variances to extend and modernize their single-family home at 41 Ashland Street (three bedrooms, 2.5 baths) without expanding the building footprint; the board voted unanimously to accept the application as presented.
Nolan and Therese Carrier presented plans to extend horizontally and modernize their 3-bedroom, 1-bath house at 41 Ashland Street while staying within the existing footprint and preserving the single-family character. Architect Antonino (Tony) Donato described a modest second-story addition and reconstruction of a deteriorated porch; the project adds roughly 300 square feet of conditioned space and reconfigures the upper floor to provide two full bathrooms.
Board members expressed support for reinvestment in the property and noted the plans respect neighborhood scale. A motion to accept the variance as presented passed on a voice vote. The board reminded the applicants that standard building-department reviews remain required before construction begins.
