ZBA approves subdivision plan at 14 Albion Road after applicant shifts house forward to provide rear parking
Summary
The board approved a variance and subdivision at 14 Albion Road after the applicant moved the proposed house forward to create rear parking; the board noted lot history and found the proposal consistent with nearby single‑family context.
The Quincy Zoning Board of Appeals voted to approve a request to subdivide and construct a 2½‑story single‑family dwelling at 14 Albion Road after the applicant revised the site plan to place the house forward and provide parking at the rear.
Tran Nguyen, representing the owner, said the design now aligns the proposed house with the neighboring property at 18 Albion Street and provides three parking spaces in the rear. He told the board the proposal eliminates an attached garage to increase first‑floor living area and that open‑space calculations for the two resulting lots would be 2,500 sq ft (44%) and 2,400 sq ft (45%).
Board members asked about lot history and turning radii for rear parking; the applicant said the previous owner had controlled two lots and the current proposal matches the neighborhood lot pattern. After limited public comment and no letters in opposition, a board member moved to accept the application as presented and the motion carried.
The decision was recorded without additional conditions.
