Summary
The Somerville Board of Adjustment on April 1 conducted a revote and denied Princeton Canoa LLC's application for 69 West End Avenue (docket 2025-00009Z) by a 3–2 roll-call vote; the board will prepare a written resolution for a subsequent meeting.
The Somerville Board of Adjustment conducted a revote on April 1, 2026 and recorded a denial of Princeton Canoa LLC's application for 69 West End Avenue (docket 2025-00009Z). Chairman Ardair announced that the application is denied and that a written resolution will be prepared for a future meeting.
The board took a roll-call vote to clarify an earlier tally. Chairman Ardair, Robera Carpinets and Rich O'Neal voted to deny; John Flores and Eric Alvarez voted against denial. The board did not complete a written resolution that night and said it will circulate one at a subsequent meeting.
The revote followed discussion earlier in the meeting about how a denial vote should be recorded and the board's desire to avoid confusion in the public record. No further action on that docket was taken at the April 1 meeting.
