Board approves multiple variances for residential projects, accepts withdrawal of one hearing
Summary
The board approved variances for 54 Beacon Road, 32 Center Street and 7 Windy Way West, accepted a withdrawal for 92 Highland Pond, and recorded vote tallies and conditions for approvals.
The Dennis Board of Health approved several variance applications at its monthly meeting, accepting engineering descriptions and voting to approve relief with stated conditions.
Robert Reed, engineer for Grama O'Reilly and Associates (speaker 9), presented the 54 Beacon Road request, saying the homeowner made a floor‑plan modification but there was “no change to the footprint of the house” and the dwelling remained three bedrooms. The board approved the 16B variance referencing the memorandum dated 09/05/2024; the chair recorded a 4–0 vote in favor.
The board also approved a 16B variance for 32 Center Street in East Dennis after hearing from Craig Ferrari of Down Cape Engineering (speaker 12). That approval carried unanimously under conditions 1, 2 and 3 referenced in staff materials.
For 7 Windy Way West in West Dennis, Craig Ferrari described a raise‑and‑replace project that includes a new pressure‑dosed septic with UV disinfection; the board approved the variance with the standard set of conditions from the staff memorandum.
Separately, the board accepted a written request received Sept. 10 from JM O'Reilly and Associates to withdraw the scheduled hearing for 92 Highland Pond without prejudice and closed that item.
Vote tallies and conditions were recorded in meeting minutes and in individual staff memoranda for each docketed property; where approvals were granted the board referenced the memorandum dates in motions.
