ZBA denies procedural appeals over 1 Love Lane transit shelter filings
Summary
The Zoning Board of Appeals denied multiple appeals challenging the building commissioner’s decision on a transit shelter at 1 Love Lane because the appeals were not properly filed (missing filing fees and notice). The board ruled on procedural grounds rather than the merits.
The board reviewed several appeals filed with the town clerk challenging the building commissioner’s action concerning a transit shelter at 1 Love Lane.
Staff reported that each listed appellant failed to complete required procedural steps for bringing their appeal to the ZBA: specifically, the filing fee was not submitted and public notice requirements were not satisfied. The chairman directed the board to take each appeal separately and find that the appeals were not properly filed; the board voted to deny each appeal for the procedural defects rather than deciding any substantive issues about the transit shelter.
The denials included appellants Thomas and Elizabeth Asak; Megan Kieser (Kuser)/Vasili; Karen Howard Baerce; Faye Hudson; Mary and Paul Fassett; James Hudson; Michael R. Eldridge; and Jeffrey and Stephanie Winslow. The board’s action was procedural: each appeal was found to have been filed without required fee and proper notice, so denial was recorded.
The board did not rule on the underlying merits of the transit shelter approvals in these actions.
