Arlington Zoning Board adopts written decision granting special permit for 9 Lancaster Road addition
Summary
At its June 9 meeting the Arlington Zoning Board of Appeals unanimously adopted a written decision (docket 3901) granting a special permit for a second-story addition at 9 Lancaster Road under section 813B of the zoning bylaw; the board also approved minutes from May 26 and announced two hearings for June 23.
Christian Klein, chair of the Arlington Zoning Board of Appeals, called the meeting to order at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday and moved that the board approve and adopt the written decision in docket 3901 for 9 Lancaster Road, which grants a special permit for the erection of a second-story addition within the right-side yard setback under section 813B of the zoning bylaw. Patrick Hanlon seconded the motion, and the board approved it by roll call, with Roger Dupont, Patrick Hanlon, Mr. Holly, Nick Rosenberg and Chair Klein voting yes.
The vote followed administrative business in which the board also approved the minutes of its May 26 meeting. Chair Klein moved to approve the minutes; Hanlon seconded, and the board recorded a roll call approval. Mr. LeBlanc was bypassed on that roll call because he was not present at the May 26 meeting.
The meeting was conducted remotely under a March 28, 2025 bill signed by Governor Healey that extended temporary provisions related to the open meeting law through June 30, 2027; the meeting was recorded and broadcast by Arlington Community Media (ACMI). Chair Klein explained public-comment procedures for Zoom participants, noting that members offering public comment must provide full name and address for the public record. No members of the public raised hands during the newly added open forum.
Colleen Robertson, the board clerk and zoning assistant, and other members confirmed technical access and attendance. The board noted that the written decision had been prepared following the May 26 hearing and was drafted by Patrick Hanlon before being distributed to the board.
The board announced its next meeting for Tuesday, June 23 at 7:30 p.m., where two hearings are scheduled: an addition at Orchard Terrace and a request at 25 Heath Road for a second driveway. The meeting adjourned after a roll call vote to close the session.
