Summary

The board continued a variance request for a roughly 407-square-foot pool cabana at 17 Murdock Drive to the July 20 meeting after the applicant requested a continuance because a fifth board member was absent; the legal notice lists Dennis C. Walsh as petitioner, while the contractor referenced an owner named Dennis Rose.

The City of Peabody Zoning Board of Appeals continued a variance request for an oversized pool cabana at 17 Murdock Drive to its July 20 meeting after the petitioner asked for a continuance when the board lacked a full five-member panel.

The legal notice read into the record listed the petitioner as Dennis C. Walsh and described the requested variance as relief to allow a pool cabana of about 407 square feet where 120 square feet is permitted in the R1A zoning district. During presentations, Richard Campo identified himself as the general contractor for the owner and asked the board to either wait for the absent fifth member or continue the matter. At one point he said he would like to continue; the board recessed briefly and then voted to continue the item to July.

Transcript inconsistency: the notice names Dennis C. Walsh as the petitioner, while the contractor identified the owner as Dennis Rose; the transcript does not resolve the difference. The board did not take a final vote on the variance and made no substantive findings on the size or design of the proposed cabana; the matter will return on July 20.
