Zoning board approves variance package for addition at 116 East Avenue
Summary
After a presentation and submission of neighborhood comparables, the board approved area variances for additions at 116 East Avenue; roll call was unanimous in favor. Applicant Rob Massey and architect Keith Buff provided data showing similar nonconformities in the UR‑2 neighborhood.
Rob Massey and architect Keith Buff presented neighborhood data and comparables to justify area variances for additions at 116 East Avenue in the UR‑2 district. Massey described the proposal to expand living space for a growing family and provided a footprint comparison and setback analysis showing many nearby properties are nonconforming.
The board considered the draft motion, found the applicant had demonstrated that the benefit could not be achieved by other feasible means, and that the requested relief would be consistent with neighborhood character. The motion was moved, seconded and the board voted in favor: all six seated members recorded votes in support and the motion passed.
The approved motion calls for area variances to permit the stated additions as per the submitted plans; no additional conditions were recorded in the public motion text.
