Selectmen deny revised ADU permit, refer owners to ZBA
Summary
The Troy Select Board denied building permit #2025-47 for Map 29, Lot 1 because the proposed accessory dwelling unit exceeds the 950 sq. ft. limit in current zoning and referred the applicants to the Zoning Board of Adjustment for a variance; vote was 3-0-0.
Troy — The Troy Select Board voted Jan. 22 to deny a revised building permit for an accessory dwelling unit and referred the property owners to the Zoning Board of Adjustment for a variance.
The board reviewed building permit #2025-47, for Map 29, Lot 1, and determined the proposed ADU would be larger than the 950-square-foot maximum allowed under the town’s zoning ordinance. Selectman Richard H. Thackston, III moved to deny the permit and to refer the matter to the ZBA; Selectman T.J. Chasse seconded. The motion passed 3-0-0.
Because the requested ADU exceeds the ordinance limit, the property owners must seek a dimensional variance from the ZBA. The board took no final action that would alter the zoning standard itself and did not grant a waiver or special exception at the meeting.
