Votes at a glance: board approves deck at 119 Manet Ave. and automotive-wrap business at 1117 Newbury St.
Summary
At the June 23 hearing the board approved a variance to add a second-floor deck and attic conversion at 119 Manet Ave. and a variance to convert a Newbury Street warehouse/office into a cosmetic automotive wrapping and tinting studio at 1117 Newbury St.; both motions carried and the meeting was adjourned.
The zoning board handled several brief petitions and approvals on June 23:
- 119 Manet Ave. (GBA 2613): Hilliard Crawford received approval to convert a second-floor roof area above the first-floor living room into a deck and to create attic/third-floor living space. The applicant said there is no increase to footprint or roof height and the single-family use remains unchanged. The board voted in favor of the variance.
- 1117 Newbury St. (GBA 2617): Lee Zhang requested a variance to convert an existing warehouse/office into a cosmetic automotive studio that will perform vinyl wrapping and window tinting. Zhang said work will be done indoors, will not include mechanical work or painting and will use only simple cleaning agents; staffing was estimated at four to five employees and the site has roughly four parking spaces. The board moved to allow the petition and it was approved.
Following those votes the board moved to adjourn.
These items were routine in scope and drew minimal debate; planning and engineering noted no outstanding objections recorded in the hearing.
