Applicant says neighbors do not oppose 51 Cottage Street plan; adverse-possession dispute excluded from lot area
Summary
Applicant representatives told the Zoning Board they contacted nearby homeowners, who did not object, and that a contested parcel subject to an adverse-possession case has been excluded from the lot area calculations on the plan.
During the presentation for 51 Cottage Street the applicant team reported they had reached out to adjacent property owners. Chris said he contacted the Rodriguez family, which owns the standalone garage next to the relief area, and that they “didn't seem to have any issues with it.”
Larry and the applicant team also explained that a separate piece of the site is involved in an adverse-possession lawsuit; they excluded that disputed square from the lot-area illustration used for the variance request. The board noted that exclusion and factored the parcel configuration into its assessment of hardship related to lot shape.
