Commission grants variance for 87 River Road after attorney’s presentation
Summary
After attorney Darren Elkhaim summarized revised plans and a reduced pool footprint, the commission approved the previously tabled variance for 87 River Road unanimously; staff noted the side‑setback concerns and reviewed survey measurements.
The commission approved a previously tabled variance application for 87 River Road following a presentation by attorney Darren Elkhaim on behalf of the property owners. Elkhaim said the applicants reduced the pool and pool‑deck footprint and provided updated drawings and neighbor input.
Staff discussed why the side‑setback variance had been recommended for denial in the past (future development risk if neighboring lot redevelops closer to the property line), but noted the new plans reduced impacts and clarified the request. Commissioners asked for measurement details, and the applicant and counsel explained the survey information and the updated footprint.
After discussion, a motion to approve the variance passed on a unanimous roll call. Staff will notify the applicants of the approval and provide direction for next steps in permitting and construction oversight.
