Board asks for cellar/story calculations in 109 Smith Road application
Summary
The Board of Appeals asked the applicant and Building Department to provide calculations showing whether the cellar counts as a first floor and whether the attic constitutes a story before the Jan. 12, 2026 continuance.
The Board of Appeals highlighted missing technical calculations in the record for Case 2896 (109 Smith Road) on Jan. 5, 2026 and asked the applicant and the Building Department to provide them before the continued hearing on Jan. 12, 2026. The Acting Chair specifically requested a calculation demonstrating the cellar is not counted as a first floor under the bylaw definition of a "story."
Meeting minutes show the Acting Chair noted the Building Department had submitted a denial letter but had not provided a determination on the cellar/story question and that the file lacked an attic/story calculation. The Board continued the hearing to give time for those determinations and calculations to be supplied.
