Acting Chair continues hearing on 109 Smith Road renovation to Jan. 12
Summary
The Board of Appeals continued Stephon Gillings’s application for a rear addition and renovations at 109 Smith Road to Jan. 12, 2026, citing missing building-department determinations and absent attic/story calculations.
The Acting Chair of the Board of Appeals continued a hearing held Jan. 5, 2026 on an application by Stephon Gillings of 109 Smith Road so the applicant and Building Department can provide additional floor- and story-calculation details. The hearing was continued to Jan. 12, 2026 at 4:00 PM and the meeting adjourned at 4:22 PM.
The Acting Chair read the legal advertisement into the record and noted a denial letter from the Building Department was included in the file but that the Building Department had not issued a determination on whether the cellar constitutes a first floor. The Chair requested a calculation demonstrating the cellar should not be counted as a first floor and referenced the bylaw definition of a "story" as the basis for that request. No letters of support or opposition and no public comments were recorded for the case.
