Seven neighbors back variance request as Board of Appeals grants relief for 124 Wood Street
Summary
The hearing record for Case 2901 shows seven abutting neighbors submitted letters supporting the applicant’s request for relief after the Building Department denied a permit for a deck added during construction; there was no oral public opposition and the board granted the relief.
Seven letters from abutting neighbors were entered into the record in support of Meghan O’Hara’s variance request for 124 Wood Street during the Board of Appeals hearing on March 16, 2026. The listed supporters are Kathleen McDonough (21 Melbourne Rd), Thomas & Jeanne Kelly (118 Wood St), Paul Sullivan (128 Wood St), John Fleming (27 Melbourne Rd), Corrine Lyons (18 Melbourne Rd), Jacquelyn Fitzgerald (110 Alvin Ave), and Grier Potter (127 Wood St).
Attorney Ned Corcoran told the board the deck was added during construction, was discovered by Building Department inspections, and that a subsequent permit request for the deck had been denied, prompting the appeal. The applicants declined to speak and no members of the public offered oral comment at the hearing; the Zoning Administrator recorded a decision granting the relief at 4:26 PM and the meeting ended at 4:28 PM.
