Summary
The Board of Appeals granted the special-permit relief requested by applicant Meghan O’Hara after her attorney said a deck was added during construction and a subsequent permit request was denied by the Building Department; seven abutting neighbors submitted letters supporting the request.
The Board of Appeals granted the relief requested by Meghan O’Hara for property at 124 Wood Street during a March 16, 2026 hearing that began at 4:19 PM. The Zoning Administrator, Virginia Donahue-King, moved to grant the relief at 4:26 PM and the hearing record notes the board rendered a decision in favor of the applicant.
At the hearing Attorney Ned Corcoran told the board the property had earlier received a special permit to construct an addition and that a deck was added during the construction. Corcoran told the board the deck was discovered during Building Department inspections and that a subsequent permit request for the deck was denied, prompting the appeal. The record lists seven letters of support from abutting neighbors. The applicants declined to speak, no members of the public offered oral comment, and the meeting concluded at 4:28 PM.
