Milton zoning administrator grants relief for addition at 145 Audubon Road
Summary
The Milton Board of Appeals granted relief for Case 2900 on March 16, 2026, allowing a second-floor addition at 145 Audubon Road after the zoning administrator noted neighbor support and a prior variance; no public opposition was recorded.
The Milton Board of Appeals granted relief for Case 2900, approving a proposed second-floor addition at 145 Audubon Road. Virginia Donahue-King, the town’s zoning administrator who served as acting chair, closed the public hearing and granted the relief at 4:18 PM on March 16, 2026.
Attorney Marion McEttrick, representing applicants Christopher Shannon and Kelly Larsen, told the board that the property has a prior variance and that the new addition would intensify the existing nonconformity; she said the applicants’ family needs more living space as their children grow. The record shows a denial letter from the Building Department among the application materials and a memo from Attorney McEttrick included in the file.
The record includes six written letters of support from immediate neighbors (addresses listed in the minutes), and the hearing produced no public speakers in opposition. The zoning administrator noted the proposed work would expand the second floor into a half story and characterized the change as de minimis and appropriate for a Special Permit. The board’s minutes record no opposing letters and no recorded votes against the motion.
The decision followed the close of evidence and public comment; the minutes list the application materials reviewed (plot plan, building plan, Building Department denial, neighbor letters, and Attorney McEttrick’s memo) and note that the zoning administrator moved to decision immediately after closing evidence. The grant of relief was entered in the minutes as approved at 4:18 PM.
