Board approves pickleball court at 70 Bacon Road conditioned on below-grade construction and revised plans
Summary
The Board granted Spencer Ain a variance to build a pickleball court at 70 Bacon Road (98-foot variance from front-line rule) but required the court be sunk below grade and that revised retaining-wall and landscape plans be submitted.
The Board of Zoning Appeals approved Spencer Ain’s request to construct a pickleball court at 70 Bacon Road, granting a variance from the rule that an accessory structure not be located nearer the street line than the front line of the main dwelling.
The minutes record that the existing dwelling is 294 feet from the street line and the proposed court would be 196 feet (a requested variance of 98 feet). The board approved the application on a motion by Member Jennifer Vartanov, seconded by Member Pasquale Zito, with conditions: the pickleball court must be sunk below grade and the applicant must submit a revised retaining-wall plan and a revised landscape plan. The approval was recorded as carried in the June 8, 2026 minutes.
The minutes do not include a roll-call tally or additional engineering details; the listed conditions will be reflected in the written approval to follow.
