DRB approves setback waiver for garage at 73 North Street
Summary
The New Haven Development Review Board unanimously approved a waiver allowing Mary Blacklock to build a 26-by-16-foot garage with an upper suite at 73 North Street that will sit 9 feet from the property line instead of the 15 feet required in the Neighborhood-Commercial district.
The New Haven Development Review Board on Feb. 2 approved a waiver permitting Mary Blacklock to construct a 26-foot by 16-foot garage with an upper master suite at 73 North Street. The structure will be set 9 feet from the property line where the Neighborhood-Commercial (NC) zoning district requires a 15-foot setback; the board voted 6-0 to grant the waiver and then closed the hearing.
DRB member Kathy Barrett said the application "appears to satisfy the criteria for a waiver in Section 333," noting the waiver represents the minimum dimensional deviation necessary to avoid unreasonable hardship and that granting it would not unduly affect public health, neighborhood character, traffic patterns, or utility services. Otter Creek engineer Jason Larocque advised the board that the boundary lines follow the deed description, and neighbor Andrew Buoincontro submitted a letter to the zoning administrator indicating he had no objection. The motion to approve was moved by Kathy Barrett and seconded by Tim Paquette; the vote carried 6 in favor, 0 opposed.
