ZBA approves 3‑lot subdivision at 69 Outlook with small lot‑width variance
Summary
The ZBA granted a 5‑foot lot‑width variance to allow a three‑lot subdivision at 69 Outlook, approving a non‑binding note that future construction should meet setback requirements (vote 5–0).
The board approved a 5‑foot variance on July 27 to permit a three‑lot subdivision at 69 Outlook Avenue. Paul Polakis of PLP Development presented the application and said the subdivision would create three lots in a block where several neighboring parcels are already narrower than the UDO minimum. He asked for the variance to allow Lot 1 to have a 55‑foot proposed width rather than the 60‑foot standard.
Board members discussed Planning Board's advisory 4–2 recommendation and the possibility of adding a non‑binding note to the approval alerting future reviewing bodies that the board expected future homes to meet setback requirements. The chair and several members agreed to include a note for future boards; the motion to approve the variance carried 5–0. The decision includes a reminder that subdivision review and any site‑specific permitting remain separate processes.
