ZBA grants use variance for in‑law suite; deed restrictions required
Summary
The board approved a use variance to allow an in‑law apartment with a full kitchen at 41 Romingo Road, accepting the applicants' statement that the space is intended for a family member rather than as a rental and attaching deed restrictions.
The Zoning Board approved a use variance on June 18 allowing an in‑law apartment with a full kitchen at 41 Romingo Road, with the board requiring deed restrictions to limit use to a family member rather than a separate rental unit.
Applicant Adam Zanan told the board the addition includes a full kitchen intended for his mother-in-law and said "the only intent is for my mother-in-law to move into, the addition after it's completed." He explained that, based on feedback from the building inspector, the presence of a kitchen classifies the space as an in‑law apartment rather than a simple addition, and that the family does not intend to rent the unit.
A board member moved to approve the use variance with associated deed restrictions; the motion passed unanimously. The restriction and the variance will be recorded as required by the town.
