Dorset planning commission grants setback waiver for attached garage at 669 Peace St
Summary
The Planning Commission granted a waiver to replace an existing detached garage and shed with a smaller attached garage at 669 Peace St, finding zoning section 4404A criteria satisfied; the vote was 5-0-0.
The Town of Dorset Planning Commission voted unanimously on June 2 to grant a waiver that will allow an owner to replace a detached garage and shed with a new attached garage at 669 Peace Street. Applicant representative Alan Benoit presented the plan, saying the existing shed and garage total 883 sq.ft. and that the proposed attached garage would be 864 sq.ft., which the commission noted extends less into the front yard setback and meets the 25-foot side-yard requirement.
Chair Gay Squire reviewed the five waiver criteria from zoning section 4404A and reported that “All were found to comply.” A motion to approve the waiver was made by Kit Wallace and seconded by Natalie Quigley; the commission approved the application 5-0-0. The minutes record no public comment and do not specify the property owner’s name. The decision allows the applicant to proceed with attaching the new garage under the approved design and setback conditions.
