ZBA continues 40 Walter Street subdivision to Sept. 15 for detailed driveway and impervious-area plans
Summary
The board continued a proposal to split 40 Walter Street into two lots so the applicant can submit clearer plans showing driveways, pervious/impervious calculations, snow removal and trash storage; counsel cited a 1948 road abandonment affecting frontage calculations.

Attorney for the applicant described a proposal to divide a 14,510-square-foot lot into two lots, each to include a single-family dwelling plus an ADU. Counsel argued that a historical abandonment of a portion of Walter Street in 1948 affects the way frontage should be measured under prior zoning standards and that the lot’s shape and topography create practical difficulty.
Board members requested a detailed plan showing driveways, exact impervious-area calculations, proposed snow-storage areas and trash handling. The applicant agreed to provide revised drawings; the board voted to continue the application to Sept. 15 so the materials can be prepared and reviewed.
