ZBA approves ADU variance at 11 Campbell Street with conditions on snow, trash and pervious area
Summary
The board granted a combined sideline setback variance for a proposed ADU at 11 Campbell Street, imposing conditions that the applicant submit revised plans showing snow-storage areas, trash receptacle locations and percent impervious calculations.
Attorney Dan Cahill represented the Emerald Family Holding Trust and said the requested 9.3‑foot combined sideline setback variance is needed because of the lot's configuration; he argued the property satisfies statutory hardship standards and cited the purpose of the ADU provisions.
Neighbors who live on Campbell Street spoke in favor, and the proposed ADU occupant, Dorothy Thibodeau, said she hopes the board will approve the plan so she can remain in Lynn. Board members asked for a plan showing where snow will be stored, where trash will be located and a calculation of impervious versus pervious surface; the board voted to grant the variance with those stipulations.
"I hope you approve this because I really look forward to staying in Lynn and continuing in the neighborhood," said Dorothy Thibodeau, a prospective ADU occupant who testified in support.
