9 Greenridge applicant scales back plans; board asks for closer-in comparables on garage size
Summary
Applicant revised a proposed replacement garage at 9 Greenridge to a smaller footprint and asked for modest building-coverage relief; the board questioned neighborhood comparables and the applicant agreed to withdraw a request for second-floor plumbing.
The board reviewed a revised proposal to replace the garage at 9 Greenridge Place. The applicant presented a smaller building program (22x24) and sought a modest coverage variance (draft reads 42.5% proposed vs. 40% district). The applicant also initially requested a half-bath on the second floor but agreed during questioning to redact the second-floor plumbing request and proceed without it.
Board members asked for neighborhood comparables nearer to the site and cautioned against approving relief larger than the applicant actually needs. One member said if the applicant could verify a 42.5% figure from a survey the board would be more comfortable granting the precise relief rather than extra padding. The board read a draft resolution (20240552) describing a proposed 2.5% coverage relief; public hearing was closed for the item and the board prepared a draft motion.
