Board approves small shed variance at 1 Yarrow Hill, citing safety and site constraints
Summary
The ZBA approved a 3-square-foot variance to legalize an existing 120 sq ft shed at 1 Yarrow Hill after occupants explained slope, emergency access concerns for a child with disabilities, and HOA consultation.
The board granted a variance to allow an existing 120-square-foot shed at 1 Yarrow Hill where code permits 117 square feet. Occupants and renters described why they placed the shed where it is — on flatter ground near the house entrance — citing slope, safe sight lines and the presence of a child with disabilities who needs monitoring.
Board members noted that the HOA had waived or approved the placement but emphasized that town approval is separate from HOA consent. After discussion about door placement and emergency exit paths, the board found the variance minor and approved it by roll call.
