Representative requests front‑setback variance for accessibility ramp; ZBA schedules hearing
Summary
Mary Anne Georgiou, representing Caroline Lazard, asked the ZBA for a front‑setback variance to install a wheelchair ramp for accessibility; the board discussed redesigning the ramp to run parallel to the house to avoid snow‑removal problems and scheduled a July hearing.
Mary Anne Georgiou, who said she is the godmother and representative of Caroline Lazard, presented a front‑setback variance request to install a wheelchair ramp and connect to a planned garage. Georgiou described family mobility needs, including use of canes and walkers and rheumatoid arthritis, and said stone steps and a drop from the road make the current approach hazardous.
Board members discussed shifting the ramp to run parallel to the house rather than projecting straight onto the road to reduce snow‑removal conflicts; a front‑setback variance hearing was scheduled for the next meeting in July. The board offered to provide application reminders and confirmed scheduling details with the representative.
