Planning Board recommends Jeff Shelters' second‑story addition be sent to Zoning Board
Summary
Jeff Shelters presented plans for a second‑story addition at 8482 Wickham Blvd; the Planning Board voted to recommend the application to the Zoning Board for consideration on Oct. 28 after confirming matching roofline and materials.
Jeff Shelters told the Planning Board he plans a 20‑by‑26‑foot second‑story addition at 8482 Wickham Blvd that would match the existing roofline and siding and remain on the home's current footprint. Shelters described removing a vaulted ceiling to create usable upstairs space and keeping the front porch unchanged; the new second story would sit about 2 feet from the west property line where the code requires 5 feet.
The board concluded the proposal warrants Zoning Board review because it represents a new two‑story element and potential setback relief. Janine Fogarty moved to recommend the application to the Zoning Board and Bill McKee seconded; the motion passed with recorded unanimous support. Chair Bruce Evener reminded the applicant to appear before the Zoning Board on Oct. 28.
Why it matters: the change increases living space and relies on a variance for setback relief; the Zoning Board will weigh neighborhood fit and code compliance.
Next steps: applicant to appear before the Zoning Board on Oct. 28 for formal consideration.
