A request to build a 36x46 attached garage at 7583 Third Street seeking 5-foot setbacks on two sides was not recommended by the Planning Board; board members and a public commenter questioned scale and suggested the zoning board would likely not approve a 5-foot variance.

The Planning Board reviewed a preliminary site-plan application from Anthony Butera for a 36-foot-by-46-foot attached garage at 7583 Third Street. The applicant requested variances to locate the garage 5 feet from the south and west property lines where the zoning code requires 12.5-foot setbacks. Board members asked about size, height, and how the garage would align with the existing house and neighborhood fabric.
