New accessory-apartment application by Joyce Cancel declared incomplete pending plan revisions

Sep 11, 2026

An initial application by Joyce Cancel to convert a finished basement into a roughly 600-square-foot accessory apartment was accepted for filing but declared incomplete; the board asked for a zoomed-out site plan showing four parking spaces, removal of a closet to avoid adding a bedroom, and clarification of septic/bathroom capacity.

The full story

The board reviewed a first-time application by Joyce Cancel to convert a finished basement into an accessory apartment of about 600 square feet. The applicant said the unit would be used by family (her son and his wife or the applicant herself) and described existing parking and garage space, but the board said the submitted plan was too rudimentary and required a zoomed-out site plan that clearly shows the four required parking spaces for the principal dwelling and accessory apartment.
