Zoning Board Grants Variances for Home Expansion at 27 Wakefield Avenue
The Zoning Board of Appeals considered an application for variances to update and expand a home at 27 Wakefield Avenue. The applicant sought to construct a full second story, legalize a breezeway, and legalize a front vestibule, all of which encroached on the required front yard setback. The board discussed the existing non-conformities, the applicant's request to build upwards within the existing footprint, and the potential impact on neighborhood character. The board ultimately granted the application with a motion to approve.
Zoning Board Grants Variances for Redevelopment of Gas Station on Hillside Avenue
The Zoning Board of Appeals considered an application for variances for a proposed redevelopment of a gas station at 901 Hillside Avenue. The applicant, Bola EM Realty LLC, sought to replace the existing structure with a new convenience store and gas station, requiring several variances for signage, canopy setbacks, rear yard setbacks, and ground signage height and size. The board discussed the unique site constraints, the limited visibility of the station due to surrounding buildings, and the proposed signage. The application was granted with modifications, including reducing the height of the two proposed pylon signs to 18 feet and removing two panels from each sign, and ensuring no cooking facilities are present.
Zoning Board Continues Review of Senior Housing Modification at 12 Irma Avenue
The Zoning Board of Appeals reviewed an application for a modification of a conditional use permit granted in May 2023 for a senior housing project at 12 Irma Avenue. The original approval allowed for 10 apartments with indoor and outdoor common spaces on the roof. The applicant sought to modify the permit to relocate the indoor and outdoor common spaces to the first floor and place the 10th apartment on the roof. The primary reasons cited were value engineering, making the project more economical, and addressing resident concerns about privacy regarding the roof-top common areas. The board discussed the visual impact of the proposed third-floor structure, potential 'canyon effect' on Virginia Street, and whether the modification constituted a substantial change from the original approval. The board decided to continue the application to allow for further review.
Zoning Board Grants Variances for Office Expansion at 36 Sylvester Street
The Zoning Board of Appeals heard an application for variances related to interior alterations to enlarge an office area within an existing warehouse at 36 Sylvester Street. The applicant, ZRMI LLC, sought variances for lot width, front yard setback, parking, parking space size, and modifications to prior variance conditions. The board discussed the applicant's request to increase office space by 718 sq ft, requiring additional parking. They also reviewed the history of prior decisions and restrictive covenants. The application was granted, with specific conditions related to the front yard setback and clarifying the removal of 36 Sylvester Street from previous parking conditions.
Zoning Board Modifies Parking Conditions for TishCon Corp. Properties
The Zoning Board of Appeals addressed two companion appeals concerning parking conditions for TishCon Corp. properties at 41 New York Avenue and 30-36 Sylvester Street. The original 2007 variance required TishCon to have exclusive use of parking across multiple properties, including 36 Sylvester Street, which was not under the board's jurisdiction at the time. The board reopened these appeals to correct this jurisdictional issue. TishCon's attorney consented to allowing the new owner of 36 Sylvester Street to also use the parking spaces. The board modified the 2007 decisions to remove the parking condition as it applied to 36 Sylvester Street, clarifying that parking for 30-36 and 41 New York Avenue would be treated as one.
