Brookside Avenue Lot 24 Variance
At a glance
Petition 2632 (Frederick Hebshi estate) sought a variance to build a single-family colonial (28 by 36 feet, four bedrooms) on a vacant wooded 60 by 110 foot lot (6,581 square feet) at Brookside Avenue lot 24 in an R1C zone, lacking required lot area, frontage and setbacks. The lot was held since 1961 and taxed as buildable, but a 2025 building department finding treated it as merged with an adjoining Nazzarella family parcel through common ownership. The lot matches the other lots on the street, the proposed house meets the setbacks, and the board urged saving as many trees as possible. No one spoke in favor or against. The board voted 5-0 to grant the variance as presented. The chair noted the state is moving the standard from hardship to practical difficulty.
