Flat Roof Change to Approved House Plans

At a glance

  • What: a request to modify a special permit granted August 23, 2022 for a 30 by 40 foot house, after the owner built a flat roof instead of the approved pitched roof without notifying the Building Commissioner or the Board.
  • Where it stands: On November 5 the Board closed the hearing, deferred findings and any penalty under the bylaw (up to 300 dollars per offense per day), and continued the case to December 9 with no further work allowed.
  • Next: December 9 at 6:30 PM: new permit for the actual plans and a decision on a penalty, with the Building Commissioner invited.

  • Hearing on the modification. The exterior was complete; the owner said the change saved cost and gained third-floor space. Board members were concerned that this was the second recent case of plans changed after approval. Closed the hearing, continued to December 9 with a no-further-work condition by unanimous voice vote.
