Based on auto-generated captions; names and details may be misheard.

  • What: request to waive the eight-bedroom cap in the R20 district so a second dwelling with four bedrooms can be added beside a six-bedroom house.
  • Where it stands: approved 5-0 on 2026-10-19 (bedroom waiver, then the second dwelling itself) with the staff report conditions.
  • Next: nothing pending before the board.

The request

  • Applicant: William Graham, represented online by Arthur Reid.
  • The lot is more than double the 20,000 sq ft R20 minimum; the bylaw allows the board to waive requirements, and the proposal stays under the one-bedroom-per-2,500-sq-ft intensity limit.
  • Staff noted that before last town meeting merged the secondary and tertiary dwelling definitions, this would have been allowed by right.
  • No public comment.

Decisions

  • Public hearing closed 5-0; bedroom waiver approved 5-0 with the staff report conditions.
  • The chair realized the second dwelling itself still needed a vote and took it later in the meeting: approved 5-0 on a motion by Liza, seconded by Joe.
