What: four variances (front, rear and side setbacks and building on a nonconforming lot of about 2,600 square feet) to build a single-family home at 32 Federal Street, where a prior duplex proposal had been denied.
Where it stands: denied 4-1 on October 7, Mr. Winters dissenting.
2026-10-07 - Zoning Board - Neighbors opposed, citing the narrow one-way street, fire access, loss of informal parking, the scale of the building, missing renderings and whether a hardship existed. Staff noted single-family use is permitted but the variances were still needed. A member moved denial because the encroachments were not a reasonable use and the variance criteria were not all met.
