Petition 26-V-13 — variance of development standards, minimum dwelling size

Description

A variance to allow a new home with only 288 square feet on the first floor — a garage and mechanics room — with about 1,550 square feet of living space upstairs, to keep the home above a wetland area.

Impact summary

The neighborhood gets a new home built above potential flood levels, though it breaks the usual first-floor size rule.
