The Zoning Board gave permission for a new garage at 80 Mansur Street even though it does not meet the normal front-yard setback; the owners must plant one shade tree on Wyman Street and one on Mansur Street as a condition. A separate application to convert 123 University Ave into commercial space and studio apartments was not decided and was continued to the board’s June 22 meeting. Approving a variance means the board allows an exception to the city’s zoning rules for a specific property under the conditions noted.
