Your feedback helps us prioritize what to improve next.
The approved variance allows the Simsbury Manor Drive property owner to build the addition closer to the side lot line because the board found that the floodplain, wetlands, and house location limited other options. The Up the Road proposal would have reduced the front-yard setback from 50 feet to approximately 16 feet and placed an accessory structure in the front yard, but the board found the expansion of the existing nonconformity unreasonable. JoAnn Hogan and Sheree Landerman were also unanimously reelected as chair and vice chair, respectively.
