Your feedback helps us prioritize what to improve next.
The approval allows the property owners to build the proposed garage despite the standard rear-yard setback requirement. The Board cited the lot’s slopes, the house’s off-center location, and the need to preserve an area for a leach field as hardship conditions limiting where the garage could be placed. Construction must substantially follow the site plan received on April 28, 2026.
