Peabody Zoning Board of Appeals Meeting - October 19, 2026

The Peabody Zoning Board of Appeals meeting on October 19, 2026, considered residential zoning variance applications; no procurement activity, contract awards, or government spending decisions were identified. The board continued the 17 Murdoch Drive application to November 16. It unanimously denied the variance for 21 Emerson Street, which sought to rebuild and enclose a deck with substantial setback relief, after hearing neighborhood opposition. The board unanimously approved the 35 Martinuk Avenue deck expansion and the 30 Coleman Road roof connecting the house and garage; the latter approval prohibits enclosing the area beneath the roof and is subject to the building commissioner’s approval of structural integrity.

The board also unanimously approved the 15 Willis Road two-story rear addition, conditioned on the addition not extending beyond the existing structure. It accepted the September 21 meeting minutes, and announced its next regularly scheduled meeting for November 16, 2026.
