Zoning Board of Appeals 11/10/2026

The MGAT Zoning Board of Appeals met on November 10, 2026, to hear residential construction and land-use variance applications. At 19 Melba Street, the applicant revised the plans and withdrew the rear-deck/infinity-pool setback request; a motion to approve the remaining variances was made, but the transcript does not capture the result of the vote. The 433 Oldgate Lane hearing was continued to December because the applicant was absent. The board unanimously approved a side-yard variance for a new residence at 851 East Broadway and a use variance at 60 Broad Street to allow first-floor residential use and increase the permitted bedroom count from six to nine.

The board denied, with all members voting against the motion, the 240 Edgemont Road application, which included requests for 78% lot coverage where 65% is permitted and 54% building area where 45% is permitted. It unanimously approved the 26 Atwater Street application for variances relating to a replacement house on the existing footprint and deck projections; the shed variance was removed from the motion. No procurement, contract awards, vendor selections, or spending decisions were identified.
