Zoning Board of Appeals Meeting - November 10, 2026

The Arlington Zoning Board of Appeals met on November 10, 2026. The board approved minutes from October 27, 2026, and September 5, 2023, and adopted its 2027 meeting calendar and application deadlines. Members clarified that the calendar is intended to inform applicants and may be changed when circumstances warrant. No procurement activity, contract awards, or purchasing decisions were identified.

The board held a hearing on docket 3918 for 18 Marathon Street, concerning a proposed mudroom enclosure on an existing front porch. After discussing the design and public comments, the board voted to close the hearing pending receipt of a plan showing the mudroom and porch depth; a final decision will be considered later. In open forum, the chair noted that the Arlington Housing Authority expects to bring a comprehensive permit application for redevelopment of Drake Village in the spring. The board also discussed recruiting associate members and noted an ongoing wetlands-permit appeal related to the Mirror property at Thorndike Field.
