In a recent government meeting, the board approved a motion to grant zoning relief for a property on Geneva Street, allowing for the construction of a single-family home on a conforming lot. The motion passed with a vote of 4 to 1, with stipulations that no additional relief would be granted, ensuring that the property remains designated for single-family use only.

The meeting also addressed two requests for rehearing concerning a case at 296 Orange Street, where attorney Andrew Tyne is appealing a previous decision that limits occupancy to four unrelated individuals in a single dwelling unit. The board discussed the procedural aspects of the rehearing requests, noting that the late submission of additional materials raised concerns about fairness and thorough review.

After deliberation, the board decided to table both rehearing requests to allow for a more comprehensive review with all members present, emphasizing the importance of a complete understanding of the case history and the new information presented. The decision to table was made to ensure that all parties involved have a fair opportunity to present their arguments and for the board to consider the implications of the new evidence.

The meeting concluded with a review of the minutes from the previous session, which were approved with minor revisions. The next meeting is expected to address the tabled items, including the Geneva Street case and the two rehearing requests, ensuring that all relevant information is adequately considered.
