The Quincy Zoning Board of Appeals convened on February 11, 2025, to discuss several key matters, including a variance request for a residential addition and the election of new board officers.

The meeting began with a proposal from Kyle Costa, co-owner of a property at 305 Meadow Street, seeking a variance to construct a single-level addition at the rear of his home. Board members expressed support for the project, noting the improvements made to the property and the positive impact on the neighborhood. Local residents, including Debbie Riley and Mike Kelly, spoke in favor of the addition, highlighting the family's commitment to maintaining the area. The board unanimously voted to grant the variance, signaling a favorable outcome for the Costa family.

In addition to the variance discussion, the board conducted elections for its leadership positions. Martin Akins was nominated and elected as chairman, while Mister Chin was chosen as vice chairman. Kathleen Griffin was reappointed as the board's clerk. The elections were conducted smoothly, with no additional nominations for the positions, reflecting a consensus among board members.

Overall, the meeting underscored the board's commitment to supporting local development while ensuring community interests are considered. The approval of the variance and the election of new officers mark a productive session for the Quincy Zoning Board of Appeals.
