The Quincy Zoning Board of Appeals granted a variance to allow a single‑level rear addition at 305 Meadow Street after hearing from the applicant and neighbors who spoke in favor.
Applicant Kyle Costa described a 12‑foot rear addition to relocate the living room and provide more space for his family; he said the proposed addition would encroach into the rear setback by nine inches (bringing the rear setback to 19.2 feet rather than the required 20 feet). Costa said he had spoken with neighbors and that they supported the project.
Neighbors Debbie Riley (9 Land Grama Street) and Mike Kelly (10 Meadow Street) spoke in favor, calling the homeowners a good family and praising the condition of the property. DPW reviewed the project and reported no comments. On a motion to grant the variance and finding, the board voted in favor; the chair called the motion carried.
Ending: The board closed public comment and moved the matter toward permit processing; no conditions beyond standard review were recorded at the hearing.
