ZBA grants variance for detached garage at 56 Lynn Street

The Nashua Zoning Board of Adjustment approved a variance on Feb. 10 allowing a detached garage at 56 Lynn Street that would increase the property’s accessory-use area from 40% to 48% under Land Use Code §190-264.

Applicant David Raul described plans for a single-story garage (roughly 30 by 40 feet) placed toward the rear of a large, irregular lot. Raul said he will remove an existing canvas shelter and that the new building will be stick-built with siding and shingles to match the house. He told the board the proposed structure would be at least 14 feet from the nearest fence line.

Board members who spoke in deliberations noted the lot is one of the larger parcels in the neighborhood and that other nearby properties have similar accessory structures; the applicant said neighbors on both sides expressed no objection. Robert Shaw said placement further from the neighbor’s property line was favorable. The board moved, seconded, and approved the variance; the transcript records the motion and the chair announced the request was granted.
