The Stamford Planning Board approved minor setback relief for a Chaconic Road corner lot (CBA application 026‑2644) at its April 14 meeting.
The applicant reported that an inaccurate survey led to the discrepancy and asked for a front‑yard street line setback of 57.8 feet in lieu of the required 60 feet and a front‑yard street center setback of 82.8 feet in lieu of 85 feet. The board noted the parcel is a corner lot and determined the variances were modest; members moved and approved the relief.
Why it matters: The decision allows the applicant to complete a single‑family dwelling that otherwise would face a technical barrier due to the earlier survey error. The board expressed sympathy for avoiding undue financial burden from a technical survey mistake.
