The Zoning Board voted July 16 to grant a side‑yard setback variance for an addition to the single‑family home at 1214 Watkins Street.
Attorney Peter Salino said the lot shape creates the need for relief and that the addition is intended to provide living space (not a separate dwelling). Board members asked about proximity to the neighbor and whether the addition would create an ADU; the applicants and counsel said the addition was for family living and would not include a kitchen or be a separate unit. A motion to grant the variance passed by roll call.
