Joe Landry, representing the property owner for 23 Russell Avenue, told the ZBA the proposal would replace an obsolete detached garage, create a safer driveway turnaround and match the house's hip‑roof aesthetic. The applicant said the new garage would be 13 feet at the midpoint (one foot higher than the 12‑foot standard) and would sit 6 feet from the side and rear lot lines.
Board members said the proposal reduced an existing nonconformity, improved safety by enabling a driveway turnaround, and fit the neighborhood character. A motion to approve the variance passed without recorded opposition. The chair encouraged the applicant to proceed with required permits.
