The Zoning Board approved an area variance that permits interior infill of a loft space at 31 Clover Place. Architect John Woodruff said the change is internal — a roughly 300-square-foot bedroom added within the existing envelope — and will not change the house’s footprint, wall heights, roofline or exterior appearance. He noted a prior, 1989 addition left the property dimensionally nonconforming.
Board members discussed the five-factor test, agreed the change would not produce an undesirable neighborhood character change and approved the variance. The applicant said improvements will reduce inefficient double-height volumes and modestly increase usable space by about 6 percent relative to the existing floor-area ratio.
