Planning Board - Jul 13, 2026
A homeowner wants to build an attached carport 16 feet from the front property line instead of the required 20 feet in the R-1 district. She cited urgent family needs — a pregnant daughter, elderly mother, and a prior aneurysm — making covered parking a health and access issue.
