ZBA 26-17 — two single-family homes on one parcel
Burton
Description
A revised plan (after last month's duplex denial) for two detached 1,250-square-foot, three-bedroom homes on one .56-acre corner lot, aimed at first-time buyers. The motion failed 3-3 over hardship and shared sewer questions.
Impact summary
