Pursuant to Massachusetts General Laws, Chapter 40A s.5, the Maynard Zoning Board of Appeals will hold a remote public hearing to hear all persons interested in the application filed by Eliza Jane M. Bemis for the property located at 5 Grant Street, Maynard, MA 01754.
The subject property, 5 Grant Street, is a pre-existing nonconforming single-family dwelling on a nonconforming lot in the General Residence (GR) zoning district. The structure is nonconforming due to insufficient front setback (25 feet required, 13.9 feet provided); and east side setback (15 feet required, 11.6 feet provided). The lot is also nonconforming due to insufficient frontage (75 feet required, 55 feet provided); lot width (70 feet required, 55 feet provided); and lot area (7,000 square feet required, 4,675 square feet provided).
A Special Permit is requested under Section 4.1 of the Zoning By-Laws for a proposed deck that would extend but not exacerbate the pre-existing nonconforming east side setback (15 feet required, 11.6 feet provided).
