**REVISED** Zoning Board of Appeals Meeting
Public hearings: River Run Lending Center at 43 Main St received a variance to allow a larger permanent sign (approval conditioned on Planning Board sign-permit approval); Michael McCarthy at 25 Greenwood St received a variance for setback relief to permit a garage to be constructed into the setback.
The Zoning Board of Appeals convened on September 26, 2024, and heard two public hearings. The first was an application from River Run Lending Center for a variance to allow a permanently installed sign at 43 Main St. The applicant explained the sign was already purchased and mounting work begun; the building inspector noted the Planning Board had referred the sign to the ZBA. After discussion about whether the circumstances constituted a legal hardship, the board voted unanimously to grant the variance, with the approval conditioned on the Planning Board’s final sign-permit approval.
The second hearing concerned Michael McCarthy’s request for a variance from setback requirements to build a garage at 25 Greenwood St. The applicant reviewed his submission; a board member questioned why proposed dimensions matched existing dimensions and noted an initial error in the frontage data that was later corrected. No members of the public spoke. The board voted unanimously to approve the requested variance. The meeting concluded with brief scheduling notes about future meetings.
