The proposed deck at the second floor level would constitute an addition to the building. Because the proposed addition does not comply with Zoning Dimensional Requirements, a permit can not be issued for this project unless a Variance or Special Permit is first granted by the Zoning Board of Appeals. You may file an appeal with the Zoning Board,but until such relief is granted,you must continue to cease and desist all construction activity at 18 May Street. IS May Street is an existing non-conforming building in a B-2 Zoning Area. O Maximum Lot-Coverage for B-2 is 25%.The current Lot-Coverage is 44%. O Side yards in a B-2 Zone are required to be a minimum of 10 feet. The existing side yards are less than 10 feet. The proposed second-floor deck would: 1. Increase the amount of lot coverage. 2. Result in additional side yard encroachment. The contact for the Board of Appeals is Erin Schaeffer at 978-619-5685.
