Zoning Board Approves Shed Within 40-Foot Setback

Resident Brian Micciche of 59 Perkins Road was granted a variance to put a storage shed on his property within the 40-foot setback, as required by ordinance. Micciche told the Zoning Board of Adjustment (ZBA) at its Wednesday, Aug. 21 meeting that he lives on a hill and the only flat spot to locate the shed was in his front yard, about 12 feet from the edge of the road.
He described the shed as 12 feet by 16 feet and said it would look like a red barn, complete with cupola.

He said he also needed to locate the shed on the proposed spot to allow for wood deliveries, as he heats his home with wood.
