A logistical oversight brought the Buzzards Bay Area Habitat for Humanity back before the Marion Zoning Board of Appeals for a brief meeting on September 25.
The project to construct a single-family Habitat for Humanity home at 185 Wareham Road was already approved by the ZBA, but the wording in some of the paperwork brought Buzzards Bay Area Habitat for Humanity Board of Directors Vice-President Robin Ragle-Davis and Attorney Janice Robbins before the board one last time.
The project required a variance to build on the non-conforming lot, which the board granted, and as Marion Building Department Clerk Ann Marie Tobias put it, “It was all buttoned up in one night.”
Also during the meeting, the special permit application for Sippican Preservation LLC to add an addition to its existing five-unit condominium complex was continued until October 9 to allow the board time to gather more information before rendering a decision.
Sippican Preservation is seeking to square off the corner foundation and add a sixth condominium unit for the 16 Cottage Street high-end condominium complex.
The board is seeking information to address its concerns pertaining to the parking lot configuration and the egress point on Spring Street.
The Tabor Academy matter concerning the backstop on the athletic field was continued again until December 11.
The next meeting of the Marion Zoning Board of Appeals is scheduled for October 9 at 7:30 pm at the Marion Town House.
