The Zoning Board of Appeals approved a 1.3-foot side-setback encroachment at 34 Turnpike Road, subject to Board of Health review.
Zoning Board of Appeals · Meeting of June 10, 2026
SOUTHBOROUGH — The Zoning Board of Appeals approved a 1.3-foot side-setback encroachment at 34 Turnpike Road, subject to Board of Health review. The 5-0 vote followed a hearing in which an abutter's consultant named Peter urged delay, citing assessor records showing four bedrooms on a lot with a repair-designed septic system. Members said the question before them was the setback, not the bedroom count, and made approval conditional on a Board of Health review confirming septic capacity.
The board also withdrew an application for 22 Newton Street without prejudice and discussed removing a two-year wait from the two-family bylaw.
