The board granted a request from Ralph Giangregorio to expand a personal training facility on North Putnam Street. The facility currently occupies only half of the building, and the approved expansion will allow the gym to extend into the remainder of the structure. The plan provides for 16 parking spaces, exceeding the zoning requirement of 13. The board unanimously approved the expansion with the condition that the applicant stripes the parking spaces as soon as weather permits.

Another decision involved granting a variance for Alexandria and Steven Djiali to construct a garage addition on Dartmouth Street. The garage, which will feature a handicap-accessible bathroom, is necessary due to Steven Djiali’s diagnosis with ALS. This requirement means the structure will encroach slightly on the front property line setback, reducing it to 27.1 feet from the required 30 feet. The board approved the variance, citing minimal encroachment and no adverse impact on neighboring properties.
