Dimensional variance (lot width) at 111 Easy Street
Granted dimensional relief from the 50-ft minimum lot width so a 15,440 sq ft lot in the RT/R-3 zone can be split into three lots of at least 5,000 sq ft each. Two of the lots have widths of about 39.7 and 37.4 ft; the existing single-family house remains. John Garrahy represented the applicant and Michael McHugh testified as zoning expert.
