BEDFORD — Zoning Board of Appeals grants two relief applications, continues two others. Chair Thomas P. Flannery and the five-member board unanimously approved a Special Permit for Jenny Buchholz to enclose a non-conforming porch at 23 Crescent Avenue and a Variance for Philip Kallis to place an accessory shed at 5 Springs Road, subject to a condition preventing tree removal.
The board continued Amanda Carman's front-yard setback variance and David Brickman's non-conforming lot application to August 27 after public comments raised wildlife corridor and drainage concerns. Associate Karl Winkler announced his resignation, citing philosophical disagreement with the board's vision.
