1. 411 Providence Highway-  Applicant is requesting a temporary modification of a 2015 Special Permit.  The Petitioner proposes to place two temporary sales trailers on the property for the duration of the renovations at the Mercedes dealership located at 425 Providence Highway.

2. 37 Lake Shore Drive-Applicant was approved for an accessory apartment special permit in May 2023.  The plans submitted for a building permit differ from the ZBA approved plans by showing windows and door in the foundation walls.  Application is a request to modify the plans in the decision.

3. 48 Birch Tree Drive-The Board shall hear an application filed by Harry Davis for a Special Permit pursuant to the Westwood Zoning Bylaw Sections §4.5.3.2.2 [Alterations of Nonconforming Structures-Vertical Extension] and §4.5.3.2.3 [Portico]. The Petitioner proposes to construct a second story addition to the right side of an existing single-family residence and a portico over the front entry.  The addition will vertically extend the existing first floor walls, which violate the side setback at 10.8' where 20' is required. The existing house also violates the front setback at 36’ where 40’ is required.  The proposed portico will be located 32.7’ from the front lot line. The lot is nonconforming due to a lack of frontage, lot width, and lot area.  The property is located in the Single Residence C (SRC) zoning district.
