Charles & Elaine Cowan Case No. V 0712
The Zoning Board of Appeals held a public hearing on October 18, 2007 at 7:00 p.m. in Memorial Hall, 1196 Main Street, Holden, MA on the Petition of Charles & Elaine Cowan for property located at 216 Brattle Street for a VARIANCE for relief from front yard setback requirements to add a covered front porch to the existing home.
Members of the Board in attendance: Ronald Spakauskas, Ronald Oslebo, Jack LaPrade, Roy Fraser and James Deignan.

Mr. Cowan gave an overview of the case. He is seeking a variance of 6.1 feet to add a front porch. The proposed porch will be within 23.9 feet from the front property line. He felt it would be a vast improvement over the existing entry.
