Weston ZBA Approves Love Lane Garage Replacement, Rejects Incomplete Tyler Road Application

WESTON — May 6, 2025 — Weston ZBA unanimously approves a farm garage replacement while turning away a second application for incomplete filings. Acting Chair Stephen J. Larocque presided over Tuesday's Zoom meeting, joined by members Wendy Kaplan Amour and Laura Mintz, voting 3-0 to grant a special permit to Diana Chaplin, trustee of Chase Meadows Farm Trust, to replace a deteriorating 1948 garage at 26 Love Lane with a same-footprint structure designed for farm equipment and woodworking use. A second petition, filed by Brendan Collins for a project at 78 Tyler Road involving a substantial increase in restricted gross floor area, was withdrawn without prejudice after Kaplan Amour noted the stormwater and board of health applications were both incomplete — the second time in two years Collins had come before the board with the same gap. The board also flagged an inconsistency between Collins's supporting documents, which referenced a variance, and his application, which sought only a special permit.
