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by Brendan Collins for a project at 78 Tyler Road involving a substantial increase in restricted gross floor area, was withdrawn without prejudice after Kaplan Amour noted the stormwater and board of health applications were both incomplete, the second time in two years Collins had come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.
