Weston ZBA Continues French Road Driveway Case, Approves Summer Street Addition

WESTON — October 25, 2022 — Weston ZBA continues disputed 7 French Road driveway case, approves Summer Street addition. Acting Chair Alan Rose and members Sujit Satoli and Steve Marrock voted unanimously to continue Weston French LLC's amended special permit hearing to November 28, after engineer Bill Doyle presented three schematic driveway options but the board's consulting civil engineer, John Field, wrote in a same-day email that "there is not enough information for me to determine if the proposed work can actually be installed." Abutter Dr. Agnella complained he had not been consulted in the design process as the board had directed and lacked his lawyer and consultant at the meeting. In a separate 3-0 vote, the board approved a special permit for homeowner Andrea Testa's modest addition at 66 Summer Street — a garage expansion, screened porch, and bedroom extension on a circa-1920s colonial — after architect Joseph Fournier produced a letter from Historical Commission Co-Chair Phyllis Halperin confirming the commission was "not recommending further delay."
