Weston ZBA Unanimously Approves Three Special Permits in One Night

WESTON -- April 28, 2026, Weston's Zoning Board of Appeals unanimously approved all three special permit applications at its April 28 meeting. Chair Stephen J. Larocque led a three-member panel that cleared a new home for Jinshan Shen at 44 Page Road with a 3-0 vote, accepting a confirmed lot area of 1.16 acres and a resulting RGFA of 13.5 percent after the applicant resolved a survey dispute over a rear brook boundary. Acting Chair Jane Fisher Carlson then led a second panel, joined by Wendy Kaplan Armour and Laura Mintz, that approved an open porch, outdoor fireplace, and spa terrace at 192 Meadowbrook Road for Brian and Allison Elworthy, conditioned on a prohibition against any future permanent framing or storm and screen panels beyond the mechanized roll-down screens the owners committed to use; the existing home already carries an RGFA of 14.9 percent. The panel then approved a widened front portico at 58 Juniper Road for Brett and Sarah Deware, a three-foot encroachment matching the existing front steps, with two abutter letters of support on file and no conditions attached.
