The public has opportunities to shape policy this week as various Haverhill boards meet. In the interest of transparency in government, WHAV provides this list of upcoming meetings every week on air and online.
The Haverhill Zoning Board of Appeals will hear variance requests Wednesday which, if granted, would allow construction of two new single-family homes and a duplex.
The board continues a public hearing on a request by Robert F. Ferreira Jr. and Judie M. Polcari for a lot variance for their property on Liberty Street. The pair seek to construct a single-family home on the parcel which is 25,675 square feet where zoning calls for 80,000 square feet. They also require a frontage variance as the lot has 150 feet where 200 feet is the required minimum.
The board also hears a request from Tewksbury-based RKACO to create a new building lot for a single-family home at 54 Jordan St. The lot would be 5,640 square feet where 7,500 square feet is required. This would leave an existing house on the property on 6,000 square feet, or 1,500 square feet less than the minimum requirement. The company is managed by Robert K. Ahern and Russell F. Ahern
Centro de Apoyo Familiar is seeking to build a two-unit, three-story townhouse at 38 Curtis St. in a zone where two and a half stories is the maximum. Additional variances needed would allow a lot size of 6,415 square feet, while 9,000 square feet is required as well as front and rear set-backs.
