Dracut Zoning Board approves variance for 55 Gloria Avenue addition. Vice Chair Scott Mallory and members Joseph DiCarlo, Nicholas Jarek, Warren Hunt, and Edward Brown unanimously granted a side yard setback variance to applicant Joseph Coakley for a two-story structure combining first-floor garage and upper-level living space, conditioned on submission of corrected site plans to the Building Department before permit issuance and registry recording. The Board identified the angled lot line as qualifying hardship, rejecting personal circumstances as valid variance grounds under state law.
