Front-yard parking variance at 28 Barrett Place
A Barrett Place couple wants to add one off-street parking space in front of their house, which city code normally prohibits. Their proposal uses permeable grass pavers and includes sidewalk repair, and they argue nearly every home nearby already has two or more off-street spaces. The outcome could influence how the board treats similar front-yard parking requests in Beacon's residential districts.
