15 Talford Garage Structure
This orphaned structure was formerly the garage/rental unit for 172 Caroline
Street. Due to an approved subdivision, the garage is now part of our
adjoining property (see plat plan). The new Caroline Street address has
yet to be assigned.
In addition to the base structure, a storage shed has been added to the
rear(north) of the structure and a non-compliant entry staircase/platform to
the non-compliant apartment on the west side of the structure. The overall
condition of the garage is very poor and may be structurally unsound. (see
photos)
The 1-bedroom apartment over the garage is not legal and its removal has
been required by the Planning Board…
From the Zoning Board of Appeals approval…
There is no record of this garage being a part of 172 Caroline Street or 15
Talford in the County database.
Property contains friable asbestos
Proximity to Talford St. contributes to parking congestion and thru traffic on
a narrow street especially in the winter. Our proposal includes moving a
new detached garage back from Talford Place that compliments the new
home design. This will eliminate the property line violation and honor
required setbacks. (see proposed structure placement).
We feel the garage has been debased through the addition of the 1
bedroom/1 bath apartment, attached shed, and the placement of the
structure. Arching over all these issues is the terrible condition of the
property and therefore we are asking for permission to replace this
structure.
