RE: Zoning Analysis – 227 Wood Street
I have reviewed the construction documentation for 227 Wood Street, dated May 27, 2026, and have
determined that the proposed two two-family dwellings meet the zoning requirements for the Traditional
Residential (TR) zoning district and do not require any variances to be constructed as currently proposed. Any
changes to the proposed use or building envelope may result in the need to attain a variance. The complete
zoning analysis is attached. Please feel free to contact me with any questions or if you need any additional
information.
