Board considers duplex construction and property subdivision variances in Chicopee.

The board will first hear a request from Meera Nadeem for a variance at Donohue Rd. to reduce required frontage and lot area to allow for the construction of a duplex.

Following that, the board will address two tabled items from July 8 regarding a property subdivision by VLASNYK, LLC. These include a request to allow an existing two-family dwelling to remain on an undersized lot at 25-27 State St. and a request to create a new single-family building lot on Empire St.
