On January 22, 2024, my father passed away and left an inheritance of his classic car and his boat, plus many other items, lawn mower, lawn equipment, etc. which is was keeping everything in a 24 x24 garage until I sold his house in June 2025. I had to rent a 20 x 20 storage unit at Boston Storage at the cost of $375.00 a month. This is why I am asking the Town for a variance to build on my existing garage 10 foot off the front and 15 foot off the side and an attic so I can have adequate amount of storage. So, I can store everything on my property so that these items will be weather safe and secure. Thank you, Michael Wozniak.
