New – Special Permit Request for Family Apartment

Mary Chaves explained in 2003 she bought this home. It has 2 kitchens which have always been used as one space. Her sister- in- law, Umbilina McDonald, moved in with them and at that time the whole house was open. She changed her work schedule and they would now like it to be a separate area. They are helping her out financially. There is currently the 2nd kitchen, one bedroom and a bathroom over their 2 car garage. (Photos were supplied) The current septic system meets the requirements as there is no increase in the amount of bedrooms.

295 Pulaski Boulevard – Kevin Bradley
Continuation for Special Permit to allow additional retail space
Sitting In: BS, AP, JD and BW
The applicant was in attendance with his Attorney, Joe Antonellis. JK explained that he has been in contact with them. They submitted a new plan. There is a multi-family on the property and a retail space that they want to divide. Attorney Antonellis explained the parking and the applicant will be going to the Planning Board for a Flexible Parking Permit. This plan shows the entrances, the curb cut is now at the multi-family and “no parking” signs have been put up as there had been parking on the street. The applicant is willing to beautify the area as they understand the town is seeking to upgrade the whole area. They would submit a landscape plan and would also be willing to return to the board when they know who their tenant would be. There are certain allowed retail uses so they must
follow the intensity of use schedule for that. The board felt the applicant was making good progress. They would try to get to the Planning Board on March 24th and then return to the ZBA with their landscape plan. The applicant requested a continuance to April 7, 2016 at 7:00 PM.
AP motion to allow the contuance as requested.
BW second.
All in favor to allow a continuance as requested.
