New - 67 little Tree Lane – James Hastie Jr.
Variance to alter a pre-existing non-conforming parcel
Sitting In: BS, BW, AP, JD and PG
JK explained the application was before the board to alter a pre-existing non -conforming parcel. There are 2 parcels in question; 64 Little Tree Lane which has a single family home and a pool, which actually goes onto the property of 67 Little Tree Lane. They are looking to move the parcel line, rotate it, which will reduce the lot area of 67 Little Tree Lane, making it further non-conforming. The applicant, Mr. Hastie sold a small portion of land to the past owner; Mr. O’Malley so he could put an in ground pool in as there was no other location for it due to the topography of the land. At that time apparently Mr. O’Malley never filed the plans and P & S in land court. In 2001, Jeff Senechal purchased the home. Mr. Senechal was in attendance as the applicant, Mr. Hastie was ill.
The error was discovered in 2008. A new plan was made up showing the boundary, which they thought corrected the problem. Then in 2016 when the Senechal’s were going to sell it was discovered that the paperwork was once again never recorded in Land Court. So in order to correct this issue a variance was recommended since the bylaws have changed since the original sale of the land. The hardship is to 67 Little Tree Lane not 64 Little Tree Lane. JK stated that relief must be granted first and then corrected in land court; the reduction is 32,000 to 30,000. JK stated relief must be granted for a variance first and then corrected in land court. If granted the lot line adjustment would increase 2,000 square feet for 64 Little Tree Lane and decrease 2,000 square feet for 67 Little Tree Lane. The required lot area is 40,000 square feet to be a conforming lot. The board felt there was a hardship due to the topography of the land and that it
could be granted without detriment to the public good and was keeping within the character of the neighborhood. The property owner did sign off on the application but he is not in attendance as he is sick. The board questioned if they should make any decisions without him in attendance. JK said he would speak with him directly before any documentation is put forward. The board agreed to that.
BS motion to close.
BW second.
All in favor to close.
AP motion to approve the variance as requested subject to the discussion between JK and the owner.
BS second.
All in favor to approve the request for the variance as requested to further non-conform a non- conforming parcel of land by 2000 square feet of lot area.
JK will draft the decision and speak with the owner before putting it forth to the Town Clerk.
