The church will only use this as a temporary fix, the church is asking for two years with the temporary classroom. Plans are in the works for construction of an addition or another building.

The Board was in agreement that this would be considered as an addition and meets the zoning.  It would need to meet safety codes that are imposed by the building inspector and needs to be reviewed in one year.

Letter will be sent to the Building Inspector.

Mr. Fillion presented plans of Map 4, Lot 168 he would like to move his business to this area.

The Board is in agreement he needs to go through site review as this is not a home occupation and may turn into multi use business if he rents the house also. He will need to follow site review checklist and regulations, get state approvals for driveway and septic because this is a new business.
