Goldberg to add approximately 1,165 sq. ft. of living space to the existing single-family residence with 5,125 sq. ft. of living space.  The total area of living space on the 4.2-acre parcel with the addition will be 6,290 sq. ft.  The maximum allowable area by Special Permit is 6,300 sq. ft.  The owner is appealing the following testimony and special condition:  Testimony:  No heavy equipment shall be used.  Special Condition:  1.  Before a Building Permit is issued the applicant shall provide for approval by the ZBA Chair or Vice Chair a plan to add an array of photo-voltaic panels on the property.

DISCUSSION MICHAEL BARCLAY FOR CHRISTINA LURIE; Article 11 Section 11.6A2b(i)a;       2 Gosnold’s Way; Map 14 Lot 1:  Request a change to the Special Permit issued on April 22, 2015.  The applicant would like to tear down and re-build the house from scratch – instead of renovating the existing structure.  The approved plan was to renovate an existing 2-bedroom single-family dwelling within the Shore Zone of the Vineyard Sound Coastal District.  A screened porch will be built on the existing deck and a bedroom will be relocated to the northeast. The footprint area will not change.  The existing well house will also be removed from the shore zone.  The following special conditions were added:  1. The Board of Health shall approve the revised floor and septic plans and a new well plan before obtaining a Building Permit.  2.  The Conservation Commission shall approve the plan before obtaining a Building Permit.  3.  The screened porch shall never be enclosed or converted into year-round living space as long as it remains in the shore zone.  4.  The existing well house shall be removed and abandoned.  Is this an inconsequential change?

DISCUSSION STEPHEN MERKEL POOL EQUIPMENT; NSTAR GREEN ENERGY; 17 Howell Lane; Map 27 Lot 3:  Mr. Merkel plans to change from NStar green energy credits to a comparable program such as Cape Light Compact or another because the NStar program expires July 1, 2015.  Mr. Merkel also asks if the separate meter can be isolated for all the pool equipment only -- instead of his entire house as he originally offered and the ZBA permitted.
