TOM PIERCE FOR RICHARD LOCHRIDGE; 7:40 PM: Article 6, Section 6.6; 2 Stone Ridge; Map 25 Lots 130, 131: Mr. Rossi opened the public hearing at 7:40 PM. Mr. Pierce summarized the history of how the shed was built several years ago without any permits. He added that the Building Inspector insisted the shed receive the appropriate permits before he issues a building permit for another construction project. Mr. Rossi read four letters of consent from abutters. Two letters were from abutters within 100 feet of the shed – Messrs. Malkin and LoRusso. Mr. LoRusso’s letter of consent was contingent upon the relocation of the lot line for his roadway “Stone Ridge Road”. The other two letters of consent were from Messrs.
Davies and Koren – even though their lots are not located within 100 feet of the shed.
After much discussion Mr. Rossi said he was not inclined to grant approval until Mr. LoRusso’s lot line condition is resolved. There is consent from the other abutters within 100 feet of the shed – as outlined in the by-law. Mr. Pierce thanked the Board and asked for permission to continue the hearing to February 13, 2007 @ 7:25 PM to allow more time to satisfy Mr. LoRusso’s request.
