FINAL
Present for the Board of Appeals and attending the meeting were: Wendy Weldon, Frank LoRusso, Chris Murphy, Barbara Armstrong, Allison Burger and Chuck Hodgkinson. Also attending were Tom Carberry, Jan Burhman and Jen Jamgochian. Peter Knight and Russell Maloney were absent.
The meeting came to order at 5:00 PM. In Mr. Knight’s absence Mr. LoRusso was nominated to be acting Chair for the meeting. The nomination was seconded and unanimously approved. Mr. LoRusso appointed alternate Ms. Burger as a voting member for the evening’s agenda.
JAN BURHMAN DISCUSSION: Ms. Burhman thanked the Board for its time. She explained that the Board of Health just reviewed a difficult case that involved the complete re-development of a sensitive parcel of land. She explained that she is meeting with all of the Town’s planning and permitting boards with the goal of establishing a protocol for a joint review of certain large re-development proposals. The ZBA agreed that property turnover and re-development is having a significant impact on the Town’s character and gave its support to the cause and initiative.
TOM CARBERRY FOR KENNETH BAUM; Article 4 Section 4.2A1; 6 Black Point Road; Map 17 Lot 24: Mr. LoRusso opened the public hearing at 5:18 PM. Mr. Carberry summarized the site plan dated 7/15/10 and the elevations dated 7/19/10 for a 799 sq. ft., 3-bedroom guesthouse with a roof ridge height of approximately 22’ 7” above mean natural grade. Mr. LoRusso read the Board of Health memo explaining its conditional approval of the septic plan provided a potable well water test is performed and approved by the Board of Health.
The site visit was discussed. After brief discussion a motion was made to close the hearing at 5:29 PM. The motion was seconded and unanimously approved. A subsequent motion was made to approve the plans as presented with the following conditions: 1. The area over the deck will never be closed in or screened in. 2. The results of the water tests meet the Board of Health requirements and are approved before obtaining a building permit. The motion was seconded. In discussion of the motion Mr. Murphy asked if a de-nitrifying septic system was considered because the property is within the Tisbury Great Pond watershed. He also asked how the owner proposes to ease the additional traffic pressure this guesthouse will place on Quansoo Road. He added these two issues are not
within the ZBA’s jurisdiction and cannot influence its decision. Mr. Carberry commented the septic plan has been conditionally approved by the Board of Health and the owners are avid bicyclists. With no further discussion the motion came to a vote and passed unanimously with five in favor.
LEV WLODYKA AND JEN JAMGOCHIAN; Article 6 Section 6.9; Map 13 Lot 43.3; # 4 Beech Grove: Mr. LoRusso pointed out to Ms. Jamgochian that only four of the eligible voting members for her continued hearing are present tonight. This would require a unanimous vote of four in favor for a motion to pass. Ms. Jamgochian thanked the Board and requested a continuance to the August 25th meeting @ 5:25 pm to provide more time to conclude the youth lot negotiations – one way or the other. A subsequent motion was made to accept the request. The motion was seconded and voted unanimously with four in favor – members LoRusso, Weldon, Burger and Murphy.
ADMINISTRATION: The meeting minutes for June 23 were reviewed. A motion was made to approve the minutes as presented. The motion was seconded and approved by consensus.
The draft pool bylaw amendment will be discussed at the August 25th meeting.
With no further business to conduct the meeting adjourned at 6:14 PM.
Respectfully submitted by Chuck Hodgkinson, CAS.
