REID SILVA FOR SUNRISE CAMP LIMITED PARTNERSHIP; Article 6 Section 6.6; 26 Greenhouse Lane; Map 33 Lots 34, 35, 36, 37, 71: Ms. Weldon opened the public hearing at 5:06 PM. Mr. Silva reviewed a revised site plan dated 8/13/13 and explained he is requesting a Special Permit to reduce the dimensional setback requirements of the zoning bylaw from 50 feet down to 30 feet from the lot line for the construction of a new dwelling (+/- 1,244 sq. ft. footprint with a roof ridge height of approximately 15 feet above mean, natural grade) and the relocation of 3 existing structures (+/- 513 sq. ft. total footprint) the closest of which will be 21 feet from the lot line. The total footprint area of the current structures is 1,671 sq. ft. and the area
of the proposed new and relocated structures is approximately 1,760 sq. ft. He explained this is the fourth relocation of the buildings since the early 1900’s caused by continual erosion of the coastal bank. He pointed out the large wetland between the coastal bank and the proposed area for the relocated structures. The family also has an easement on the Darling’s property for a driveway to the new location. The Conservation Commission has approved the plan with conditions.
Ms. Weldon read the Site Review Committee report for the record and the four letters of consent from the abutting neighbors whose property is within 100 feet of the structures – Linda Shapiro, Eric and Evelyn Newman, Peter and Odila Darling and Michael Walsdorf. After brief discussion and with no comment from the public a motion was made to close the hearing at 5:20 PM. The motion was seconded and unanimously approved. A subsequent motion was made to approve the revised site plan as presented and dated 8/13/13. The motion was seconded. In discussion the Board commented on how sensible the plan is and admired its scale as being consistent with the character of the neighborhood and Town. The motion came to a vote and passed unanimously with five in favor.
ADMINISTRATION: The July 24, 2013 meeting minutes were reviewed and approved as presented with four in favor and one abstention (Mr. Christy).
The next meeting will be held on Wednesday, October 23, 2013 @ 5:00 PM with site visits on October 22 @ 3:00 PM. The November meeting will take place on Wednesday, November 20 @ 5:00 PM – instead of November 27 – because of the Thanksgiving holiday. The December meeting is tentatively scheduled for either December 11 or December 18 @ 5:00 PM.
With no further business to conduct the meeting adjourned at 5:38 PM.
Respectfully submitted by Chuck Hodgkinson, CAS.
