REPRESENTATIONS TO BOARD:
1. Speaking for the applicant, Attorney John C. Webster III of Hanover requested a special permit to allow the use of a mobile home for 90 days during construction of a permanent home at 690 High Street.
2. The Board said that the mobile home would have to be situated on the site within the required setbacks for a hammerhead lot.
3. Webster told the Board that the mobile home will run parallel with the street rather than perpendicular as indicated on the plan submitted but in the same location.
4. Abutters Joseph and Jean Patts of 47 Big Rock Lane asked the maximum length of time the mobile home could be on site and were told the Bylaw allows use of a mobile home for one year with a Special Permit with a provision for a six-month extension.
5. Because the applicant was only applying for 90 days, the Patts were told, a new hearing would be required for any longer period and as abutters they would receive notification.
6. The Planning Board offered no comment on the proposal.
FINDINGS:
1. With regard to the Special Permit the Board took into consideration each of the following:
a) Social, economic, or community needs which are served by the proposal;
b) Traffic flow and safety;
c) Adequacy of utilities and other public services;
d) Neighborhood character and social structures;
e) Impacts of the natural environment;
f) Potential fiscal impact.
