REPRESENTATIONS TO BOARD:
1. The applicant requested a special permit to allow the construction of a single family dwelling on a parcel that is partially located in the Agricultural-Recreation District.
. 2. The 60,354 square foot hammerhead lot, which is located at 92 South Street, was subdivided through an Approval Not Required Plan signed by the Planning Board on December 12, 1998.
3. The three-bedroom, split-level house, when completed, will be 116 feet off the road. The house will be located entirely in the Residence A portion of the lot.
4. The public hearing, which was originally scheduled for January 14, 1999 at 7:15 p.m., was rescheduled to January 21, 1999 at 7:30 p.m. as Town Hall was closed by the Selectmen’s office on January 14 at 3:00 p.m. due to a snowstorm. All abutters were notified of the change of date and a notice was published in The Enterprise.
5. The Planning Board indicated in a January 7, 1999 memorandum that it was of the opinion that the lot does not conform to the Hanson Zoning Bylaws and did not recommend that the permit be granted.
6. A memorandum dated January 20, 1999 was received from the Treasurer/Collector’s office indicating that the current owner and McDevitt have entered into a payment agreement for real estate taxes.
7. The public hearing on Lot 2 of Lot 30F and a public hearing scheduled for 7:00 p.m. on a request by McDevitt for a special permit for construction of a single family dwelling on Lot 1 of Lot 30F were held jointly due to the similarity of content.
8. Abutters in attendance expressed concerns with drainage and traffic in the area but were not opposed to the construction of two new dwellings on the subdivided lot.
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;

c) Adequacy of utilities and other public services;
