Definitive Plan Submission
Tom DiPersio, Jr. submitted the definitive plan for Oak Ridge Estates.
Discussion with Bill Glynn
Mr. Glynn attempted to submit an ANR for his client Tom Bacon of 48 Lakeside Ave, regarding Babick Lake Lane. The Board did not have this item on the agenda and so elected to allow Mr. Glynn to submit it for the next available agenda on November 16, 2004 at 8:15 p.m.
7:45 ANR Discussion: Main Street
Present: Arthur Redding, Applicant; Lawrence Norris, Acting ZBA Chairman
Mr. D’Amelio has visited the site. Lots 1 and 2 were one lot when Mr. Redding bought the properties. He is attempting to give sufficient frontage to a lot at 17 Woodrow Street in order to create a buildable lot. Ms. Burke asked if the ZBA was approached for a variance for the 6 inches on the other side of the lot, as an alternative to this undesirable ANR plan. Mr. de Bakker questioned whether the intent of the by-law is to allow subdivisions like this. The Board suggested that he file with the ZBA for a variance. Mr. D’Amelio requested to be added to the ZBA agenda. Mr. Norris added this issue to the ZBA’s agenda at 7:15 p.m. on October 14, 2004.
8:00 Discussion: Bella’s Touch-Free Car Wash
Present: No one was present from Bella’s Touch Free Car Wash
The Board noted that the intent of the island is to prevent left turns into or from the car wash at 176-182 Washington Street.
Jennifer Burke, seconded by Peter de Bakker, moved to request of the Building Commissioner that the temporary occupancy permit for Bella’s Touch Free Car Wash be rescinded until the island is brought into compliance with the order of conditions.
Vote: 4-0-1, Unanimous.
