Present: Beatrice Davis, Chairman; Jerry Dougherty IV and John Allen, Selectmen
- Dickie Variance #2011-06/V01-44 Selectmen discussed concerns regarding the Jackson Zoning Board of Adjustment’s arguments in reaching a decision to grant a variance was based on the premise pursuant to Section 2.2.3 of the Jackson Ordinance that volume increase is permitted when the change is dictated by safety considerations, snow disposal or building code requirements while not increasing interior livable space, when in fact, by raising the roof line will increase interior floor space which is not required by current State Building Codes for existing non-conforming buildings; and further, it is possible to provide a safe 2nd means of egress from the building to the ground without making the building more non-conforming into the prescribed setback.
The Board sited substantial errors with unverified statements of background and fact
presented by the applicant coupled with hardship standards not being met. Selectmen were
unanimous in requesting a re-hearing for a variance request.
Selectmen Dougherty motioned the Jackson Selectmen does hereby request a re-hearing
