September 5, 2012
Landuse Meeting Room
Members present: Chair Ethan Berg, (EB); Cliff Snyder, (CS); Robert Fuster, (RF); and Robert Fuster Jr., (RFjr); Ned Douglas, ND
Staff present: Land Use Clerk Peggy Ammendola, (PA)
Anthony and Carolann Patterson, 142 New Lenox Road, (Map 28, Parcel 22). Special Permit under Section 3.3.5 to allow stairway and landing, or in the alternative a variance under Section 3.3.4. On June 19, 2012 it was determined that there was not a quorum for the June 20th meeting. Petitioner requested to continue to September 5, 2012.
Making the presentation was Mr. and Mrs. Anthony Patterson. MA was present as well and gave a brief review of the application. Mr. and Mrs. Patterson completed the work without realizing that they had to have permits. The existing stairs were rotten, so it was necessary to replace. The new access was created to allow relatives with handicaps to enter easier.
After discussion, the Board determined that this application was a special permit and not a variance.
EB made a motion to grant the petition and RF seconded the motion. The Board voted to approve 5-0.
Jan Plager, 45 Tucker Street, (Map 44, Parcel 19), SP under Section 3.3.5 to allow 19’x13’ deck connected to the back of the existing house and to rebuild the existing front deck and steps.
Making the presentation was Jan Plager and her contractor Arthur Jackson. The proposed deck will increase the non-conforming nature of the structure.
EB made a motion to approve the petition as presented and RFjr seconded the motion. The Board voted to approve 5-0.
Ed and Jane Costa, 8 Barberry Lane, (Map 44, Parcel 6). SP under Section 3.3.5 to allow 12’x 20’ deck connected to the back of the existing house.
Making the presentation Don Far was the contractor who presented the application. Also present were Mr. and Mrs. Costa.
EB made a motion to approve the petition as presented. ND seconded the motion and the Board voted to approve 5-0.

Peggy Ammendola
