NEW BUSINESS: Review for North Shore Bank
29 South Main Street
Newton, NH 03858
(#011-05-023)
Mr. Meserve, serving as the representative of the Bank, explained the request for variance.
The Bank wishes to add an egress for the second floor of the existing structure. The proposed addition does not meet the existing dimensional requirements for the 65’ center of road setback from a public way (Grebenstein Drive). The Bank is located on the corner of 2 public ways.
Discussion and reading of plans. The measurements provided were not as needed. The Board needs the number of feet and inches for which the Applicant is requesting a variance, not the number of feet that exist (ex. Applicant needs to be 65’ from center of road, and has 40’1”, then the variance requested should be 24’9”. This measurement needs to be taken from the point closest to the center of the road, be it from the roof, the overhang, whatever that point may be). This needs to be completed in the written request as well as on the plan. .
Mr. Meserve states that the required changes will be made before he returns next month.
No other new business (Nothing more from Terex, requesting a sign) or old business.
At 7:58 pm, a motion to adjourn is made by Mr. Kozec. Second by Mr.Connolly. All in favor. Motion carries.
NEXT MEETING will be Tuesday, March 15, 2016.
Respectfully submitted,
Jeannette S. Clark, secretary
