MOTION by C. Palmer, SECOND by W. Pattison to approve application #07-006 per ZEO memo of 11/16/07 for the variances requested to the following sections to construct a new SEASONAL Single-Family Residence:
1. Section 505.1: To build on a lot that does not have frontage on a Town approved Road or State Highway.

3. Section 507.1-b: Requesting a variance of 36.31 feet to the minimum 100’ lot width requirement of the Seasonal Use Overlay Area Zone. (63.39’)
4. Section 507.1-c: Requesting a variance of 100’ to the minimum 100’ frontage requirement on a Town or State Highway.
For the following reasons(s):
A. A strict application of the Regulations unreasonably restricts the use of the applicants’ property for permitted uses allowed in the zone and causes an unusual hardship unnecessary to carrying out the general purpose of the zoning plan.
B. The variance is in harmony with the general purpose and intent of the Regulations.
C. A valid hardship has been demonstrated: The lot pre-dates Zoning and more contiguous land cannot be purchased to make the lot conforming.
MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
