Chair, Mike Russo called the meeting to order at 7:05 PM and read the first case. Mr. Russo explained that Ms. Winona was seated for Mr. Landry. Mr. Landry let Mrs. Sears know that he would recuse himself from Mr. Smith’s case due to a professional relationship. Mr. Landry is the Surveyor of this property before the Board.
Case 09-03-SE Application from Nelson Smith for a Special Exception to Article VI, Sections A.2, to allow an existing building’s front corner to be 46’from front property line and existing back deck to be 46’ from side property line, whereas the 50 feet is required. The lot in question is located at 91 McCrillis Road, identified as Tax Map 25 Lot 16-2, and is owned by Nelson E. Smith Sr.
The Board reviewed the plans and Mr. Smith explained that it was discovered that after granting the 20’ property line back lot subdivision (April ’08) the corner of the deck (and later the front corner of the home) was within the 50’ setback. He noted that granting this Special Exception wouldn’t harm anyone. He had discussed with the Planning Board trimming off the deck to meet the setback, but with the front of the house also in the setback, he felt it was best to apply to the ZBA. Alternates that were discussed were noted not to be realistic; moving the house/deck. The Board had no questions for Mr. Smith. The Board reviewed the Special Exception criteria and Mr. Smith’s answers, as well as RSA 674:17 (I).
Mr. Russo noted that the Special Exception form should reflect the criteria. Mrs. Sears will send the form for Mr. Russo to edit.
MOTION by Mr. Danais to approve case 09-03-SE Nelson Smith for a Special Exception to Article VI, Sections A.2.
SECOND by Ms. Winona
VOTE 5-Aye. 0- Opposed – 0-Abstained MOTION PASSED
The Board explained the 30 day appeal process. Mr. Smith thanked the Board.
Mr. Smith will call Mrs. Sears for a date to return to the Planning Board.
Approval of Minutes
The Board tabled the minutes.
Training/Budget
Mr. Russo briefly discussed recent training sessions and made training materials available to those members who would like to review them. It was also announced that there is additional LGC training in November.
Members were given copies of the 2010 proposed budget. Mr. Russo noted the only increase was in the training line item. He explained that there are many members who lack seniority and major changes in recent court findings that must be kept up with.
He again noted that he will update the SE form, as discussed earlier.
MOTION by Mr. John Morin to adjourn the meeting.
SECOND by Mr. Danais
VOTE 5- Aye. 0- Opposed – 0-Abstained MOTION PASSED
Respectfully Submitted,
Lisa L. Sears
