11/12-40C B Diane & Richard Pare seek a variance of Par. 10.7.1 and 10.7.2 (nonconformity enlargement/change) and Par. 24.5.3 (sideline setback/15' required/11.9') proposed of the Zoning Regulations to permit interior renovations, additional bedroom and second floor addition of approximately 243 s.f. on property located at 25 West Shore Drive, Map No. 001, Lot No. 101.
Discussion with respect to the public hearing that closed this evening. During the presentation given by the applicant’s agent, he summarized the variances requested, two of those variances were not on the application, thus not on the legal notice. The applicants were told that if further variances were required, they would have to reapply.
A Motion was made by D. Alexander, seconded by A. Stillman to GRANT Application 11/12-40C, Diane & Richard Pare. There is no change to the footprint of the building, it will add to the architectural balance of the building. The hardship concerning the intrusions on the setbacks is because the building was not built square on the property. The only variances being granted are for the sideline setback on the southeast and the changes to a nonconforming property. The CAM application is approved as it is consistent with all applicable coastal policies and makes all reasonable measures to avoid adverse impacts. No discussion and a vote was taken: In favor: R. McCall, A. Stillman, D. Alexander, P. Broadhurst, R. McIntyre
Opposed: None Abstaining: None The motion passed unanimously. 5-0-0
11/12-42 B Francis & Sharon Henderson seek a variance of Par. 10.7.1 and 10.7.2 (nonconformity enlargement/change), Par. 24.5.1 as modified by 68.1.2(B)4 (narrow street setback/35’ required/18.0’ on east side) and Par. 24.5.1 (front yard setback/25’ required/22.0' proposed) of the Zoning Regulations to permit second floor addition and enclosure of space between breezeway and house on property located at 26 Neptune Drive (Cornfield Point), Map No. 4, Lot No. 224.
The Board discussed with the applicant’s agent the materials that were to be submitted with the application in accordance with the directions outlined on the ZBA application. The Board members rely on having architectural plans, floor plans and elevations to review prior to the meeting and when out inspecting the properties. The consensus of the Board was that they did not have sufficient information to continue the discussion on the application without the materials.
A Motion was made by R. McCall, seconded by D. Alexander to CONTINUE the Public Hearing on Application 11/12-42, Francis & Sharon Henderson to the July 11, 2012 Regular Meeting. The continuance is so that the applicants can provide the necessary material, i.e. elevations, floor plans and architectural, to the Board for review in order to make an informed decision. No discussion and a vote was taken: In favor: R. McCall, A. Stillman, D. Alexander, P. Broadhurst, R. McIntyre Opposed: None Abstaining: None The motion passed unanimously. 5-0-0
