OLD LYME PLANNING COMMISSION
SPECIAL MEETING
NOVEMBER 17, 2011
PRESENT WERE: Robert McCarthy, Steven Ross and Alternate Todd Machnik seated for Harold Thompson.
Vice Chairman McCarthy called the meeting to order at 5:00 p.m.
LOT LINE MODIFICATION – DAWN ROOT – 115 & 121 SHORE ROAD
The applicant, Dawn Root and her representative Robert Simoni were present to discuss the proposal. The commission received correspondence from Attorney Edward Cassella, Ann Brown Zoning Enforcement Officer and Ron Rose, Sanitarian.
Simoni stated that he received a call from Ann Brown yesterday indicating she had reviewed the plans and that the plan needed to be revised in order to comply with the Old Lyme Zoning Regulations. Brown stated the plan as presented did not comply with Section 18.3.8 Location-Parking. She noted the northern property line of Parcel 2 needed to be modified to allow for at least 12’ between the parking area and the boundary line.
Simoni noted he had revised the plans and it now reflects a distance of 12.5 feet.
Cassella indicated in his memo dated November 17, 2011 to the commission he had no issues with the legal documentation but noted that when the new map is prepared to comply with the parking setback if it contains a revision date, the revision date should be added to the map title in the legal description.
Ron Rose indicated in his letter dated November 17, 2011 that the revised plan dated 11-16-2011 is approved for the lot line modification.
The commission reviewed the plans and asked the applicant to point out both the well and septic locations. It was noted that there is a shared well on the property. Robert Simoni also stated the parking revision did not impact any required zoning setbacks.
