Case 11-12 – Joseph Ryan, 3 Sea Spray Road
A Motion was made by K. Kotzan, seconded by J. St. Germain to GRANT the necessary variances to build as per plans submitted with the condition that instead of a request for a variance of 22 feet for the rear setback off of Brookside Avenue, make it a request for a 17 foot variance request, a diminishment of 5 feet on the variance request. No further discussion and a vote was taken. In favor: S. Stutts, J. McQuade, K. Kotzan, J. St. Germain In opposition: None Abstaining: R. Moll The motion passed unanimously. 4-0-1
Reason to grant: It is a large lot but the placement of the garage on the lot, the three street setbacks and the topography are the hardships along with maintaining a separating distance from the well. The applicant has reduced the variance request by 5 feet which makes it more conforming. It is within the intent of Zoning.
