Case 13-05 C – Sharon Griffin Trustee, 113 Hillcrest Road
A Motion was made by A. Sibley, seconded by R. Smith to GRANT. The plan should be accommodated by the necessary variances that they have asked for in order to do this plan and it is as close to what can be done with all of the constraints and the regulations that have been applied to a very sensitive piece of property. The proposal is consistent with the neighborhood and is also consistent with all applicable coastal policies and makes all reasonable measures to avoid adverse impacts and the CAM is approved. Discussion: K. Kotzan, a little to ambitious and no adequate justification for the expansion on the side. No further discussion and a vote was taken. In favor: A. Sibley, R. Smith In opposition: S. Stutts, K. Kotzan, M. Stone Abstaining: None The Motion failed to pass. 2-3-0 It takes four affirmative votes to grant a variance.
