Case 10-04 Charles H. Larson, 1 Lake Drive
A Motion was made by K. Kotzan, seconded by J. McQuade, to GRANT the necessary variances to build as per plans submitted the 4’ wide ramp and allow this to be a permanent structure on the property with respect to Case 10-04 Charles H. Larson, 1 Lake Drive. No discussion and a vote was taken and the motion passed unanimously. 5-0-0
The hardship is the irregular topography on the property and the large rock outcroppings. The ramp will provide a safe access to the rear of the property and deck, it will not alter the character of the surrounding area. The ramp design will conform to the standards of the American Disability Act.
Case 10-05 John Szozdowski, 25 Connecticut Road
A Motion was made by K. Kotzan, seconded by J. McQuade, to DENY the application for variances, as per plans submitted with respect to Case 10-05 John Szozdowski, 25 Connecticut Road. No discussion and a vote was taken and the motion passed unanimously. 5-0-0
No exceptional difficulty or unusual hardship presented all houses in the area have the same problems, the height is dictated by the design, the massive roof design would dwarf other houses in the neighborhood and it is not within the intent of zoning.
Case 10-06 Francis and Sue Vesci, 46 Prospect Street
A Motion was made by K. Kotzan, seconded by F. Sadowski, to GRANT the necessary variance to build and 8’ x 10’ closet structure, as per plans submitted, with a roof that
does not exceed ten (10’) feet and whose eaves are equivalent in height to the exiting eaves and with the condition that the exterior wall of the existing house remain with the
only access being an interior doorway to the closet with respect to Case 10-06 Francis and Sue Vesci, 46 Prospect Street. No discussion and a vote was taken and the motion passed unanimously. 5-0-0
The hardship is the very small house, no other land available to increase the size of the lot, the need for storage and the design will not impact the neighborhood.
