Case 10-14 Richard Traver Steiner, 22 Buttonball Road
A Motion was made by K. Kotzan, seconded by J. St. Germain to GRANT the necessary variances to allow removal of a structure (room) built on deck and replace with foundation and permanent structure, as per plans submitted. Discussion: the roof line is not to change it is to match other roofline, replacing what already exists. No further discussion and a vote was taken: In favor: S. Stutts, J. McQuade, K. Kotzan, J. St. Germain, M. Ossmann In opposition: None Abstaining: None The motion passed unanimously. 5-0-0
The hardship is the oversized lot and the house was built too close to the property line in 1930 and the existing addition was built without a foundation. The looks of the structure will greatly improve, it will not change the impact on the neighbors, it will be a one bedroom house and will be built in accordance with the plans.
Case 10-11 (a) Appeal of Leonard J. Corto, Manager of On the Beach, LLC
A Motion was made by K. Kotzan, seconded by J. St. Germain, to UPOLD all three (3) aspects of the Cease and Desist Order as presented for the Appeal of Leonard J. Corto, Manager of On the Beach, LLC. No discussion and a vote was taken: In favor: S. Stutts, J. McQuade, K. Kotzan, J. St. Germain, M. Ossmann In opposition: None Abstaining: None The motion passed unanimously. 5-0-0

McQuade to approve the September 27, 2010 special meeting minutes with the following corrections: delete Kip Kotzan as present and voting, he was absent; page 1, last line “deep with a garage in the back corner”, it should read “a bathroom in the back corner” and on top of page 3 “Two bedrooms will remain, applicants will to interior upgrades” change “to” to “do”.
