Appl. #2505-01 10.2 to allow a 15required) at 194 Carriage Drive, A-30 zone.
Mr. Ingalls presented the application. He would like to put an addition on the eastern side of his house, however it would encroach 10
His hardship is the zoning restriction, which had been placed on his property, is no longer valid.
No one from the public spoke in favor or opposition to this appeal.
The Board members had the following questions:
Had he tried to acquire the land from the town, negating the need for a variance? The applicant stated at one time he had inquired, but it was many years ago.
Why was the applicant looking for such a large variance when the addition would only extend approximately 10 feet into the yard? The applicant responded that it was at the suggestion of the Planning Department that he request the 35 foot variance so that the entire building line would be like that of a side yard in that zone. Michele Lipe, Assistant Director of Planning commented that it was probably suggested so that any future uses, such as a shed placement, would not require a variance from this Board.
The Board expressed concern for granting a variance for anything more that was needed. They also felt the applicant should approach the town again about purchasing the land.
With no further questions, this public hearing was closed
2. Appl. #2506-01
Mr. McClellan started the presentation for the applicant. He distributed copies of his credentials (As a Sanitarian for the State) to the Board members (see Attachment A). He spoke of his daughter
Megan McCellan spoke on her behalf. She indicated her plan to raise the goats and care for them at their property. She hoped her younger brother, who was also in 4-H, would actively help her. She submitted a letter from the principal of Timothy Edwards School, (see Attachment C).
The chair asked for public comment.
Mrs. McClellan, mother of the Megan, spoke of Megan
Katie McClellan, sister of Megan, echoed her mother
The Board then stated their concerns.
It was the consensus of the Board that this type of application was more appropriately addressed through an application to the Planning and Zoning Commission for a temporary and conditional permit.
With no further questions, the public participation portion of this appeal closed.

No one from the public spoke in favor or opposition to this appeal.
