TOWN OF SUNAPEE
ZONING BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT
NOVEMBER 11, 2010
PRESENT: Alex Kish, Chairman; Charles Balyeat, Vice Chairman; Bill Larrow.
ABSENT: Ed Frothingham; Roger Landry, Zoning Administrator.
ALSO PRESENT: Rollo and Heather McWilliams.
Changes to the minutes of September 9 and October 14: The approval of minutes was deferred to the next meeting due to the fact that there were not enough voting members present.
CONTINUATION OF CASE 10-18, MAP 225 LOT 55, ROLLO AND HEATHER MCWILLIAMS, 5 POST OFFICE ROAD, SEEKING A VARIANCE OF ARTICLE III SECTION 3.10 TO REDUCE STATE ROAD FRONT SETBACK FROM 75’ TO 50’ TO ALLOW CONSTRUCTION OF AN ADDITION TO AN EXISTING HOME.
Chairman Kish informed the applicant that, given the number of voting members present, three affirmative votes would be needed in order for the application to be approved. He gave the applicant the option of continuing the case until the next zoning board meeting. Ms. McWilliams stated she would like the case to be heard this evening.
Ms. McWilliams reminded the board that the main issue was the location of the center of the right of way. She spoke with the Department of Transportation and received a letter stating that the center of the concrete median is considered the center of the roadway. Ms. McWilliams submitted this letter to the board (see attached).
Mr. Larrow commented that there would be little difference in the distance from the existing house to the center of the road and the addition to the center of the road.
Chairman Kish reviewed the five criteria for granting a variance; the board was in agreement that a variance was appropriate in this case.
Motion by Mr. Larrow, seconded by Mr. Balyeat, to approve a variance of Article III Section 3.10 to reduce state road front setback from 75’ to 50’ to allow construction of an addition to an existing home, Rollo and Heather McWilliams, 5 Post Office Road (see attachments). The motion passed unanimously.
Miscellaneous: A representative from Watermark Marine Construction was present to discuss the Sabatino property on Lovejoy Road. An application was not filed and the board directed the applicant to Mr. Landry.
The meeting was adjourned at 7:53.
Respectfully submitted,
Katie Richardson
