PUBLIC HEARINGS: Case # 07-2. Joseph and Carol Maraldo. Map # 148. Lot # 24. Seeking a Variance from Art. III. 3:40 C. To reduce the lakefront setback from 50’ to 26’ 6” for construction of a new deck. 8 Hamel Rd. Sunapee. Mr. Maraldo presented the case.
Mr. Lauricello and Christina Harbour sent letters to the Board in support of the Maraldo’s plan. The Maraldos purchased the property in 2006. The land has a 22’ rise from the shoreline. The owners have a safety problem as well as no use of the back area. They would like to have more use of the property. This is the reason for the request of 26’ 6” from the Lake for a deck. The proposed deck would be 31’5” by 12’. Pictures of the existing building were passed to the members. A new septic system was installed in 1999.
There has been considerable erosion of the property. The request is to build a simple deck fron the house. There will be minor disturbance to the land.
