ZBA MINUTES Page 2. 3 / 28 / 06.
Case # 06-12. Avis Buecking. Map # 127. Lot # 4. Variance. Art . III. 3:40 C. Reduce lakefront setback from 50’ to 36’ to accommodate construction of a new entrance deck. 23 Clearwater Dr. Sunapee. The new entrance is requested because the existing one is rotting. The contour of the land has caused the rot problem. The new deck entrance would be partially in the 50’ setback. She was planning to have the stairs set back further from the Lake and have the entrance on the side of the house. The front entrance deck will be removed. Bob Henry is concerned that the allowable 150 sq. feet would be taken up by the lower deck. A proposed walkway can be no higher than 2’. above ground. Mrs. Buecking said she is giving up about 75’ A portion of the walkway would be outside the
50’ setback. She wants to change the entrance also, because of the sloped ledge. She wants to create a safer access to the building. There was some discussion of
how much infringement there would be and the net amount of coverage .The Board went over the five conditions for the variance. There was concern because one deck had already been removed. The Board feels that there should be improved documentation of what had been there . It was decided that the case should be continued. The Kittle family approved of the plans. Peter Urbach made a motion to continue Cases # 06-12 and 06-13
to the next meeting. Robert Henry seconded the motion. There were five yes votes.
