7:05 pm 06-15 Harborside Village Cooperative Corporation, Harbor Lights Circle and Weatherly Ave, Map 20, Parcel 19: Application for a Special Permit under WZB 6.1.1 and 6.1.5 to replace 17 existing trailers with 17 new trailers set on piers, above base flood elevation and not in the Floodplain District (Cont’d 05/25/06). The Board for the hearing was Trevor Pontbriand, Jeffrey Stewart, Robert Hankey, William Nicholson, and Bruce Drucker. Myer Singer, Attorney for the applicant, reiterated the applicant’s position that a full site plan, which was requested by the Board, was not necessary based on the plans submitted as well as the cost to the cooperative. He stated the numbers provided for lot coverage were relatively accurate and that trailers do
not count as lot coverage (per the Building Inspector).
Pontbriand read a letter dated June 22, 2006 from the Wellfleet Planning Board. They requested if the Special Permit was granted for the replacement trailers, that they be relocated out of the layout of the Taylor Hill subdivision roads and onto the lots as much as possible. Myer responded that this is not possible and probably not necessary as these are paper streets. Liz Stansell stated the trailers have been located in the park over 25 years and the septic lines are for the current placements. She also questioned why the Planning Board did not bring up this issue when they reviewed the paperwork when the cooperative was formed. The Zoning Board was concerned the letter was received on the day of the hearing, as well as there being no signature or representative from the Planning Board. Stewart suggested the Zoning Board contact Planning Board regarding this issue.
Sibel Asantugrul asked the applicant about Fire Department access. Liz Stansell stated the trailers have eight and ten foot setbacks between each one as per Fire Department regulations. Stewart suggested contacting the Fire Department and Police Department to confirm safety issues. Robert Hankey identified an error on the Coastal Engineering Plans in the “notes section (9)”. Stansell stated this was copied from a 1991 plan and was a typographical error. Further discussion took place regarding the need for a surveyed site plan. The Board was concerned that omissions or inaccuracies with the submitted plans and calculations could impact future applicants from the Park. Myer stated it is up to the cooperative to protect all owners within the Park and not the Town.
The applicant requested the Board make a decision. The Board suggested a recess from this case and return to it after hearing the other cases, to which the applicant agreed.

Vi O’Connor, of the Co-Op Board, stated no action was to be taken by any other trailer owners until after Case 06-15 was resolved. The Board suggested Ms. Johnson would also have to go before the
