11-17 Benevento, 124 State Highway Route 6, Map 47, Parcel 24: Application for a Special Permit under WZB 6.1.5.1 to alter pre-existing nonconforming single family residence and WZB 6.21 for an affordable accessory dwelling unit (Cont’d from 06/16/11). The Board consisted of Bruce Drucker, William Nicholson, Manny Heyliger, Mick Lynch and Roger Putnam. Attorney Ben Zehnder represented the applicant and stated the revised plan identifies a vegetated screen to block the views from Route 6. Zehnder stated the applicant didn’t feel relocating the house was in their best interest and they required the addition in the front
in order to have the master bedroom enlarged. He stated for mitigation they would remove the two sheds on the property. New floor plans were presented for the affordable accessory dwelling unit identifying the square footage of the unit. Roger Putnam requested clarification of the issue of whether or not both requests could appear in the same application and Vice Chair Drucker stated they should be separate. The Board questioned if two separate requests for a special permit should be on the same application. There was discussion among Board members regarding the 100’ setback issue and the additional substantial intrusion into the front setback; there was not consensus. The Board was generally in favor of the Affordable Accessory Dwelling Unit. Zehnder requested a break to discuss the situation with his client.
