12-13 Lonnie Briggs, 51 Wireless Road, Map 30, Parcel 605: Application for a Special Permit under WZB 6.1 to replace a 1950’s cottage, adding 97’ to existing footprint. The Board consisted of William Nicholson, Manny Heyliger, Tom Reinhart, Sharon Inger, and Mick Lynch. Lonnie Briggs gave an overview of the project, stating this is a very narrow lot. Francis Sullivan, architect, also came to the table. There will be a slight addition to the footprint but not within the setbacks and a volumetric increase. The height of the building is within the guidelines. The Board requested gutters or a recharge system to provide for
water run off and the utility lines will be buried. William Nicholson moved for Findings of Fact; seconded by Sharon Inger; passed 5-0.
