V.    Hearings

    1.    Frederick C. Hiittner, Jr. (254-53)(42 Watson Shore Road)
           Area Variance from Article III, Paragraph B(1)

    Mr. Carrasco stated that this was an application for an area from Article III, Paragraph B(1) to permit a 10’ x 32’ addition to an existing garage.

    Mr. Hiittner, agent for the property owners Joseph and Christina Pizzarello presented the application for an area variance. Mr. Hiittner briefly described the existing conditions and the proposed addition to the existing garage.

    Mr. Stephens questioned if there was enough space to make the swing into between the tree and well shown on the sketch. Mr. Hiittner stated that there would be no problem with the first and third door, but the middle door would be tight, noting there is approximately 28 feet.

    Mr. Hopkins stated that he had voted at the last meeting against accepting the application as presented as he felt it should be an application for an expansion of a non-conforming primary structure and not an area variance. Mr. Hopkins questioned if the existing dwelling met setbacks, or if any portion of the dwelling was non-conforming. Mr. Hiittner replied that he was not sure of all the setbacks but noted the dwelling did not meet the 50’ setback from the lake.

    Mr. Hopkins questioned the distance between the existing garage and the dwelling, if there was an area in which the garage could be expanded that would not require a variance.

    Mr. Stephens suggested the board conduct an on-site visit to see view the property and the location of the existing garage.

                Motion:    Mr. Stephens moved to continue the hearing for Frederick C. Hiittner, Jr. (254-53)
                                for an area variance to May 21, 2008 to be hearing #1, and to schedule an on-site
                                visit for Saturday, May 10, 2008 at 7:30 AM.     
                                Mr. Hopkins Seconded.

                                Motion Carried – Unanimously.   

    2.    Cathie A. Brogan (99-43)(18 Mayflower Lane)
           Continued Area Variance from Article III, Paragraph B(1)

    Mr. Carrasco stated that this is a continued hearing for an area variance from Article III, Paragraph B(1)  for a 14’ x 30’ addition, with an additional 4’ farmer’s porch that will encroach 6’ into the required 50’ setback from the center of the road. The board had continued the hearing to conduct an on-site visit of the property, which was done on April 19, 2008.

    Mr. Stephens noted he was not present for the on-site and asked for input from members who were present. Board members who attended the on-site noted the site was small and that the proposed addition was compatible with neighboring properties.

    Paul Derochers, agent for Cathie Brogan provided the board with a sketch of the existing home showing the proposed addition with the farmers porch. Mr. Derochers noted they could construct a 12’ addition that would meet the 50’ setback from the centerline of the road. They are proposing a 14’ addition with a 4’ farmer’s porch on the front. They are requesting to encroach 6’ into the required 50’ setback from the road. Mr. Derochers stated the porch would be approximately 30 – 36 inches off the ground and the stairs will come off the sides.

    The Chairman went over the criteria for the granting of an area variance. The voting members were Jerry, Russ, Bob S., Bob B. and Ralph.

                                    for a 14’ x 30’ addition to encroach 6’ into the required 50’ setback from the road.
