NEW BUSINESS

ZBA Case #03-12—Randy Menard, 471 County Farm Rd., Tax ID #4710-03-100-018

Jack Lowe arrived at 7:40 pm and Linda Manson-Dempsey turned the meeting over to him.

The applicant, Randy Menard, was present to request a variance for the side yard setback to replace an existing garage that was taken down about two weeks prior to submitting the land use permit application.  The ZBA members discussed several options, none of which would work with the property’s landscaping, drain field, etc. 

After discussion, Larry Fillinger motioned for ZBA Case #03-12—Randy Menard, 471 County Farm Rd., Tax ID #4710-03-100-018, that a variance is not necessary for the partial replacement of a deteriorated building on the existing footprint, and allowing the building to be replaced will improve the appearance and be consistent with the primary dwelling.  Linda Manson-Dempsey seconded.  Motion carried 5-0.

CALL TO THE PUBLIC

No response.

ADJOURNMENT

Linda Manson-Dempsey motioned to adjourn the meeting at 8:33 p.m. Larry Fillinger seconded. Motion carried 5-0.
