MANSFIELD ZONING BOARD OF APPEALS – REGULAR MEETING

MINUTES

AUGUST 12, 2009

 

 

Chairman Pellegrine called the meeting to order at 7:00 p.m. in the Council Chamber of the Audrey P. Beck Municipal Building.

 

Present:  Members     Fraenkel, Katz, Pellegrine, Singer-Bansal, Wright

 

Absent:  Alternates –   Accorsi, Clauson

 

 

JEROME D. SIPPLE – 7:00 PM

 

To hear comments on the application of Jerome D. Sipple for a Variance of Art VIII, A to construct a 25’ x 44’ steel garage building, approx 4’ from the side property line at 30 Jude Ln.

 

Mr. Sipple is proposing to erect a 25’ x 44’ garage, possibly to be used to construct a home built aircraft.  After talking to the health department, Mr. Sipple realizes that the garage cannot be placed evenly between the property line and the septic system.  Due to the location of the septic and the slope of the land, the only place left would be to place the garage 3’ from the property line, at the end of the existing paved driveway.

 

A Neighborhood Approval Sheet and certified receipts were submitted, showing no objections from abutters.

 

Four trees will have to be removed.  This will be an extended, 2-car garage, allowing enough space for an aircraft. 

 

Singer-Bansal suggested that there may be another place for the garage if the shed was taken down and the driveway extended, placing the garage approximately 12’ from the side property line and 12’ from the rear property line.  With this plan, a variance may not be necessary.  Mr. Sipple will confirm the setback requirements with the zoning agent.

 

The hearing was continued until the next regular meeting in September in order to give applicant time to consider other options.
