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
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.
