WILLIAM PAULSON 7:00 PM
To hear
comments on the application of William Paulson, for a Special Exception of Art
VIII, A for a 39 variance to construct a 20 x 30 deck onto a non-conforming
residence, at 527 Middle Tpke.
Gotch will
act as voting member of the Zoning Board of Appeals for this hearing.
Mr. Paulson
completed construction of the deck 2 years ago.
He used the best materials possible and feels the deck has enhanced the
value of his property. The original
plans were for a smaller deck but the size was increased as more funding became
available. He said he was unaware that
this would cause problems with zoning.
Raymond
Duplissie, brother of William Paulson, said they had received a Special
Exception for the front porch but when the deck was built, it came out 16-24
further than the porch.
Neighborhood
Opinion sheets were received showing no objections from abutters.
BUSINESS MEETING
William Paulson Hearing
There was
some confusion over whether the application was for a Special Exception or a
Variance. The Board will seek
clarification from the zoning officer on this matter.
The hearing
was continued until the next regular meeting on November 10, 2009.
Jerome D. Sipple Continuance
Mr. Sipple
has requested that his application be withdrawn. He is having a problem with his septic system
and how this is resolved will have an impact on his application.
The Board
voted unanimously to accept Mr. Sipples withdrawal,
without prejudice.
