Outgoing

The board discussed Attorney Campbell’s letter of request for Ms. Casey which requested an extension of the end-date of their previously approved Special Exception originally granted on January 10, 2007. Mr. Friel explained that he believed that Ms. Casey would have to submit a new application, with the reason for the need for the extension along with the minutes of the January 10^th 2007 meeting, the Board’s approval letter and any other supporting information or status of State applications. This would have to be a notified public hearing. The Board agreed this would be the proper procedure but did not see any issues as long as there were no changes to the basic issues surrounding the original Special Exception application except for delays resulting from state procedures.

Home Buisiness:

Dennis Edmondson/Edmondson Family Rev. Tr. Request for Special Exception as specified in the Zoning Ordinance Article IV, Section 460 to allow an Accessory Living Unit for James & Katie Lessard at 21 Stonewall Terrace, Map 17, Lot 30-22, RR3 Zone

Abutters list was read with the following present: Dennis Edmonson

Mr. Edmonson explained that he wanted an in-law living space in the house that he was building, replacing the home destroyed by a fire. This would be for his daughter and her husband. He already had an accessory apartment and thought it should be grandfathered. The Board explained that the new in-law unit had to be approved because it is new construction and the Accessory Living Unit criteria and conditions had to be met.

The Board reviewed the plan and agreed that all of the conditions were met. Mr. Friel asked Mr. Edmonson if he had a state approved septic plan in case of failure. Mr. Edmonson did not but said that a perc test had been conducted and Mr. Lavalle was working on a contingency plan. The Board agreed this could be a condition of the approval and that an Occupancy Certificate would not be issued until the State approved plan was submitted.

Ms. Rochford made a motion to approve the request based on all of the conditions having been met and that a final Occupancy would not be issued until a State approved contingency septic plan had been submitted. Ms. Osborn seconded the motion and it was unanimously approved.

The Board then held a 45-minute workshop session to review the draft provided by Bill Friel outlining required and desired elements that should accompany applications to the Board in order to receive quick and efficient action. Suggestions and refinements to the document were discussed and noted by Mr. Friel, who will draft a new version for final review and adoption by the Board.
