Nielsen, (76.12-1-15) Tower Point Rd. HS-r

Motion:  Rolly Allen moved to approve the request as submitted in the application dated 3/24/06, conditional on septic inspection. Katy Wells seconded the motion.

Vote: Carried, 5-0

Rebenack, (93.16-1-33) Sabbath Day Point Rd. TR1r

During the Site Visit made to the property several issues were noted. Rolly Allen outlined them:

            1) Completeness of the application

            2) Does the deck need to be so large? Are there alternatives?

            3) The height of the building seems inconsistent with the neighborhood.

            4) The sauna appears unstable and detracts from the shoreline beauty.

            5) The septic is questionable - needs inspection.

            6) The potting shed and garage will have inconsistent presentation with the house.

In conclusion the Board felt there appear to be alternatives and would like the homeowner to explore them.

More, (93.12-1-13) Sabbath Day Point Rd. TR1

* Rolly Allen recused himself from discussion. 

A Site Visit was made to the property. No issues were noted.

Puckette, (42.12-1-18), Lakeshore Dr. TR1

Pam Peterson made the following motion: To disapprove the plan as submitted. The Planning Board would like to see the homeowner investigate other options that would not extend the non-conformity. The Planning Board would like to see new construction meet sideline setbacks.

Rolly Allen seconded the motion.

Vote: Carried, 5-0

Berger, (12.18-1-17) Lakeshore Dr. TR1

It was noted no variance was ever issued for the original deck which encroaches upon the neighbor’s property.  Also, the matter has been referred to the LGPC.

David Swanson made the following motion: The ZBA disapprove the plan as submitted. The Planning Board thinks, among other things, the new stairway to the dock should meet the appropriate sideline setbacks and suggests the applicant submit a new plan for the stairs.

Rolly Allen seconded the motion.

Vote: Carried, 5-0

* Rolly Allen recused himself and left the building at 11:53 am.

Whisher, (43.5-2-15) Graphite Mountain Rd. Hamlet

Motion by David Swanson:

The Planning Board makes no recommendation but makes the following observations:
