Cathy Clark outlined the plans for proposed Sewer District # 2, extending through the Friends Point/Forest Bay area in the north and to Arcady Bay in the south. She explained that major public utilities are not an allowed use in the OCII and RC areas, (portions of Friends Point/Forrest Bay), thus requiring a “change of use” variance.
After they deemed the application to be complete, the Board scheduled a Public Hearing for July 19, 2007. Motion made by Martin Fitzgerald and seconded by Bill Pittman.
Vote: Carried 5-0
The regular monthly meeting of the ZBA will immediately follow.
The applicant is requesting a variance for a 12x15 ft. storage shed located 32.5 ft. from the shoreline. An existing 4x4 ft. shed, located 22 ft. from the shoreline will be removed if the variance is granted.
Variance issue: 160-50 B. (b) Shorelines
After reviewing the application, all attending members agreed it was complete. A Public Hearing was scheduled for July 19, 2007 on a motion heard from Lindsay Mydlarz and seconded by Martin Fitzgerald.
Vote: Carried, 5-0
A Site Visit will be made to the property on July 6th. Ms Clark will notify the homeowners.
Cathy Clark briefly reviewed the history of the property. In 2004 the ZBA approved a variance for the replacement of an existing house. A second home located on the property was to be reduced in size and the plumbing was to be removed in order to create a 20x30 ft storage building. The second structure has now been replaced with a new 10x14 ft. storage shed. All agreed no variance is needed and Ms. Clark should issue the required (after-the-fact) permit.
In response to a question raised at the May ZBA meeting, Ms. Clark assured members that work, as approved by the Board, will be completed by contractor Peters.
A motion to adjourn at 7:20 pm was heard form Bill Pittman and seconded by Lindsay Mydlarz.
