OLD BUSINESS:
Mr. Don English asked the Board to look over a drawing for Mr.
Clarence Parrott who would like to add a deck on to his house
and he only has 10 feet in the back.
Mr. English asked if Mr. Parrott needed a variance under the
village overlay. Mr. Harrison said that the only thing that
the Village Overlay does is that it institutionalizes existing
non conformity. The discussion continued on non conformance
of the deck on the property and Mr. Adams felt that it does
create a non conformance. Mr. Harrison said then he will
need a variance.
Motion was made by Mr. Adams to pass on to the Appeals Board
with a favorable recommendation. Motion was seconded by Mr.
Quidas.
Vote: Quidas - Y, Adams - Y, Haring - Y, Harrison - Y, English - Y
