Myles Putnam updated the Board on the changes made to the Site plan. Mr. Aleo currently has an application in front of the ZBA for an Area variance.
The Planning Board reviewed the criteria for issuing an Area Variance with the following positive recommendations to the ZBA
- Whether an undesirable change will be produced in the character of the neighborhood or a detriment to nearby properties will be created by the grant of the area variance; PB-No adverse impact; board feels it will make a positive impact to the neighborhood.
- Whether the benefit sought by the applicant can be achieved by some method, feasible for the applicant to pursue, other than a variance; PB No adverse impact. PB feels there is not a difference to the footprint whether it’s a two family dwelling or a 1 family with five bedrooms.
- Whether the requested area variance is substantial; PB No adverse impact. They don’t feel the request is substantial, that’s a matter of opinion
- Whether the proposed variance will have an adverse effect or impact on the physical or environmental conditions in the neighborhood or district; PB No adverse impact on environmental conditions
- Whether the alleged difficulty was self-created, which consideration shall be relevant to the decision of the Board of Appeals, but shall not necessarily preclude the granting of the area variance. PB- Yes, they feel this may have been self created do to the recent property sale in Nov 2010.
