Chairman Robert Hendrickson read the resolution approving Stewart’s request to add the addition of an exterior 8 X 14 freezer on the back of their building located at the above address.  The applicant has submitted a site plan depicting the existing building and the proposed freezer addition. A public hearing was held on October 16, 2007.  The variance requested is 2.7 feet making the back lot offset 17.3 feet where the code stipulates 20 feet.  This minimum variance is deemed necessary and adequate for the stated purpose and at the same time will preserve and protect the character of the neighborhood.  The approval of this variance would provide no environmental impact. The application was submitted to the Planning Board for their review.  A reply has not been received prior to this approval, however, Planning Board Chairman, Billy Liggan, speaking for himself, did not see a problem with the approval.
