DRAFT Ms. Pryor: It is about the property, not your circumstances, not a Personal hardship or anything that you are personal. It is about the property. Chairman Ms. Rood: This is what needs to be proven. It is really doesn’t have to do with what you want to do with the property. They are very difficult to obtain. I am going to see if I can come up with something that you guys can give out. Mr. Ballard: We have got the information. Chairman Ms. Rood: We do not get a lot of use variance applications. I would like to see what is given to the applicants. Maybe we could help to do something that would make it easier to help the applicants. Code Enforcement Officer Mr. Shawn Vanderdos: Yeah, I think we can do that. Chairman Ms. Rood: I think that would be great for the applicants. Ms. Pryor: Question for Laurie Baker If a use variance, remind me, a use variance is granted, it goes with the property? Laurie Baker: Yes. Ms. Pryor: So, if a use variance was given to the property, that property sold, the use variance would still be with the property. Mr. Chuba: He had letters from Mathhew Sakura at 7302 Boston state Road. I am writing in support of the application submitted by Mr. Chuba. For the reconstruction of a detached garage with a family dwelling unit above their property. As a nearby property owner, I am familiar with both the and the surrounding neighborhood. Based on mu understanding of the proposal, the project will negatively impact neighboring properties or alter the character of the area. The proposed structure is residential in nature and appears consistent and with the existing development pattern in the neighborhood. I understand the dwelling unit is intended solely for family occupancy and is not proposed as a commercial or high-density rental use. In my opinion, allowing family members to live on property is reasonable use that supports multi-generational of the community. I do not anticipate anything related to traffic noise, parking drainage or property values because of this project. The applicant has been a considerate neighbor. I believe the proposed improvements will be well maintained and beneficial to the property. For these reasons I respectfully encourage the Zoning Board to approve the request for relief and allow the project to proceed. Thank you for your consideration. Mr. Lindstrom: We are great neighbors and we are very tight. We all have little kids except for grandparents. I know Mom well and the family and strongly encourage them to build the project. My address is 7314 Boston State Road, Hamburg. Chairman Ms. Rood: I guess we will just leave the open and we will see you again next month. Chairman Ms. Rood: Petition # 659, Paul Gernatt, 4859 Enser Road, Eden, seeking two area variances per Town of Boston Code 123-136B4 for size and height for detached accessory building in violation of maximum square footage and height allowed per lot size.
