issue, but if he did that, he would need another variance for being in front of the house. The intent is to keep the building behind or in line with the front line of the house. There is a gully there and it would not be infringing upon the neighbor. Board members asked questions regarding the proposed placement, the structure’s height, proximity to the house, and whether the design would be visible from the road. The board members discussed that the 32’ side will be seen from the road. The applicant explained that the structure would remain in line with the house and that the placement was intended to keep it from extending past the front of the residence. Permit and Contractor Discussion The applicant also asked about a form requested by the Building Inspector because the work would be performed by Amish contractors. The Board discussed the possibility that the contractor arrangement may require additional documentation or insurance coverage. It was suggested that the applicant contact the contractor directly and resolve the issue promptly to avoid a stop-work order. Next Steps ➢ The applicant will attend a Planning Board meeting on June 22, 2026 at 7:00 p.m. at the Wales Town Hall. It was posted and notices were sent. ➢ A Zoning Board of Appeals public hearing is scheduled for Wednesday, July 1, 2026 at 6:00 p.m. at the Wales Town Hall. ➢ Notices will be sent to neighboring property owners and published as required.
