T%e board noted the hardship being that the adjacent commercial property and the configuration of the adjacent lots make it unlikely that residential development will occur close enough to require the full buffer. This action is effective "larch 25 , 1988 and upon your filing of the enclosed form in the Town Clerk ' s Office at your expense. Very truly yours, "cv,4 4. q"A -r,_ A% Richard H.

Mr. Wise said there was a good possibility that it would. '_sir. Grace said the Mobil Station had no objections to this appeal. Mrs. Anthony asked if the planting plan was for aesthetics or for a buffer? Mr. Grace said for aesthetic purposes. With no further discussion, the public hearing on this item was closed. Application #1792-88 - GR Realty - General Building Supply Co. Attorney Lew Wise was present, representing the applicant. He said they are proposing to construct a 26 ,900 s. f warehouse on this property and to transform the old trucking building which is presently on this property. They are looking for a variance for this project to conform to the old buffer regulations. He said if they go by the new regulations they will lose 4 ,000 s. f. of warehouse space. He said because of the trucking terminal and the layout of pavement for the trucks , this is the only location for the warehouse. He said they plan to improve the appearance of the trucking building along with removing some of the pavement in the front and replace it with plantings. He said they have been working on this project for some time. Mr. Peter DeMallie, from Design Professionals , was present. He said much time has gone into this project to find a practical location and determining the proper size needed of the warehouse. He said the pavement will be removed in the front and landscaped to improve the appearance from the residential area across the street. No one in the audience spoke in favor of or in opposition to this appeal. _Mr. Eriksson asked if these plans had been filed with PZC yet and was told they had not. Mr. Murrin asked if more property could be purchased on the west to make this plan in compliance? Mr. DeMallie said the property to the west was in a RR zone, thereby requiring them to get a zone change. He said they were not even sure the property could be purchased. Mr. Elliot Zieky, from GR Realty, was present. He said General Building Supply Company--will rent this warehouse from GR Realty. Mr. Wise said the only area that needs a variance is in the northwest corner of the property. Page 6 .. 00.��!$� Zoning Board of Appeal's 'kinutes March 3 , 1988 Application #1792-88 - GR Realty - General Building Supply Co. Continued: Mr. Murrin asked what type of buffer plantings were presently being proposed? Mr. DeMallie said two rows of staggered white pines, which is typical for a buffer. With no further discussion, the public hearing on this item was closed. Application #1793-88 - Charles R. Eastwood Mr. Charles Eastwood was _present. He said he needs an 8 foot variance to add an addition to his house, which would consist of a family room, bathroom, and two car garage. He said his lot is 100 feet wide. He said when his house was built the setback was 10 feet. He said the other boundary is 10 feet from the house. He said this is the only way he can go. They will replace the carport with the new addition. No one in the audience spoke in favor of or in opposition to this appeal. Mr. Eriksson asked how close the house adjacent to his property was? Mr. Eastwood said not very close. He said his neighbor recently received a variance to add an addition to their house which is 15 feet from the property line . and is setback further from the road. He said his house does not line up with theirs. He said all of the lots in this area are 100 feet wide. He said his neighbors have no objections to this appeal. Mr. Warren noted that Mr. Eastwoods house is non-conforming to the new regulations and he should at some time file an application to make the house conforming. Mr. Eastwood said he would do that at another time. He wanted this variance first so he could get things started. With no further discussion, the public hearing on this item was closed. Application #1794-88 - Capuano Developers - Lot #14 , Governor' s Square Attorney Peter Alter was present, representing the applicant. He said they are seeking a variance to the new buffer regulations for lot #14 of Governor' s Square and for a reduction in the parking spaces required. He said Governor' s Square consist of approximately 77 acres on the southerly side of Governor' s Highway with two buildings presently being built on sites #2 & #7. Lot#14 is in the extreme easterly corner of the parcel. Because this parcel is across the street from a A-20 Zone and to the side of a RR Zone they are being required to have a 100 foot setback, 50 feet of which must be for a buffer. that would visibly hide the building within 5 years.

Richard H. Eriksson, Chairman Zoning Board of Appeals Page 2 ` Zoning Board of Appeals Minutes March 10 , 1988 I i Application #1790-88 - Earl Reichle continued: it would have to be a stand that would be of a removeable nature with ample off-street parking. After a lengthly discussion, motion was made by T. Murrin to grant a two-year temporary & conditional permit for a temporary and removeable roadside stand as defined in Section 4 . 1. 4b of the Zoning Regulations with use permitted for 8 months in each of the two years. The stand should be 40 feet from the road with ample off-street narking provided. The plans presented with the application for a variance, which was not approved,was not of a temporary and removeable nature. Motion was seconded by M. Anthony. All voted in favor. Unanimously carried. EFFECTIVE DATE: March 25 , 1988 Application #1791-88 - Arthur P. Karahalios , Peter Patsakis , and Peter Samiotis After a brief discussion, motion was made by T. Murrin to deny without prejudice a request for a variance to Section 8. 4 of the regulations to allow a reduced number of parking spaces as required and granted the requested variance to Section 5.4 of the buffer regulations sub- ject to the condition that the intent of the buffer regulations regarding the kind of plantings and purpose of the buffer zone will be complied with as close as possible within land available as shown on the man. The board noted the hardship to be that subjecting a site as small as this one to too much buffering would make the site unusable, losing an unacceptable amount of land. They also noted that the site plan was submitted to PZC prior to these new buffer regulations being placed in effect. Motion was seconded by M. Anthony • All voted in favor. Unanimously carried. EFFECTIVE DATE: March 25 , 1988 Application #1792 88 - GR Realty, General Building Supply Com an Motion was made by T.

The intention is to allow the building as shown on the map but to prohibit the 20 parking spaces shown in the required buffer zone. It was suggested that the parking be rearranged in the buffer zone and moved from the buffer zone to comply with the intent of the regulations. The variance is only for the northerly side of the property across from the three residential homes and extends westerly only to the edge of the westerly residential zone. '_`Motion was seconded by L. Neary. All voted in favor. Unanimously carried.
