We propose to locate an 6>4c::::f5 foot tool shed three feet from our
northern property line. It will be professionally built with
attractive plantings surrounding it.
It is our understanding that one of the functions of zoning
regulations is to maintain aesthetic characteristics of our
neighborhoods and communities . After taking certain physical
characteristics of our property into account and talking with our
neighbors on all three sides, we believe we have achieved a balance
of functional practicality and aesthetic appearance. Please note
that all three neighbors are in agreement with our choice of
location of the shed--including the Apters, whose border is the
closest to the proposed location.
If you will please refer to the attached plot plan,we would like to
note the following hardships:
1 . We do have a drainage problem where indicated on the map.
A swale on our property directs rainwater from the back of our
house in a northerly direction to the far side of our driveway
and then down in an easterly direction to the street.
Therefore, we cannot move this shed any farther west than
indicated on the map or it will interfere with drainage .
2 . We cannot move the shed any farther east because of an
existing large permanent wooden play structure and garden.
3 . We cannot move the shed farther to the south because of an
existing oak tree .
4 . on the north side (behind the shed) , our neighbors have a
permanent wooden fence--approximately 5 feet high.
5. The location we have selected has pine trees on two
sides--the west and the north. One pine tree will block most
of the shed from street viewing. The other pine tree will
block most of the shed from the view of our neighbors, the
Apters. As noted, the Apters' fence will also serve to block
their view.
In conclusion, we request permission for a variance as indicated.
We will be extremely careful maintaining the aesthetic quality of
the neighborhood. We have involved all of our neighbors in the
process and have received open permission from everyone . We
believe we have selected the best, most unobtrusive sight on our
property for this shed, and that it would not only be to our
advantage, but to our neighbors as well , if the shed were located
as indicated.
Thank you

RE: ZBA Application #2046-92 : Thomas and Deborah Lines
43 Wedgewood Lane
Dear Mr . and Mrs . Lines :
At the meeting of the Zoning Board of Appeals held on May 7 ,
1992 , a variances was grantee] to Section 10 . 2 of the Zoning
Regulations to allow a 1.7 foot variance for a shed to be located
3 feet (20 feet required) from side yard on property located at
43 Wedgewood Lane (AA-30 Zone) .
The hardship placed with this appeal is due to drainage problems
to the west side of proposed shed Site , a permanent wooden play
structure to the east side of proposed shed site , an exisiting
oat treat- to the south of proposed shed site and a permanent
wooden fence to the north side of proposed shell site making this
the best location for the shed .
This action is effective May 7 , 1992 and upon your filing of the
enclosed form in the Town Clerk' s office at your own expense.
Very truly yours ,
Robert W. Warren, Chairman
Zoning Board of Appeals
