OLD BUSINESS:

I.

 

APPROVE MINUTES FROM THE MARCH 28, 2007 P&Z MEETING - Member Behnken moved to approve the minutes from the March 28, 2007 P&Z Meeting.  The motion was seconded by Member Clements and passed unanimously.

II.

 

123 GARDNER DRIVE BUILDING PERMIT REQUEST - Manager Burns explained that the contractor who came in for permit had very sketchy information on project specifications and dimensions and given issues concerning use of the easements between buildings, he asked the Hendersons to come before the board and explain the project.

 

John Henderson briefed the board and presented photos and a drawing of a proposed Screen room enclosure that would intrude 5 feet into the 7.5 ft easement which is also 5 feet into the 7.5 foot building side setback.

 

Discussion of town building setbacks and interior unit deeded access ensued.

 

The board decided that because the requested project constituted a ‘structure” and was to be built beyond the 7.5 foot setback line, a variance request must be made and the variance process completed before a decision to allow the project could be considered before the board.

 

III.

 

EAR DISCUSSION - Reviewed proposed additions presented by Manager Burns and directed all members to make any suggested inputs to him by Friday, June 1 so that he can send the amended list of issues to DCA by June 4.  Manager Burns was also directed to make contact with Frank Gorman to determine a pricing formula for his help in completing the EAR.
