1. Minutes of April 7, 1982 meeting approved.
2. Land O'Pines Section 4 #8-81, 116 Lots Peggy Ann and ~est Mountain
Roads. No one appeared on this subdivision. Motion by Harrison
seconded by Dybas to deny Preliminary Approval. No topography work
for drainage submitted. Land is flat and the Planning Board wants
to see where water is going. Motion carried unanimously.
3. Variance No. 752, Mary Ann and James Potter - to place a private
swimming pool in the side yard in lieu of the required rear yard
placement on the property situated at Boulderwood Drive. Applicant
present. Motion by Mann seconded by Montesi to recommend approval
of this variance. Motion carried unanimously. This is a three
acre lot and no neighbors to worry about.
4. Variance No. 753, Bruce Fraser - to place an attached garage with
15 ft. front setback in lieu of the reauired 30 ft. front setback
on the property situated at Cleverdale-Road. Motion by Sorlin
seconded by Dybas to recommend approval of this area variance.
Motion carried unanimously. This is not going to change the character
of the neighborhood and this setback is no different than what is
presently there in the neighborhood. Bruce Fraser was present.
5. Variance No. 754, Torrington Industries, Inc. - to store sand and
gravel excavated from a neighboring lot on a parcel zoned C-l and
R-3 on the property situated at the corner of Ridge Road and Route
149. Attorney, Austin Hoffman represented applicant. Ted Zoli
also present on this variance. Motion to recommend disapproval
by Mann seconded by Harrison. Hardship not shown. There is good
use of land as commercial use as zoned. Vote on motion 3 yes and
3 no. Motion not passed. No action by Board as it was a tie vote.
The Planning Board feels that if the pile was moved to the R-3
zone portion of the property and not on the C-l zone portion that
they would approve. The R-3 land not really usable for residential
development and trees would hide the sandpile.
The following resolutions acted upon by the Planning Board:
