Accessory Structure in Front Yard, a variance from Article 3, Sec. 3-03 of the Zoning Ordinance. Applicant Burke Davis explained that he would like to construct an accessory structure in front of the home; due to the placement of the home far back on the property in the 1970's, he cannot build behind it, nor to the side of the property because it's wet, so he needs to build.

Applicant Michael Morris and Applicant Representative, John Spencer, Spencer & Sons Construction, were in attendance and summarized their request to construct an attached garage and deck onto the property which is small for the district and is non-conforming since the current home is located too close to the lot line on the south side. The existing garage is non-usable and currently there is not a deck attached to the home. The applicant discussed the proposed project with the three (3) closest neighbors on both sides and received signatures from four (4) of the six (6). John Spencer, Spencer & Sons, discussed in detail the specific setback on the east side of the property and the fact that the lot is angled so the distance gets smaller from the lake to the road. Additionally, with the small lot, it is difficult to achieve twenty-five (25%) percent lot coverage. K. Mathews reviewed her report dated July 24, 2018.

Stinedurf seconded to approve the variance requests for a side setback of 1.7 ft. from the required five (5) ft. and lot coverage of 31% from the required 25% from Article 3, Sec. 3-03 of the Zoning Ordinance for ZBA Application #18/13; Location: 8266 Woodland Shore Drive; Owner: Morris Revocable Trust; Applicant: Spencer & Sons Construction; Zoning: R-5 (Waterfront Residential) for the following reasons: the variance requests will do the owner and neighbors substantial justice; will not interfere with other property owners in the area; extraordinary circumstance of the size of the lot; and is not impacting future development of lots in the area.

Front Yard Setback, a variance from Article 3, Sec. 3-03 of the Zoning Ordinance. b. Lot Coverage, a variance from Article 3, Sec. 3-03 of the Zoning Ordinance. Applicant Representative Dave LeClair, Livingston Engineering, overviewed the request to take (2) lots and split them back to their original platted lots which would make eight (8) lots. In order to have desirable lots, the two (2) corner lots on Walsh and Loch Lomond and Langdon and Loch Lomond, are requested to have a five (5) setback on Loch Lomond, instead of the required twenty-five (25) ft. Since the lots will be small, in order to build reasonably sized homes on the lots, the lot coverage proposed is forty-two (42%) percent instead of the required twenty-five (25%) percent. Mr. LeClair stated that the area was platted in 1929 and there are many lots and homes similar to what they are proposing for the area. He stated the two (2) existing duplexes would be demolished. It was discussed that sewer may be extended from Old 23 to the properties. K. Mathews reviewed her report dated June 4, 2018.

Justin Packman, 5065 Langdon - Been in the area for one year, want increased value and profit from home; this will decrease value. Dawn Boisvert, 5029 Langdon - There's a junk yard in this area; this proposal isn't helping them; they fix their own roads since they're private - increased traffic on Loch Lomond.

Felicia Barone, 4911 Langdon - She's across from junk yard; not eight homes; doesn't agree.

James Boisvert, 5029 Langdon - Don't know what the plans are for the homes - rental, owner-occupied? The public hearing closed at 8:20 p.m. S.

Compliance with the strict letter of the restrictions governing lot coverage and setbacks for the homes would not unreasonably prevent the use of the property.

Practical Difficulty/Substantial Justice. Compliance with the strict letter of the restrictions governing area, setbacks, frontage, height, bulk, density, or other dimensional provisions would unreasonably prevent the use of the property.

Due to topographic issues (wetlands), septic system, and power lines, the property owner is not able to place a structure in the side or rear yard. Additionally, due to the same, it has to be placed in the front and side yard setbacks.
