Meeting was called to order
at 7:30 pm.
Continued - Charles Fanaras,
Mr. Fanaras reported that his surveyor,
Paul Nichols, has found a discrepancy in the location of one boundary marker
and is still in the process of resolving the issue. He said Mr. Nichols felt he would have the
plans ready for the January meeting. John
Andreasse moved to continue this application to
New Public Hearing - Neil Moore of
Mr. Moore presented his application to
refinish furniture from his garage.
Abutter, Carolyn Doran stated she was in favor of the proposal. Abutters David and Sally Buchannan stated
they had numerous concerns including sale of items outside the garage, the
number of pieces in storage, use of chemicals, hours of operation, and
lighting. Board members explained that
all of these could be addressed under conditions of approval.
Board members reviewed the ordinance which
requires that the home occupation be within the dwelling. A letter from Town Counsel regarding a
similar 1999 proposal was read confirming this.
Mr. Moore explained that there was no area within the home that he could
use at this time. John Andreasse moved
to deny the application due to not meeting the criteria, specifically the
dwelling unit criteria. M. Schwotzer
seconded the motion with all in favor.
The members agreed to discuss possible changes to the Home Occupation
ordinance at their next meeting.
