Mr. Mathew Spears, the homeowner said he's planning to build a deck and a shed on his property. He said he removed the old deck a couple months ago because it was not safe. He wants to rebuild the new deck in the same area but would like to expand it. The deck is an "L-shaped", wrapping around the corner of the house. It will come out 12' on both adjacent sides of the house. Therefore the long sides of the deck will be 24' and approximately 432 sq, % He said the rear setback will be the same as the previous deck, and will not cover the septic tank. The shed will have a 15 ft. setback and will consist of 10 x 12 construction. He said he would like to keep the shed aligned with the house due to the topography of his lot. He said he's requesting a 7.7 ft. variance in the front. The lot coverage is 11.9%. Chairman Furbush read the Board of Health comments into the record; "septic tank location to be shown on engineered site plan. Deck cannot cover the septic tank access manholes. Deck supports cannot be placed on top of septic tank. Shed location is ok". 1
