SITE PLAN REVIEW MEETING MINUTES OCTOBER 8, 2004 PRESENT: Pat White, Richard Stevens, Jim Marr, Sheldon Hamblin, Catherine Laurent, Eric Smith. Ronnie Warden arrived 11:00 a.m. Opened 10:00 a.m. 111 Shore Drive Map 117 parcel 335 Michael Trethewey, Owner Engineers John Slavinski and Carl McDonald of Cape & Islands Engineering presented plans for a 4-bedroom dwelling that is currently under construction; the foundation is completed. This dwelling replaces a duplex previously located on the property which was demolished. The request before the Zoning Board is to build an in-law apartment in the basement. Access is proposed directly to the outside as well as internally through the principal dwelling unit thereby providing the two egresses required. The in-law apartment would be occupied by a relative. The smoke detectors for the apartment and principal dwelling should be tied together so that any alarm is sounded in both units. A building permit has been issued for the principal dwelling. The size of the proposed apartment is less than the maximum allowed by the Bylaw. The existing on-site septic system is 2 years old. Virginia Landry of the Popponesset Design Review Committee questioned the staircase being 4' from the line where a 15' setback is required. The existing foundation is 15' from the line. Richard Stevens stated that stairs are exempt from the setback requirements. The legal notice for the ZBA hearing is incorrect and will have to be readvertised, therefore, the hearing on October 13th will be continued.
