The Attorney said; it's 24' x 24' and is under 1,000 sq. ft. • Will there be an alarm system.The Attorney said; not sure yet. The Chief said this should meet the residential requirement and if it's a two-bay garage, it should have two heat detectors, and the space above will require minimally of one smoke detector and one CO detector.That will satisfy if turned into a bedroom,and should be tied into the main house. The Chief also mentioned he does not want anything in the garage when it's time for inspections. Evan Lehrer: • What the square footage was for the proposed principal structure? The Attorney said; 1,803 sq. ft., and the proposed is 3,073 sq. ft. • What is the finished space in the accessory structure?The Attorney said; 256 sq. Evan me;itioned that the accessory apartment bylaw stipulates that the accessory cannot exceed 4:0% of the gross floor area of the principal structure. If in the future this would become an accessory apartment, there is a minimum square footage requirement of 300 sq. ft. Future expansion could be an addition to the building, and would require a building permit. The Attorney said that there is a structure across the street on its own lot that will be demolished. Chief Rullo said that would require a permit. Evan said that the question for Town Counsel would be for Section 174-25 (1) (5). Does this need"to be passed along to the Zoning Board of Appeals because there's no use in the use 'table that deals with this? The ZBA would need to make a finding that is substantially similar to other uses in the Zoning District and issue finding a fact. Evan said in his opinion that the use table is very clear, and that the proposed use is within the use table and can be granted approval by the Plan Review Committee,-and there is no need for Town Counsel's opinion. Chief Rufllo stated that there can be a stipulation that the use is an office for a home occupation for the owner. Glen said that the Building Inspector's concern is that the use table didn't mention whether it was within the dwelling or in a detached structure. His opinion as mentioned by the Town Planner is that the use (occupation) goes with the property, and not the structure. Glen made a motion that the committee approve the proposal for the raze and replace of 29 Seconsett Point Road, with a detached two (2) car garage use on the first floor, and office with a bathroom use above with the following conditions; • Conservation Commission to address their concerns at their next meeting. • Board of Health—the septic system is shown on the revised site plan to determine the setbacks to the septic tank and soil absorption system.
