At the Public Hearings on May 9, 2012, Ms. Andrea Rossignol represented her Petition. She stated that she and her husband bought the home in February 2012 and would like to obtain a Special Permit for the existing accessory apartment. At 548 square feet,the accessory apartment is 33% of the 2,212 total square footage of the dwelling. On May 2, 2012, Assistant Board of Health Agent Veronica Warden performed a housing inspection and confirmed that the primary residence and the accessory apartment contain a total of four bedrooms. In a memo dated May 9, 2012, Ms. Warden said that the location of the property in a Zone II district restricts the dwelling to a total of four bedrooms. While conducting a site visit, Chairman Furbush observed an 18-wheeler parked on the subject property, which he informed Ms. Rossignol is illegal to park in a residential zone. Building Commissioner Richard Morgan requested that the Board delay rendering a Decision until the truck has been removed and is properly stored elsewhere.
