Mr. Robert Blackburn, Jr. represented his Petition and stated that the proposal calls for construction of an 8x14 -foot addition to the existing garage with two finished bedrooms above the garage. He submitted diagrams of the proposal, which will not encroach any further into the sideline setback of the abutting property. The closest comer of the existing garage to the side setback is currently 23 feet. Proposed lot coverage will be 10.7% of the 18,000 square -foot parcel. Due to the presence of an abandoned bog behind the subject property, Conservation Agent Andrew McManus has scheduled a site visit on Friday, October 12, 2012 to determine if the proposal is within Conservation jurisdiction. The dwelling is not in Zone II. The Board of Health is requiring a septic inspection prior to issuance of building permit. No comments were received from abutters. Mr. Bonvie made a motion to grant the Written Finding.
