Maslipee Zoning Ethan and Sandra Bornstein. 2 <br /> Board of Appeals SP-08-25 <br /> 2 <br /> obtained copies from the building file that shows a walls thru was done in April, 2008 by <br /> Veronica Warden, Assistant Health Agent and it is stated that it is a 4 bedroom. There <br /> are many people abutters here with questions as to the validity of the 4 bedrooms and <br /> how it got that way. <br /> K. Rosenfeld of 2 Pine Avenue: She is concerned with drainage problems that will end <br /> up in her property if the dwelling has that many bedrooms. There were issues with this <br /> matter previously and it has been a problem ever since. Mr. Nelson informs her that a <br /> new Title V system is being installed. The Board asks her how many bedrooms she has — <br /> she states 5 bedrooms. She feels Mr. Bornstein should be restricted to 20% lot coverage. <br /> The Board informs her that the pre-existing non-conforming dwelling has a lot coverage <br /> of 25.8%; applicant is not asking to increase this. Mr. Bornstein has removed the deck in <br /> order to reduce the lot coverage and is staying within the same footprint. He is replacing <br /> the foundation for structural reasons. <br /> Henry Sockbeson of 294 Shore Drive: Mr. Sockbeson also discusses his concerns with <br /> the number of bedrooms and why there is a discrepancy between the Board of Health and <br /> the Assessing Department. He asks what constitutes a bedroom. The Board informs him <br /> that anything over 70 square feet with an opening of less than 6 feet is considered a <br /> bedroom. Mr. Sockbeson questions the Board as to the validity of the Board of Health <br /> determination of number of bedrooms. Mr. Furbush asks Mr. Sockbeson how large his <br /> home is and how many bedrooms he has. The abutters all have similar lots in size and <br /> their concerns are for the close knit neighborhood to remain aesthetically pleasing and <br /> have continuity through out the neighborhood. <br /> Paul Dardano of 23 Pine Avenue: He has the same questions on the lot coverage. He <br /> came before the board as well for a raze and replace. He has the same questions for the <br /> board regarding the number of bedrooms that the Board of Health has come to determine. <br /> Mr. Nelson and Mr. Furbush discuss the fact that ZBA follows what they are told by the <br /> Board of Health and, if a motion is granted, is always done so conditioned on the <br /> approval of the Board of Health and the Conservation Committee. The permitting from <br /> the ZBA is part of a larger process that allows the applicant to get to the final step which <br /> of course is obtaining a building permit and ultimately a Certificate of Occupancy.
