Sitting: Robert Nelson, Jonathan Furbush, James Reiffarth, William Blaisdell and Jack Dorsey. Scott Wheeler represents himself at this hearing. He is seeking a variance in order to expand existing living space. The Board of Health has condemned the house due to no heating system. Applicant is attempting to improve the home in order to be able to rent the space again. Abutter Paul Nolan has submitted a letter which Robert Nelson reads into the record, strongly opposing the variance. He states that the house is a complete mess, the tenants have been loud and have not kept up the property and this expansion will make the house closer to his property. Mr. Wheeler has indicated to the Board that he has landscaped the property and is aware of the list of complaints from the Board of Health. The ZBA suggest he make amends with his neighbor and will require all Board of Health complaints to be taken care of. Jonathan Furbush feels the improvements will better the house and improve the neighborhood. Chairman Nelson asks the Building Inspector if he has any problems with this variance request?
