MINUTES September 7, 2000 2 BOARD OF HEALTH Mr. Dedecko stated, "What we have before you tonight is a modification. We bought a lot on Degrass Road and we found, in doing the title for the property, that the Town had on their books, 100' of frontage on the lot, the old plan which you have before you. The new plan shows only 50' of frontage. It went from 100' to 50'. Unfortunately it was half the lot. We did design a house that works on it. Unfortunately I'm in a situation where we have the building permit which was an existing building permit on the existing old plan and now because of the situation of the lot square footage it changes us dramatically. What I'd like to do is see if there is any relief in modifying the permit." "We build on small lots all the time; the problem is that it is 2000 versus 1999 rules. I actually have a building permit and I wrote a letter to Bill Hauck who has extended the building permit October 7, 1999." Mr. Doherty motioned to approve the revised plans, which indicates smaller lot coverage for 110 Degrass Road. Mr. Santos seconded the motion. Motion passed. 5.
