He will take comments after each hearing. NEW HEARINGS 119 Daniels Island Road Mr. Nick Galanis, Vice President of New Seabury Homes presented the Written Finding petition filing under Section 174-17, and for clarification of the New Seabury Special Permit. This lot has been an ongoing nonconforming lot under the current zoning conditions. This clarification was discussed with David Morris, Building Commissioner who agrees that the proposed extension of the nonconforming use is not subsequently more detrimental than the existing nonconforming use to the neighborhood and there is adequate land for sufficient parking and setbacks. Mr. Morris had originally submitted this petition to the Board as a Variance, but after research and discussions with Town Counsel discovered that under zoning should be presented as a Written Finding. He submitted a letter to the Board (May 8, 2025). This is not a Variance because of the New Seabury Special Permit, and that the setbacks of the subject lot already has setbacks to wetlands that are pre-existing. The only reason this petition is being presented is for the setbacks to wetlands under a Written Finding. Other zoning aspects are not jurisdictional to the Board. 1
