DRAFT MINUTES of the Lexington Zoning Board of Appeals September 28, 2006 <br /> Board Members Present: Acting Chairman — Arthur Smith, Nyles Barnert, Maura Sheehan, and <br /> Associate Members Carolyn Wilson and David Williams. <br /> Staff present: David George, Zoning Administrator and Dianne Cornaro, Administrative Clerk. <br /> Petition Address: 109 Bow Street <br /> The relief sought is for a Variance from Section 135 -35, Table 2 Dimensional Controls to allow <br /> a front set back of 7.7 feet instead of the required 15 -feet and a side set back of 5.7 -feet instead <br /> of the required 7.5 feet to construct a porch. <br /> The Chairman opened the hearing at 7:45 PM by reading the legal notice and described <br /> information received from the petitioner relative to the petition. <br /> A letter of opposition was received from Mr. & Mrs. Peter Steinkauss of 111 Bow Street. <br /> Prior to the hearing, the petition and supporting data were reviewed by the Building <br /> Commissioner, Conservation Administrator, Town Engineer, Health Director, Zoning <br /> Administrator, Planning Board and Development Review Team. Comments were received from <br /> the Engineering Department stating they have coordinated paving with the non - standard <br /> sidewalk and the Zoning Administrator asked if the shed in the back yard was in compliance <br /> with zoning requirements. <br /> Jennifer Higgins, owner of the property, presented the petition. Ms. Higgins explained that the <br /> non - conforming house is extremely small, 735 square feet, on a 2800 square feet lot. She is <br /> looking to enclose the front porch area for both space and for safety. She explained that her <br /> bedroom is in the front of the house and very close to the street, she feels unsafe to have the <br /> windows open while she is sleeping. <br /> Maura Sheehan asked about the construction being started before permit received. Bill Chase of <br /> HyTech Window and Siding spoke up that he takes responsibility for not getting the required <br /> permits. There was confusion on whether a variance was needed. <br /> Arthur Smith asked for an explanation on the facade of the porch. <br /> Nyles Barnert asked if the roofline would remain the same, which was answered, yes. <br /> There were no questions from the audience. <br /> No one spoke in favor or opposition of the petition. <br /> The hearing was closed at 7:59 PM. <br />
