Sheehan and Associate Commissioner Martha Wood sitting for Arthur C. Smith. Petition Address: 6 Moon Hill Road The Chairman opened the hearing at 8:22 pm by reading the legal notice and described information received from the Petitioner relative to the Petition. There was a comment from the Conservation Commission that applicant had received conservation approval and project was subject to order of conditions and a comment from the Health Department saying septic abandonment registration is required through the Health Department. No further comments from any other Board or Commission. Architect Nick Winton, representing the owners of the property, presented the petition. The relief sought is to allow a variance from front set back requirements as defined in Section 135 -35, Table 2, Dimensional Controls from 30 -feet to 19 -feet. Questions from the Board: Maura Sheehan: Will there be any trees removed? Answer: Yes, there is a triple tree in the front that is going to be removed. They had checked with a horticulturist about moving the tree and found out the tree is diseased and would probably be lost before long anyway. No questions from the audience. No one spoke in favor of the project. No one spoke in opposition. Hearing was closed at 8:34 PM. On a motion by John McWeeney and seconded by Martha Wood the board voted 5 -0 approve the front variance from 30 -feet to 19 -feet. Submitted by Dianne Cornaro, Clerk
