<br /> Minutes of the Lexington Zoning Board of Appeals <br />Selectmen’s Meeting Room <br />August 11, 2016 <br />Board Members Present: Chairwoman, Jeanne K. Krieger, David G. Williams, Martha <br />C. Wood, and Associate Members F. David Wells and James A. Osten <br />Also present at the hearing was Alternate William P. Kennedy <br />Administrative Staff: Jennifer Gingras, Administrative Clerk and David George, Zoning <br />Administrator <br />Address: 48 Bellflower St. <br />The petitioner submitted the following information with the application: Nature and <br />Justification, Plot Plan, Elevations, Floor Plans and Photographs. Also received was <br />an Assessor’s Information Sheet, Letter from Land Surveyor, dated August 4, 2016, <br />updated floor plans, dated July 11, 2016, an updated plot plan dated August 4, 2016, a <br />Neighborhood Petition in support of the project with eleven (11) signatures, and a <br />signed affidavit of support by Ernest Carabillo, III of 52 Bellflower Street. <br />Prior to the meeting, the petitions and supporting data were reviewed by the Building <br />Commissioner, Conservation Administrator, Town Engineer, Board of Selectmen, the <br />Planning Director, the Historic District Commission Clerk, Historical Commission, <br />Economic Development, and the Zoning Administrator. Comments were received <br />from the Building Commissioner, Planning Director, and Zoning Administrator. <br />The petitioner is requesting a VARIANCE AND SPECIAL PERMIT in accordance with <br />the Zoning By-Law (Chapter 135 of the Code of Lexington) sections 135-8.4.1, 135- <br />9.2.2.2, 135-8.4.2 and 135-9.4 to allow a side yard setback of 2.3ft instead of the <br />required 7.5ft and modification to a non-conforming structure. <br />The Chairwoman opened the hearing at 7:32 pm by reading the legal notices and <br />described information received from the petitioner. This is a continuation of the <br />hearing from April 28, 2016. <br />Ms. Emily Donovan, the daughter of the homeowner, presented the application. They <br />would like to request to withdraw their application for a Variance in accordance with <br />the Zoning By-Law (Chapter 135 of the Code of Lexington) sections 135-8.4.1 and <br />135-9.2.2.2, to allow a side yard setback of 2.3ft instead of the required 7.5ft. Due to a <br />revised plot plan, they have changed the design significantly and no longer require a <br />side yard variance. Ms. Donovan would still like to request a Special Permit. The <br />house is currently 14.5 ft away from the front yard property line and the new setback <br />would be 13.3 ft. They would like to extend the porch in the front of the house. <br />The applicant, Mr. Brian Lessard from ALC Design, stated that he is the contractor for <br />this project. The 14.5 ft measurement to the front property line is to the base of the <br />stairs. The current landing doesn’t conform to the current building code. Part of the <br />garage will be within the 30ft setback. <br /> <br />
