APPLICATIONS TO THE BOARD OF APPEALS Mrs. Uhrig presented an oral review of cases to be heard on August 8, 1985. 321 Marrett Road, Glenn Comeau: SP, restaurant, take-out food service: The Board discussed the parking arrangements (pre-existing, non -conforming) located in the rear of the store block with poor access to the rear of the stores. On the motion of Mr. Sorensen seconded by Mr. Cripps it was voted unanimously that the Board write the Board of Appeals that the Board is not pleased with the proposal, and that four conditions are recommended for inclusion in their decision. 1. There should be well maintained entrances for the public from the parking lot in the rear for all the stores served by the rear parking lot. 2. There should be rear delivery entrances for all stores. 3. A sign saying that parking is in the rear, should be visible in the front of the building. 4. There should be landscaping/screening along the back boundary of the rear parking lot. 32-34 Winter Street, Randall H.

Emery; Variance, to reduce the lot area of a non -conforming lot: On the motion of Mr. Sorensen seconded by Mr. Cripps, it was voted unanimously to recommend that the variance not be granted since there appears to be no hardship and it would make a non -conforming lot even smaller. 7 Roosevelt Road, Richard and Mildred Ham; Variance, side yard setback, addition, and Special Permit, continued use of the single family dwelling: with the addi- tion, the sideyard will be 10.5 feet where 12 feet is required.
