Kennedy Administrative Staff: Jennifer Gingras, Administrative Clerk and Acting Zoning Administrator Address: 7 Albemarle Ave The petitioner submitted the following information with the application: Nature and Justification, Plot Plan, Elevations, and Floor Plans. Also received was a Zoning Board of Appeals decision, dated December 11, 2014 Prior to the meeting, the petitions and supporting data were reviewed by the Building Commissioner, Conservation Administrator, Town Engineer, Board of Selectmen, the Planning Director, the Historic District Commission Clerk, Historical Commission, Economic Development, and the Zoning Administrator. Comments were received from the Zoning Administrator. The petitioner is requesting a SPECIAL PERMIT in accordance with the Zoning By-Law (Chapter 135 of the Code of Lexington) sections 135-9.4 and 135-8.4.2 to allow modification to non-conforming structure. The Chair opened the hearing at 7:08 pm. Presenter: Karen Thompson Ms. Thompson presented the petition. She is looking to re-build the deck that is decaying and build a car port and deck addition. A Board member, Mr. Clifford, stated that he doesn't see a floor plan in the application so it's hard to determine where the steps come down (the steps will come off the deck and turn into the back yard). A Board member, Mr. McCarthy, asked if this is the same application from 2014 (yes, she has had trouble hiring a contractor and didn't realize that the Special Permit expired after 2 years). There were no questions or comments from the audience. There were no further questions or comments from the Board. On a motion made and seconded, the Board voted to close the hearing at 7:13 pm. On a motion by Jeanne K. Krieger, and seconded by Ralph D. Clifford, the Board voted 5-0 to allow the SPECIAL PERMIT in accordance with the Zoning By-Law (Chapter 135 of the Code of Lexington) sections 135-9.4 and 135-8.4.2 to allow modification to non-conforming structure.
