Minutes of the Lexington Zoning Board of Appeals May 25, 2006 Present: Chairman — Judith J. Uhrig, Nyles Barnert, Maura L. Sheehan, Arthur C. Smith and Associate Carolyn C. Wilson Petition Address: 354 Waltham Street The relief sought is for a Variance from Section 135 -35, Table 2, Dimensional Control to allow side set back of 8.5 feet rather than the required 15- feet. The Chairman opened the hearing at 7:45 PM by reading the legal notice and described information received from the petitioner relative to the petition. Prior to the hearing, the petition and supporting data were reviewed by the Building Commissioner, Conservation Administrator, Town Engineer, Health Director, Zoning Enforcement Officer, Planning Board and Selectmen's Office. There was a comment from Conservation that they appear to be 100 -feet away from wetlands. Sally Hutson, owner of the property presented the petition. They are seeking to put a mudroom on over the existing porch footprint. The Board had questions regarding where they were looking to extend the mudroom. There was confusion on the plot plan because they had used a plot plan with a previous proposed addition outlined. The set back information had been mistakenly advertised and written on the abutter cards as 12.5 instead of the requested 8.5. There were no questions from the audience. No one spoke in favor or in opposition of the petition. Due to the error in the advertising it was determined that the abutters needed to be notified with the correct set back information requested. Abutter cards would be re -sent to all abutters and the hearing would be continued until June 8, 2006 at 7:45 pm. On a motion by Nyles Barnert and seconded by Carolyn Wilson the board voted 5 -0 to CONTINUE the hearing until June 8, 2006 at 7:45 PM.
