Minutes of the Lexington Zoning Board of Appeals <br /> Estabrook Hall, Cary Memorial Building <br /> January 25 2007 <br /> Board Members Present: Chairman — Arthur C. Smith, Nyles N. Barnert, John J. McWeeney, <br /> Judith J. Uhrig and Associate Martha Wood. <br /> Staff present: David George, Zoning Administrator and Dianne Cornaro, Administrative Clerk. <br /> Also attending this hearing was Town of Lexington Legal Council, Kevin Batt. <br /> Petition Address: 15 Belfrey Terrace <br /> The relief sought is for a Variance to allow a side yard set -back of 0.4 -feet instead of the 10 -foot <br /> required and a 28.5 -foot front set back instead of the 30 -feet set back required. <br /> The Chairman opened the hearing at 7:50 PM by reading the legal notice and described <br /> information received from the petitioner relative to the petition. <br /> Prior to the hearing, the petition and supporting data were reviewed by the Building <br /> Commissioner, Conservation Administrator, Town Engineer, Health Director, Zoning <br /> Administrator, Planning Board and The Historic District Commission. Comments were <br /> received from the Health Department and the Zoning Administrator. <br /> Attorney Edmund Grant presented the petition for F. William Smith, Trustee of the Belfrey <br /> Realty Trust. Mr. Smith is looking to add a garage on the left side of the yard adjoining the <br /> house. The house is nonconforming on a nonconforming lot. The lot is severely sloped from <br /> front to back. The topographic measures indicate a 12.2 -foot change in grade. The rear yard is a <br /> heavily wooded slope where a stone retaining wall prevents soil slippage toward the house, <br /> which makes this area not feasible for a garage. The abutting property to the left side is the right <br /> rear parking lot of the Hancock Church which is striped for parking and used for a dumpster. <br /> The board questioned ability to walk around side of garage, how would maintenance be handled <br /> and asked about the original footprint of house and driveway. <br /> There were no questions from the audience. <br /> Dean Rutila representing the Hancock United Church of Christ spoke in favor of the petition <br /> stating Mr. Smith had met with them to discuss their concerns and had agreed to be responsible <br /> for all issues presented. A written list of conditions that were agreed to by Dean Rutila, as agent <br /> for Hancock Church, and F. William Smith was presented at the hearing. <br /> No one spoke in opposition of the petition. <br />
