The petitioner is requesting a SPECIAL PERMIT from Sections 135-8.4.2 and 135-9.4.2 to allow an increase of a nonconforming structure. Anthony Frausto from Morehouse MacDonald and Associates, Architect for the project, presented the petition for the owners of the property, Mr. and Mrs. Pei Chen. At this hearing Mr. Frausto addressed the corner safety issues which where a concern to the neighbors at the April 24, 2014 hearing. There were no additional questions from the Board. Thomas McLaughlin of 16 Williams Road still had an issue with the structure going outside the setbacks. The Chairwoman asked Mr. McLaughlin if he had seen the updated plans. He said because of his work schedule he had been unable to review them. Mr. Frausto showed Mr. McLaughlin a copy of the proposed plans. No one spoke in favor of the petition. The Chiarwoman closed the hearing at 7:50 pm. On a motion by Jeanne K. Krieger and second by Leo P. McSweeney, the Board voted 5-0 to grant a SPECIAL PERMIT from Sections 135-8.4.2 and 135-9.4.2 to allow an increase in a nonconforming structure. Submitted by: Dianne Cornaro, Administrative Clerk
