<br />ing, was called to order at 7:38 p.m, by the Chairman, Mrs. Uhrig, with members

<br />Rawski, and Secretary Peters present.
<br />7. Approval of Minutes: The Board reviewed the minutes for the regular meeting
<br />and the Executive session meeting held January 5, 1987. On the motion of Mrs.
<br />Wood, seconded by Mr. Sorensen, it was voted 4-0-1 to approve the minutes as

<br />******************* ADMINISTRATION OF LAND DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS *************
<br />SUBDIVISION OF LAND
<br />8. Sunset Ridge subdivision: The Board reviewed a memorandum, dated January 5,
<br />1987, from the Town Engineer estimating that surety could be reduced by $5,640
<br />from $42,403 to $36,763. On the motion of Mr. Sorensen, seconded by Mrs. Klau-
<br />minzer, it was voted unanimously to reduce the surety to $36,763.
<br />9. APPLICATIONS TO THE BOARD OF APPEALS
<br />Martha Wood gave an oral review of hearings to be heard by the Board of Appeals
<br />January 22, 1987:
<br />' 51 Harding Road, Roman Legocki, Variance, rear yard setback: On the motion
<br />of Mr. Sorensen, seconded by Mr. Cripps, it was voted unanimously to recom-
<br />mend the variance be denied. The Board agreed allowing the building to be
<br />located within four feet of the rear property line would be too much of an
<br />intrusion into a required setback and place the building too close to the
<br />abutting property. The Board also felt that it could set the stage for
<br />another application in the future for a special permit to the Board of
<br />Appeals under subsection 6.3 for expansion of the dwelling upward within the
<br />new footprint. In addition, no hardship caused by the Zoning By -Law had
<br />been demonstrated; and other alternatives, not involving setback violations,
<br />should be explored to meet the family's needs.
<br />On the motion of Mrs. Wood, seconded by Mr. Sorensen, it was voted unanimously to
<br />to make no comment on the following applications also to be heard on January 22,
<br />1987:
<br />32 Muzzey Street, Michael Benes, Special Permit, to add a greenhouse,
<br />22 Sherburne Road, Jeffrey & Daren Arbetter, Variance, rear yard setback and
<br />9 Columbus Street, Stephen & Donna Cole, Variance, front yard setback.
<br />*********************** ARTICLES FOR 1987 TOWN MEETING *************************
<br />10. Comprehensive Commercial Revision: The Board agreed the commercial revision
<br />would be one article with several sections. The Board continued its review of
<br />the section entitled "Table I, Permitted Uses and Development Standards," using
<br />the draft dated 12/18/86.
