Hearings scheduled for April 28, 1988: Mrs. Klauminzer gave an oral review of the following applications to be heard by the Board of Appeals. 4 Solomon Pierce Road, Evelyn Mayne, d/b/a Annie's Closet, SP, office for children's clothing sales business with no sales conducted on the premises: Mrs. Klauminzer reported the special permit was filed in accordance with Table 1, line 1.24. The Board discussed how the proposed use should be classified. They agreed that if this business is considered a home occupa- tion under line 1.23, then no special permit is needed; however, if it is proposed to fall under line 1.24, they questioned whether it is a profes- sional use or merely a commercial business. The Board was not in agreement as to how an office for children's clothing sales business should be classified and agreed to suggest that the Build- ing Commissioner make a determination. They also agreed to recommend the neighbors' wishes be considered. 24 Grassland Street, Michael Perry, SP, to install a radio tower: Mrs. Klauminzer reported that the tower is 75 feet high - fully opened, and 29 feet high - closed, and that it is to be located in the middle of the back yard. The Board agreed to make no comment except to recommend that all of the neighbors' wishes be considered. Lot Abutting 35 N. Hancock Street, Leslie Johansen, Variance, from side yard setback: Mr. Sorensen abstained from any discussion or decision on this application. Mrs. Klauminzer reported they are requesting a side yard setback of 7.5 feet instead of 10 feet, and a side street setback of 12 feet instead of 20 feet required for a corner lot. The Board agreed to make no comment except to recommend the concerns and feelings of the neigh- bors be considered. 1129 Massachusetts Avenue, Coffee Connection, Inc., Variance, to increase their seating capacity: Mrs. Klauminzer reported they wished to have their seating capacity increased from 12 to 20 seats in warm weather, providing service for eight outdoors, and to 18 seats in cold or inclement weather, by adding one seat to each inside table.
