Wood Staff Present: Dianne Cornaro, Clerk and Zoning Administrator, David George Petition Address: 17 Utica Street, Map 47, Lot 70 Petitioner submitted the following with the application for hearing: nature and justification of request; topographic plan; plot plan; elevations and floor plans. Prior to the hearing, the petition and supporting data were reviewed by the Building Commissioner, Conservation Administrator, Town Engineer, Health Director, Board of Selectmen, the Zoning Administrator, the Planning Director and the Historic Districts Commission Clerk. Comments were received from the Zoning Administrator. The Chairman opened the hearing at 7:31 pm by reading the legal notice and described information received from the petitioner relative to the petition. The applicant is requesting a special permit in accordance with the Zoning By-Law section 135-10D to allow for a special permit accessory apartment. Richard White, the owner of the property, presented the petition. Mr. White explained they had received a special permit in 2009 but due to financial issues the project was never done and has now been scaled down. The Chairman commented that the Board sometimes puts restrictions on special permits that only families reside in the accessory apartment. The owner had no issues with that. There were no questions from the audience. No one spoke in favor or in opposition to the petition. The Chairman closed the hearing at 7:35 pm. The Board discussed if any conditions should be added to the decision. On a motion by Carolyn C. Wilson and seconded by Martha C. Wood, the Board voted 5-0, to grant the special permit in accordance with the Zoning By-Law section 135-10D to allow for a special permit accessory apartment with no conditions.
