RECOMMENDATIONS ON APPLICATIONS TO THE BOARD OF APPEALS
103. Hearings Scheduled for Mav 10 1990: Mr. Williams gave an oral review
of the following applications to be heard by the Board of Appeals.
229-331 Marrett Road, Giuseppe Raponi, variances to allow construction
of an addition for commercial use on the east side of an existing two
family dwelling, located in the CN district, with a floor area ratio of
.35, instead of the required .20, and two stories instead of the
required one story. Mr. Williams reported the applicant wishes to
enlarge the existing dwelling rather than tear it down and rebuild a
more modern structure. He noted that if this were done, the applicant
could only rebuild a one story building and would have to conform to all
of the zoning requirements of the CN zoning district, including conform-
ing to a smaller FAR. On the motion of Mr. Williams, seconded by Mrs.
Klauminzer, it was voted 5-0 to recommend the application be denied
since none of the statutory criteria, relating to soil conditions or
topography, that are required for granting a variance, has been
demonstrated.
16 Round Hill Road, Byron & Paula Blanchard, SP, to install a satellite
receiving antenna on the north slope of the roof of a single family
dwelling. Mr. Williams reported the applicant said that the excessive
number of trees prevented him receiving satisfactory reception if the

antenna were located on the ground. On the motion of Mrs. Uhrig,
seconded by Mrs. Klauminzer, it was voted 4-1-0 (Mr. Williams voted in
the negative) to recommend the special permit be denied, since the
Zoning By-Law does not allow antennas to be located on roofs.
17 Hartwell Avenue, Kendall Co. , SP in accordance with Use Table 1, Line
17.1 of ZBL for TEMPORARY USE of two 8'x8'x40' leased ground level
containers for the storage of office equipment, furniture, pilot plant
equipment, supplies, etc for up to one year. The Board agreed they had
no objection, on the condition that the temporary use was allowed for no
more than one year, and was not renewable for any length of time.
The meeting was adjourned at 8:08 p.m.
