Zoning Board Of Appeals (Zba) Webvtt
The meeting involved discussions regarding variance requests. The first item concerned an 8-foot fence proposal at 274 Huth Road, where the applicant sought to exceed the maximum allowable height of 6 feet to ensure privacy from adjacent apartments, citing issues like direct sightlines into a backyard and pool area, and problems with neighbors throwing garbage. The board approved this request with conditions related to setbacks from the street. The second item involved a tabled discussion concerning 342 B Drive regarding a driveway setback discrepancy. The board recommended denying the motion because official surveys conflicted, leading to ambiguity about the property line; the discussion centered on whether the applicant or the town should bear responsibility for previous measurements made by a town employee that deviated from the variance requirements. The applicant contended they followed the town employee's staking, which was not customary, and suggested potential legal action if required to remedy the situation.
