RE:
Barone Subdivision and Area Variance Request
At
this evening’s planning board meeting, we discussed the Barone application for
a minor subdivision. This project is
taking one parcel and dividing it into two, one of which would be
non-conforming. Both parcels have a
structure on them, identified as 408 and 411 General Smith Drive. The parcel identified as 411 General Smith
Drives is the lakefront home, recently sold from Rob Horr to Connie and Larry
Barone. That parcel is 7,161 square
feet, as surveyed in June. The other
parcel with the small structure identified as 408 General Smith is conforming.
Given the fact that the
lakeside home has existed for more than 30 years and has been part of the much
larger parcel across the street, including 408 General Smith Drive, the
planning board recommends granting the area variance requested.
We fully support this application.
The only other option we discussed to make the lot in compliance would
be to include a piece of property across the street; however in terms of
community and neighborhood planning, that does not really make much sense given
the nature of the neighborhood and location of other structures.
This
evening we tabled this application and we intend to take final action on it in
September after the Zoning Board of Appeals has considered the details of the
application for an area variance. If you
want further clarification about our discussion or the application, please call
or email me
