�' (OWN CA�, <br />Town of Reading <br />ZONING BOARD OF APPEALS <br />Minutes of August 4, 2011 <br />Members Present: Jeffrey Perkins, Chairman <br />John Jarema <br />Robert Redfern <br />Damase Caouette <br />Members Absent: John Miles <br />Kristin Cataldo <br />A meeting of the Zoning Board of Appeals was held in the Selectmen's Meeting Room of the <br />Town Hall, 16 Lowell Street, Reading, Massachusetts, beginning at 7:00 P.M. Also in attendance <br />was Glen Redmond, Commissioner of Buildings. <br />Case # 11 -15 <br />A Public Hearing on the petition of Donna Corbett (Quannapowitt Players) who seeks a Special <br />Permit under Sections 6.3.3 / 6.3.3.2 of the zoning bylaws in order to install a canopy /awning <br />6.0' x 12.0' on the right hand side of the existing building on the property located at 55 Hopkins <br />Street in Reading, MA. The proposed canopy /awning will be approximately 5.0' from the <br />property line rather than the 15.0' required in an 5 -15 <br />.Donna Corbett represented the Quannapowitt Players and she reviewed the proposal for a canopy <br />awning. There was a previous canopy that was removed during prior renovations. They want to <br />install this same canopy over the handicapped ramp. There will be no signage on it and it will <br />just be recovered with new material <br />The Board asked some questions that were answered by Ms. Corbett. Mr. Redfern said he had <br />some concerns because there was not a certifiedplot plan submitted. What was submitted was <br />done by a prior surveyor and then altered with handwritten dimensions by a new surveyor. The <br />Board would like a certified plot plan showing the exact dimensions and setbacks for the new <br />location of the canopy awning. <br />It was determined that the Board required a certified plot plan. The Building Inspector said he <br />did not require the Applicant to submit a certified plot plan and had suggested that she write in <br />her own hand what was now to be there. The Board said it would have to be a certified plot plan <br />for them to enter it in the decision. They didn't have any problems with the proposal because it <br />would not be more detrimental than the previous awning. <br />Virginia Adams of 59 Azalea Circle had some questions about visual impact and was told the <br />Board did not have any jurisdiction over this element. Also, the canopy would be the same size <br />ZBA Meeting, August 4, 2011 <br />
