Town of Reading <br />ZONING BOARD OF APPEALS <br />Minutes of November 8, 2012 <br />Members Present: Damase Caouette, Chairman <br />John Jarema <br />Robert Redfern <br />David Traniello <br />Kathleen Hackett <br />Members Absent: John Miles <br />f II <br />111 DEC 20 q ll: 22 <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. <br />Case # 12 -17 <br />A Public Hearing on the petition of Go Green, LLC (eCars) who seeks a Variance under Sections <br />5.0, 5.1.2, of the zoning bylaws in order to create a new side yard setback of 6.5' rather than the <br />existing setback of 16.5'on the property located at 281 Main Street in Reading, Massachusetts. <br />The required setback in a Business "A" District is 10.0.' See Plan C -2 for new property <br />dimensions dated October 22, 2012. <br />John Zeder and Dan Enxing of eCars made their presentation to the Board starting with a brief <br />history of the property. Rich O'Connor, site Civil Engineer for both eCars and Perfecto's Cafe <br />was also in attendance. <br />John Jarema said the Board has never granted a Variance to change a conforming lot to a non- <br />conforming lot. Mr. O'Connor said every time the Board grants a Variance they are granting a <br />non - conformity. Mr. Jarema explained that is not the case and explained in depth why that was <br />not true. <br />Mr. Zeder reviewed what he thought were arguments as to why their lot met the requirements for <br />the four criteria. <br />The Chairman explained again that they are asking for the right to create a non - conforming lot <br />from a conforming lot. Mr. Jarema asked what their reasoning was for this request because it <br />would affect two business locations that are adjacent to each other by the moving of the property <br />line. <br />Mr. O'Connor said they were approached by Perfecto's to do this. Mr. Enxing said they want to <br />see Perfecto's built so they will not have the current old building next to them hurting their sales. <br />Perfectos' could use the additional property for their parking which is presently not ideal. Mr. <br />ZBA Meeting November 8, 2012 <br />
