Ch.40A§9 for a Special Permit under Reading Zoning Bylaw Section <br /> 7.2 to demolish the existing 3 family dwelling and to construct a new 2 family dwelling on the property located at <br /> 119 Salem Street in Reading,Massachusetts. <br /> Mr.Jarema called the meeting to order. <br /> Mr.Josh Latham and Mr.Keith Forlizzi were present on behalf of the Applicant. <br /> Mr.Jarema read the case into record and informed the Applicants and public that 3 members sitting tonight were <br /> present at the original case and that Mr. Caouette has viewed the disk of the original meeting,has signed the Mullen <br /> Rule document and it has been entered into public record. Mr.Jarema then asked the Applicants if they would like <br /> to go forward with the 4 voting members or continue to the 8/1/18 hearing. Mr.Latham answered that they would <br /> like to continue. <br /> Mr.Jarema spoke a litany of correspondence with Town Council,reviewed the original hearing—discussing Section <br /> 7.2 of the bylaw, and asked Mr.Latham if he had additional information. <br /> Mr.Latham recapped the case and project,and reiterated that their argument is that it makes the property more <br /> conforming and less detrimental to the neighborhood. He said he reads Section 7.2 as being able to grant Special <br /> Permits for 2 family use if it is not more detrimental. He said the project will be fixing the front yard setback and in <br /> every other way will conform with Zoning except for the frontage. He notes improving structural change under <br /> Section 7.2 and it not being more detrimental. <br /> Page 1 1 <br />
