He read the legal notice <br />into the record and swore in the members of the public wishing to speak. <br />Ms. Susan Cotter gave a brief explanation of her project, which is to build a porch on the front of their <br />home. Their proposal is to add a farmer's porch to the front of their home, the side of which will remain <br />flush with the side wall and will not get any closer to the neighbor's property. The new porch will be <br />within the same pre-existing nonconforming side yard setback. She noted that the wall of the house <br />was built about 20 or 30 years ago and at the time complied wfth setbacks, but is only about 10 feet <br />from the property line. The size of the porch will be 5 feet deep and 16 feet wide. <br />Mr. Caouette noted that it is a nonconforming lot with a non -conforming side yard setback and believes <br />the proposal is straightforward as they are not creating a new non -conformity. Ms. Hartman and Mr. <br />Houghton stated they agreed with Mr. Caouette. <br />Staff Planner Mr. Andrew MacNichol opened the meeting to public comment and seeing no public <br />comments closed the public portion. <br />Mr. Houghton made a motion to approve Special Permit for Case #22-10 - 70 Belmont Street. Ms. <br />Hartman seconded the motion and it was approved 4-0-0 (Houghton, Grasberger, Caouette, Hartman). <br />Case #22-11- 35 Prospect Street <br />
