The <br />proposal exceeds the allowable lot coverage of 15%. Building plans, elevations and floor plans <br />have not been submitted. <br />Jack Sullivan represented the Applicants who also attended the meeting. Building plans, <br />elevations and floor plans for a two-family residence were submitted for this hearing. Mr. <br />Sullivan reviewed the changes made since the last meeting and the overall project. He pointed <br />out the small section of the property that was in the Aquifer Protection District. <br />Mr. Sullivan reviewed the history of the property and the Applicants' perception of what they <br />thought they could do with the property when they purchased it. Mr. Sullivan said by-right they <br />could put in a one or two family dwelling or a commercial property. <br />Mr. Redfern said on the Town GIS it appears that the whole of this property is in the Aquifer <br />Protection District. Ms. Botticelli said a previous Conservation Administrator, Don Nadeau, had <br />told her that there were no restrictions on this lot. She said it was not her fault that she was given <br />incorrect information by a Town employee. <br />Mr. Sullivan reviewed what he thought were the four criteria required in order to be granted a <br />Variance. <br />ZBA Meeting, October 1, 2009 <br />
