Case # 09-05 A continuation of the Public Hearing on the petition of Lisa Mead, Blatman, Bobrowski & Mead, - LLC; who seeks a Variance under Section 5.1.2 of the Zoning By-laws in order to allow the owner (Kevin Fulgoni) to construct a single family dwelling on the property identified as Lot A, "South Street in Reading, MA. Attorney Lisa Mead represented Kevin Fulgoni, who was also present. Attorney Mead reviewed the revised plans with the Board. She reviewed the history of the lot and the land-taking by the state that created the lot that is now owned by Mr. Fulgoni. She reviewed what she thought were the criteria that qualified this property for a Variance. Mr. Redfern did not think this is a buildable lot, it is not grandfathered, has only half the required frontage and he did not think it is even close to the area of the lots that are in the neighborhood. He did not think this lot was unique in any way in regards to its shape, topography or soil conditions. Mr. Dustin questioned the new site plan submitted and did not see how this plan satisfied Variance criteria 3 and 4. Mr. Dustin asked if the Applicant would consider a single car garage and the Applicant said that was acceptable. Paula Gentile, 393 South Street, stated her objections to the project. Heather Tenney, 398 South Street, stated her objections to the project. 11-11 ZBA Meeting, June 4, 2009
