Celli Trustee, who seeks a Special Permit under Section 6.3.17 of the Zoning By-laws in order to demolish an existing, non- conforming single family dwelling on a non-conforming lot and to construct a new dwelling that will conform to current setback requirements on the property located at 26 Harvest Road in Reading, MA. Craig Celli said he is attempting to buy the property located at 26 Harvest Road from the owner, Kenneth Campbell, who was present at the meeting. The lot is nonconforming but the proposed new dwelling will meet all current zoning setback requirements. It will be a moderate size colonial home that will fit in well with the neighborhood. The new dwelling will face Track Road instead of Harvest Road. The lot size is similar to other lots in the area. The Board wanted to know where the existing driveway was and the Applicant said it is on Harvest Road but the new driveway would be on Track Road. The Board reminded the. Applicant he needed to get a curb cut permit from Engineering for the new curb cut. John Jarema asked the Applicant if he had petitioned to change the address and the Applicant said he had not done that. There was some concern that he would need to get additional approvals because the current address and frontage is on Harvest Road but the Board concluded that this issue was something that the Applicant should discuss with the Building Inspector and Engineering.
