Town of Reading <br />ZONING BOARD OF APPEALS <br />Minutes of April 6, 2006 <br />Members present: Susan Miller <br />Robert Redfern <br />John Jarema <br />Paul Dustin <br />Michael Conway <br />Members absent: Mark Gillis <br />u- <br />may; <br />XJ <br />A meeting of the Zoning Board of Appeals was held in the Selectmen's Meeting Room of the <br />Town Hall, 16 Lowell Street, Reading, Massachusetts at 7:00 P.M. Also in attendance was Glen <br />Redmond, Commissioner of Buildings. <br />Case # 06-04 <br />A Public Hearing on the petition of Steven Napolitano who seeks a Special Permit under Section <br />6.3.11.1 of the Zoning By-laws in order to remove and replace an existing set of front steps. The <br />existing steps are non-conforming (front setback) on the property located at 81 Mineral Street in <br />Reading, MA. <br />Steven Napolitano said he had a small, existing set of steps with a roof-over that are original. He <br />said they were narrow and unsafe and he wanted to remove and replace them with a slightly <br />enlarged platform area. The new steps would be encroaching more towards a neighbor but will <br />not be encroaching any further toward the street. The new platform will be expanded slightly <br />more on the right side than the current one. The roof-over will remain the same along with the <br />columns. <br />The Board thought it was a small expansion that would not impact the neighborhood and it met <br />the requirements for the Special Permit. <br />On a motion by Robert Redfern, seconded by John Jarema, the Zoning Board of Appeals moved <br />to grant the Applicant a Special Permit under Section 6.3.11.1 of the Zoning By-laws in order to <br />remove and construct a new front landing and steps on the dwelling at 81 Mineral Street as <br />shown on the submitted Certified Plot Plan, with the following conditions attached: <br />April 6, 2006 <br />
