"The site line of the dwelling within that minimum setback may be increased to <br />the extent that an (the) extension of the structure is either parallel or divergent <br />- from the effected lot line." <br />Leave b. as is. <br />ZBA Chairman John Jarema explained that this would allow what the by-law <br />intended. <br />JB asked how "divergent" is defined? <br />Mr. Jarema defined as "going away from;" in some cases the line is not parallel <br />and moves away from the nonconforming setback, creating less of an <br />encroachment. <br />NS thought you could not change footprint of existing building. <br />Mr. Jarama explained you can by variance or special permit, but a variance was <br />hard to give. The ZBA wants more discretion to grant reasonable requests rather <br />than deny variances. <br />RH recommended this to the Board of Selectman to place as an Article on the <br />Warrant for next Town Meeting, JB seconded. <br />4-0-0 all in favor. <br />JB asked if ZBA would be willing to present the Article at Town Meeting; John <br />Jarema said this would not be a problem. <br />Approval Not Required: <br />Thomas Bringola, 40 Harvest Road <br />The Applicant wants to combine 2 lots that contain 1 dwelling on the lot line. <br />This project is currently before the ZBA for a special permit to voluntarily <br />demolish in order to rebuild; the ZBA is holding their decision until they came <br />before the CDPC. <br />JB asked whether they will be able to build on it if the lots are combined. <br />CR explained they will with a ZBA Special Permit. <br />RH asked where the frontage is, which is on Harvest Road. <br />CR said that the Conservation Commission has reviewed along with the Town <br />Engineer and there are no problems. <br />RH moved to endorse a Plan of Land in Reading, MA known as Harvest Road <br />dated 9/4/03.
