Arthur Polychrones of 30 Collins Avenue , Reading appeared
before the Board of Survey seeking a ruling under the Towne Zoning
By-Law 4. 5. 2 and/or 4. 5.6. Mr. Polychrones stated that he owns
the lot at the end of Collins Avenue on the cul-de-sac and it is
his desire to build a retirement home there. He has already filed
under the Wetland Protection Law to fill the lot so that he and
his wife could build a slab type constructed home for their use .
The Reading Conservation Commission has denied the petition to
fill and they have filed an appeal with the D. E . Q . E . In the
meantime they have filed with the Reading Board of Appeals and in
anticipation of a favorable approval from the D . E . Q . E . the filing
with the Board of Appeals is necessary to obtain a special permit
to build in the Wetland Protection District . The zoning by-law
requires the Board of Survey , the Board of Health, the Planning
Board and the Conservation Commission to make a report to the
Board of Appeals. Mr . Polychrones requested the Board of Survey
to make a favorable report in anticipation of the receipt of per-
mission from the D. E . 0. E . to fill the lot . A discussion ensued
relative to the wetness of the site , the amount of filling to be
accomplished and the fact that the Board was being asked to make
a determination on a future event that may or may not be approved.
Therefore , it was moved, seconded and voted to table action on the
request pending the result of the appeal to the D . E . Q . E . by Mr.
Polychrones . Meeting adjourned at 9:40 P. M.
