A meeting of the Zoning Board of Appeals was held in the Selectmen's Meeting Room of the
Town Hall, 16 Lowell Street, Reading, Massachusetts, at 7:00 P.M.
Case # 08-02
A continuation of a Public Hearing on the petition of Sandra M. Carter who seeks a Special
Permit under Section(s) 6.3.17 of the Zoning By-laws in order to demolish an existing single
family dwelling and to construct a new single family dwelling on a non-conforming lot on the
property located at 361 Franklin Street in Reading, MA.
The Applicant's agent, James Andella, submitted a letter requesting a continuance since there
was not a full Board present. Mr. Dustin said he was pleased that the reason the Applicant asked
for the continuance was not because he did not have any new materials to submit but because
there was not a full Board this evening and because the Board would not have had sufficient time
to review any new material just submitted.
On a motion by Paul Dustin, seconded by John Miles, the Zoning Board of Appeals moved to
continue the case to June 19, 2008 at the request of the Applicant so that there could be a full
Board at the next meeting.
The motion was approved by a vote of 4-0-0 (Redfern, Miller, Miles, Dustin).
Case # 08-09
A continuation of a Public Hearing on the petition of Barlow Signs for George Danis who seeks
a Variance under Section(s) 6.2.3.2.4 (Table 6.2.3) of the Zoning By-laws in order to construct a
free-standing sign of 219.25 square feet rather than the allowable sign of 75 square feet on the
ZBA Meeting, June 5, 2008

District.

On a motion by Paul Dustin, seconded by John Miles, the Zoning Board of Appeals moved to
continue the case to June 19, 2008 at the request of the Applicant so that there could be a full
Board at the next meeting.
