The Board discussed the request from the Conservation Admini-
strator, Carl Gardner, seeking support on Conservation Commis-
sion's proposal that an unspecified number of parking spaces
be reduced in size to an unspecified dimension so as to
reduce run-off discharged into Wetlands. Considerations by
the Board were:
a) - Illegal to allow variance after Comprehensive
Permit hearings are closed;
b) - Proposal is not specific;
c) - Violates Zoning By-laws, Sec. 6.1.2.2.: Only
Board of Appeals can grant variance;
d) - Parking lot is already marginal. ZBL, Sec.
6.1.1.3 requires 1.5 : 1 ratio for parking;
Upon a motion duly:made and seconded, the Board unanimously
voted not to support this proposal.
