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 # 11-04
A Public Hearing on the petition of Dennis A. Lee who sought a Special Permit under Section(s)
6.3.6 of the zoning bylaws in order to add a second level to a non-conforming structure on the
property located at 6 Wood End Lane in Reading, MA. The proposed 2'0" floor overhang
encroaches into the left sideline setback. 15'0 is required.
Terry Shaw, contractor, spoke on behalf of Mr. & Mrs. Lee. He reviewed the proposed plan for
the Board. The proposed addition will not be any closer to the side lot line than the existing
structure and the addition is going on the main box of the footprint. They will be extending the
existing non-conformity but not increasing the non-conformity or creating a new non-
conformity.
The Board discussed the recent revisions to the bylaws and how certain new provisions
contradict each other. The Board determined that Section 6.3.6 of the bylaws was the provision
under which the Lee's petition should be considered.
On a motion by Robert Redfern, seconded by John Jarema, the Zoning Board of Appeals voted
unanimously to grant the Applicant's request for a Special Permit under section 6.3.6 of the
zoning bylaws to permit the second-story addition to the existing non-conforming dwelling on a
non-conforming lot at 6 Wood End Lane, Reading, MA
The Special Permit was conditioned upon the following:
1. The Applicant's final construction plans for the new second-story addition shall be
submitted prior to the issuance of a Building Permit.
