The first and second items on the agenda are variance requests from Pam Albertson and Robert Jones at 213 St. Clair Street. The first variance, previously continued, is for a two family residence on less than 10,000 square foot lot. The second variance, newly filed, is for a 5 foot side set back rather than the required 10 foot. As Pam Albertson is unable to attend, her brother Robert Jones presented images of the intended building plans and reviewed their plans for the property. Perry King again expressed concern about the possibility of flooding and belief that the creek is a waterway. Charles McGuire questioned the distance between residences. Neal Allman confirmed the number of bedrooms and square footage. When number of parking spaces needed was questioned building inspector Tim Bennett stated that he'd spoken with Pam Albertson and that she was aware of the requirement. The Board members confirmed that a rezone from RI to R2 was being sought, Mr. Jones confirmed this. Robert Jones went on to state that their intent is to improve the neighborhood, right now it looks unappealing and he believes this is a win win situation. Perry King disagreed stating that it may be a financial win for them but not a win for the town. Neal Allman states concerns with residences so close to one another. When no further questions were asked Neal Allman read the findings of fact and then called for motions. Charles McGuire made a motion to approve, when no second was made the motion died. Perry King made a motion to deny and when no second was made again the motion died. With no motion E passed a continuance on both variances was granted.
