5. Zoning Board of Appeals application for variance - Smiley Avenue - Frontage and
Lot Width. Mr. Burke explained the applicant is seeking to combine two small lots
into one buildable lot, which would still be non-buildable due to lack of frontage. He
said in addition to the variance, the applicant would need a Planning Board public
hearing under Subdivision Control Law for the creation ofa lot lacking frontage.
Motion: To send the Zoning Board of Appeals a positive recommendation, noting
the applicant will also need a Planning Board public hearing (Dolan- T orman)
Mr. Frank said it appeared the applicant could combine this land with the comer lot
and have enough frontage and area, eliminating the need for a variance.
Four in favor. Frank opposed. PASSES

Mr. Dolan told the board he had attended a Water Connection workshop, and the town's
water consultants would be contacting the Planning Department to get time on the
board's agenda. They would like to discuss options such as changing the types of soils,
vegetation, etc. which can be used on lawns.
Mr. Dolan also said the selectmen had discussed the possibility of wiring the Planning
Board's meeting room in order to tape its meetings.
Mr. French said the selectmen were concerned about the 10% contingency the board
requires of subdivision developers; they asked if 10% is enough to ensure the town will
not have to spend money to complete the improvements. Mr. Burke explained that
amount has always been enough, and the town has never had to fund the completion of
any subdivision. He said the Planning Board could raise the contingency.
