Zoning Board of Appeals Recommendations:
Dr. John Carns Walton - 29 Henry Street
MOTION: To send a negative recommendation to the Zoning
Board of Appeals for the following reasons:
1. The application strongly derogates from the
intent of the Zoning By -Law as it relates to
residential density.
2. The proposed lot sizes are only
approximately one half of the required
minimum lot size in the R -2 Zone; therefore,
creation of two non- conforming lots would in
effect double the density permitted by the
Zoning By -Law in this neighborhood.
(Quinn - Flynn) All in favor. PASSES.
