Motion made by Mr. Eagan and seconded by Mr. Collins to grant the Variance
for John Taylor for Thornton Road as per plans submitted. All were in favor.
Motion made by Mr. Eagan and seconded by Mrs. Holm to grant the Special
Permit for Peter DeTrolio. The feeling of the Board was that Mr. DeTrolio
acted in good faith and produced all of the approvals that he thought were
required and was granted a permit to build. It was not considered a building
by the Building Inspector nor the Fire Chief, therefore did not require a
Variance or a Building Permit and it was only after the fact that it became
a subject of discussion. The Board felt that this use is less detremental
than the previous gas station use. All were in favor.
Motion made by Mr. Eagan and seconded by Mrs. Holm to grant the Variance
for Winslow B. Schurman as per plans submitted. Motion made by Mr. Flynn
to table the vote because he feels it is pertinent whether the abutting
properties were in common ownership before zoning. No second. Mr. Wojtkiewicz,
Mrs. Holm, Mr. Eagan and Mr. Collins in favor of the motion to grant.
Mr. Flynn opposed. Variance granted.
Minutes of September 3, 1985 were read and approved with the note that
Mr. Seskevich was granted a Special Permit not a variance.
Bills were signed and Decisions were signed for Seskevich, Todesco and White.
Meeting adjourned at 10:00pm
Respectfully submitted
Eric E. Butler
Clerk
