Correspondence
from Joseph Kent, advising that the property has been incorrectly identified on
a public notice as situated in the General Residence zoning district. Instead,
Attorney
Joel Fishman, representing the Applicants, reviewed the history of the
matter. Mr. Fishman indicated that
during attempted mortgage re-finance it was discovered that the house was less
than 20 feet from a jog in one of the sidelines.. Applicant is seeking a variance from minimum
setback from side or rear lot lines,
Mr.
Reed from Toomey of Toomey-Munson & Associates, Inc, explained the history
of the parcel. Mr. Reed indicated that
there was a DPW request for an adjustment of a jog.. Apparently there was a mistake in plans at
the land court and the problem was not caught until there was a review of plans
for a mortgage refinance. The corner of
the screened in porch is 16.2 feet from the lot line.
There
was discussion on possible explanations for how this happened.
John
made motion to approve variance from Sharon Zoning By-Law sec. 2434b noting
substantial hardship.
