PB-23-04 – Donaldson – Eddy Road – One lot subdivision & site plan - Sketch

PB-24-04 – Porcelli – 3252 Green Tree Drive – Amend original site plan – The applicant would like to build an addition and porch onto his residence; however, the porch will encroach upon the front setback. Discussion followed on the NCD zoning code, whether this was a matter for the Planning Board or ZBA, and whether a public hearing was necessary. Board consensus was the Planning Board would act upon this case, waiving a public hearing. Amendments to the NCD code will be necessary to refer similar applications to the ZBA. Motion made by Kevin Rooney, seconded by Brian Gagne, to amend individual site plan allowing encroachment into front setback as shown on submitted drawings. All in favor; motion carried.
