ZBA October 5, 2010 Agenda

There will be a public meeting of the Goffstown Zoning Board of Adjustment on Tuesday, October 5, 2010 at 7:00 p.m. in Room 107 located in the Goffstown Town Hall, 16 Main Street, Goffstown, NH 03045:

Approval of Minutes:

1. Minutes from the September 7, 2010 meeting are available at the Zoning Department or online at http://www.goffstown.com/minutes.html.

Public Hearings:

1. (Continued from September 7, 2010 mtg.) Brookfield Investment Group, Inc., applicant, is seeking a special exception and a variance to allow an excavation of approximately six to eight feet of material (623,048 sq. ft. of excavation area) from two adjacent properties located on Normand Road (Map 5, Lot 61-1) and Wallace Road (Map 5, Lot 95-1). The applicant is seeking a special exception authorized by Section 3.11.I.4 of the Zoning Ordinance to allow the excavation on Lot 61-1, which is located in an Agricultural District and permitted by special exception. The applicant is seeking a variance from Section 3.11.I.4 of the Zoning Ordinance because Lot 95-1 is located in a Residential-1 District where an excavation is not permitted. The property located on Wallace Road (Map 5, Lot 95-1) is in the Residential-1 District and is owned by Brookfield Investment Group, Inc. The property located on Normand Road (Map 5, Lot 61-1) is in the Agricultural District and is owned by Normand Road, LLC.
   The ZBA voted 5-0-0 at the 08/03/2010 meeting this application does not have regional impact.
2. (Continued from September 7, 2010 mtg.) Christopher P. Tyler, applicant, is seeking a variance to allow the placement of a shed that will be setback 2ft from the side property line and 3ft from the rear property line, whereas Section 5.1 of the Goffstown Zoning Ordinance requires a 10ft setback for from side and rear property lines. The property is located at 16 Upton Lane (Map 36, Lot 62) in a Residential-1 District.
   The ZBA voted 5-0-0 at the 09/07/2010 meeting this application does not have regional impact.
3. Linda & Michael Levasseur, applicants, are seeking a time extension for a special exception previously granted by the ZBA. On October 5, 2004 the ZBA granted a special exception allowing the construction of a single-family dwelling on a non-conforming lot. The special exception was extended two years on June 6, 2006 until October 5, 2008. The special exception was extended a second time for a period of two years on October 7, 2008 until October 5, 2010. Section 15.3.2.3 of the Zoning Ordinance authorizes the time extension. Property is located off Portage Road (Map 9, Lot 43-8) in an Agricultural District.
   Prior to the public hearing the ZBA needs to vote on regional impact.
4. Madelene Enman, applicant, is seeking a variance to allow the construction of a 36’ x 16’ shed addition to an existing detached garage. The variance is required because the proposed addition will be setback approximately 5ft from the front property line, whereas Section 4.3 of the Zoning Ordinance requires a front yard setback of 35ft. The property is located at 15 Leslie Drive (Map 6, Lot 59E) in the Agricultural District. The property is owned by the Kenneth & Madelene Enman Revocable Trust.
   Prior to the public hearing the ZBA needs to vote on regional impact.
5. The Webster Lodge of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows, applicant, is seeking a variance to allow the construction of a freestanding sign that does not conform to the required front yard setback. The variance is required because the sign will be located 1ft from the front property line, whereas a 10ft setback is required. Section 6 of the Zoning Ordinance is affected. The property is located at 42 Mountain Road (Map 4, Lot 85) in a Residential-1 District.
   Prior to the public hearing the ZBA needs to vote on regional impact.
