PUBLIC HEARING-CAMERON GRADY-to operate a repair shop at 1264 Haselton Rd.
CALL TO ORDER-7:05 p.m. by Chairman Tom Hinman
*Seeking a variance from the 200’ setback from residential use.
*Bob Girardin asked if it would be a hardship for Cameron if his application was denied. Cameron stated that it would, since this is how he supports his family.
*Cameron explained that he wishes to do light duty repairs and vehicle maintenance.
*There would be no vehicle storage, no wrecks and no towing. He might occasionally have a personal vehicle for sale.
*No signage.
*He will basically be taking care of his present customers.
*His garage is behind his house and has two bays.
*Cameron has spoken with the nearest neighbor, Steve Bruce and has agreed to a privacy fence.
*Bob Guynup has talked with the town attorney and was informed that a variance was the correct action to be taken.
*Alex Parish was concerned about the economic impact this would have on other properties in the area. He noted that the Cresseys are trying to sell and move.
*Bill Parish felt that the project would not do anything good for the neighborhood.
*Bob Guynup noted that the board has previously been instructed by the town attorney to judge each application on its own merit.
*Mark Holzer spoke in favor of the application stating that this is also a hardship on the local people that depend on Cameron to work on their vehicles.
*Cameron stated that there are hedges on 3 sides of the property and he plans on installing a lattice fence so that cars will not be seen. He is hoping to have vehicles that are on the lot no more than two days.
*Dorene Dempsey questioned the code violations on the previous garage that Cameron operated. It was explained that there were not code violations but misunderstandings. Cameron left that building because of misunderstanding with his landlord.
*Bob Cressey spoke stating that they are moving but not because of this project. Their concerns were noise, number of cars and the possibility of oil, etc. running into the river. There was also concern over the economic impact and if it would be detrimental to the sale of their house.
*Matt Dempsey questioned if anyone had taken into account the economic impact and the possible depreciation of adjoining property owners. The board stated that they had not studied this.
*There was some discussion by the board of having a condition that vehicles waiting to be worked on be parked in back of Gary Grady’s house. Bob Guynup felt this would not be a logical condition since there is a possibility that Gary could sell his house at any time.
*Randy Preston spoke in favor of granting the permit.
*Brigette Levitt spoke in favor of granting the permit.
*Ceil Stephenson spoke in favor of the project.
*Public hearing closed at 8:15 p.m. upon a motion by Aldo Aquino, seconded by Jim Carmelitano; carried unanimously.
