Mr. Peter Reynolds was here to represent the file. Mr. Reynolds
stated they wish to build a Dutch colonial style for professional
offices. The building would be consistent with the residential style
of Stone Ridge. The plan is a copy of an 18th
Century house with three small gables facing the street. The
clapboards would be white. There would be two floors of office space.
In anticipation of DOT regs. I would like only one curb cut. I
plan on subdividing the site and provide easy access. The location is
determined by the size of proposed lots and meet the required setbacks
of the town. There are a few good trees left and plan on keep existing
hardwood vegetation. I have created enough parking to meet the codes.

OLD BUSINESS
Mondini 77.2-1-8.300 Area Variance
Comments from Sue:
1. Addition to residence can be achieved by other means
2. Change would create undesired situation to the neighboring properties
3.No screening or substantial distance currently in violation of another area variance request
4.Adverse physical conditions can be discussed in terms of the
undesired change in the neighborhood. This request is self -created as
a result of a family run business needs to expand family/working space
-Public Hearing was closed last month.
- There is 58 feet between the houses
-If they other neighbor comes and wants to put an addition on that same side how could it be denied?
- Lot is 136 feet wide, if approved it would take up most of the lot.
- Above ground pool could be moved.
- Most of the Board felt that there are other ways to achieve this addition other than granting the variance
***** There was nothing more on the tape, so I have no decision on Mondini***** | |
