Stockbridge Planning Board
June 27, 2006

MINUTES

Present: Vice-Chairman Gary Pitney, Eric Plakun, Paul Coates, Gary Pitney, Eugene Talbot, and Barbara Cohen Hobbs.
 
Absent: Doug Rose, and Robert Bartle

Member Coates made a motion to approve the minutes of June 13, 2006 as written.  Member Talbot seconded this motion and it was unanimously approved, 5-0.

John Kiley and Sandra Greenspan came to this meeting for a recommendation on a request for a special permit under Section 6.1.2 from the Board of Selectmen.  The project is the construction of a new garage. The lot is nonconforming as to the setback.  The property is located at 21 Glendale Road in the R-C zone.  

The new garage will be located approximately 11 feet from the boundary line so therefore will be less nonconforming. The existing garage is located approximately 150 feet from the river that borders the property and the new garage will be located closer to the river.  

Member Plakun stated that there were two issues that being the proposal is decreasing the nonconformity but the fact that it is currently located within 150 feet from the river may fall under Section 6.5 LPOD which would require another special permit.  

Member Plakun made a motion that the board in reviewing the application found that it did not include accurate measurements to the side line or the river and although the plan to rebuild the garage which would be 11 feet from the side line decreases the nonconformity they may be increasing the nonconforming by moving it closer to high water mark of the river.  The board recommends that the Board of Selectmen should consider the fact that the property may be located in the Lake and Pond Overlay district when making their determination.  Member Hobbs seconded this motion and it was unanimously approved, 5-0.

Pam Sandler represented Burt and Ellen Downes in a request for a Special Permit under Section 6.1.2 from the Board of Selectmen.  The property is located at 31 Interlaken Road in the R-2 zone.  The proposal is the construction of a screened porch which would be located 32 feet from the side line and the requirement is 35 feet.  Member Hobbs made a motion that the board recommends to the Board of Selectmen approval for the Special Permit request under Section 6.1.2C for the construction of the screened porch.  Member Plakun seconded this motion and it was unanimously approved, 5-0.

Foresight Land Services represented Mark Faber in a request for approval of Form A for the division of property.  Member Hobbs stated that the remaining land and its intended use was not depicted on the plan. The applicant will come back at the boards’ next meeting with lot 12 and its intended use depicted on a new plan.  

Member Hobbs made a motion to go into executive session. Member Plakun seconded this motion and it was unanimously approved, 5-0.

Member Hobbs made a motion to leave the executive session. Member Plakun seconded this motion and it was unanimously approved, 5-0.

Member Hobbs made a motion to adjourn this meeting at 8:15 P.M.  Member Coates seconded this motion and it was unanimously approved, 5-0.   

Respectfully submitted,

Jaimy Messana
Planning Board Secretary
