Notice

Frank R. Flanders has requested a variance to section 6.2.4 of the Wilton Zoning Ordinance to permit construction of a garage / storage building less than 35 feet from a lot line in the General Residence and Agricultural District Lot H-66, Isaac Frye Highway.

The Town of Wilton Zoning Board of Adjustment will continue its public hearing on this application on Tuesday, July 17, 1990 at 7:30 p.m. in the Wilton Town Hall Courtroom, 42 Main Street.

Decision

You are hereby notified that the application of Frank R. Flanders, Lot H-66, Isaac Frye Highway for a variance from Section 6.2.4 of the Wilton Zoning Ordinance, has been granted.

The variance will permit the construction of a garage / storage building approximately 20 feet from Isaac Frye Highway and 15 feet from the western boundary of the lot, as set forth in the application.

The variance was granted on the basis of the following findings of fact by the Board:

  1. The proposed use would not diminish the surrounding property values, because improvements to this property will increase the value of neighboring property.
  2. Granting the variance will be in the public interest, because vehicles and other equipment which are presently stored outside will be stored inside the garage, out of public view.
  3. Denial of the variance would cause unnecessary hardship, because the steeply sloping terrain and the location of the well and septic system prohibit building on other sites on the property.
  4. Granting the variance will do substantial justice, because this home will then be approaching par with other homes in the neighborhood with respect to necessary and desirable storage facilities, as permitted by applicable zoning ordinances.
  5. The use is not contrary to the spirit of the ordinance, because it is specifically allowed by the ordinance.

The selectmen, any party to the action or proceedings, or any person directly affected thereby may apply for a rehearing of this decision. A request for a rehearing must be filed in writing with the Zoning Board of Adjustment on or before Thursday, August 16, 1990, and must fully specify all grounds on which the rehearing is requested.
