Case 6/9/99–1
You are hereby notified that the application of Janice E. Sanders and Royden C. Sanders, Jr., co-trustees, for a variance to sections 14.3.1 and 14.3.2 of the Wilton Zoning Ordinance has been granted.
The variance will permit the subdivision of lot A-31-1, to create a new lot of approximately 0.7 acres at the corner of Tighe Farm and Stiles Farm Roads, containing the barns and surrounding grassy area. The variance is granted subject to the condition that no new construction is permitted on the lot, except for the possible future reconstruction of the barns on their existing foundations and at their present sizes. In particular, residential use of the lot is prohibited.
You are hereby notified that the application of Janice E. Sanders and Royden C. Sanders, Jr., co-trustees, for a variance to section 14.3.3 of the Ordinance of the Wilton Zoning Ordinance has been denied.
If granted, the variance would have permitted a subdivision of lot A-31-1 and the subsequent construction of a home on one of the resulting lots, which would not meet the requirements for setbacks from a wetland in the Watershed District.
The variance was denied because the Zoning Board found that (1) the lot could be subdivided in a manner which satisfies the requirements of the Ordinance, and that there was therefore no hardship; and (2) a 50% reduction in the required setback from a wetland area in the Watershed District would be inconsistent with the spirit and intent of the Ordinance.
The selectmen, any party to the action or proceedings, or any person 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 Tuesday, August 31, 1999, and must fully specify all grounds on which the rehearing is requested. (N.H. RSA 677:2)
Minutes of the August hearing.
The application for a variance from sections 14.3.2 and 3.1.10 of the Ordinance and/or an exception under the terms of RSA 674:41, paragraph II, to permit a subdivision of lot A-31-1 which would result in the creation of a lot which would not have the required frontage on a class V or better road, was withdrawn by the applicants and dismissed without prejudice by the Zoning Board.
