Tuesday, August 11, 2015 — Decision
The Wilton Zoning Board has determined that the variance requested by Christine and Paul Tedder is unnecessary. The requested variance to section 17.1(e) of the Wilton Zoning Ordinance would have allowed the replacement of an existing non-conforming barn on Lot E–13, 16 Russell Hill Road, with a new, larger barn. The existing barn was thought to be non-conforming because it was closer to a lot line than allowed by section 6.2.4 of the Ordinance. The Zoning Board found that, although the location of the lot line in question is not completely clear, it is undisputed that it is no farther south than the southern bank of Blood Brook, which is more than thirty-five feet from the existing barn, so the existing barn is not non-conforming, section 17.1(e) of the Ordinance does not apply, and no variance is required.
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, September 10, 2015, and must fully specify all grounds on which the rehearing is requested.
