Mr. Faiman called the meeting to order at 7:30 p.m. and announced that there were two cases on the agenda. Wilton Falls Asso. agreed to allow the Board to hear the Farrell case first.
Timothy & Jane Farrell, Isaac Frye Highway, Lot F–096 in the Residential/ Agricultural District, requested a Special Exception under the terms of Section 16.3 of the Wilton Zoning Ordinance to permit reduced setbacks where the dimensions of a non-conforming lot would otherwise prevent compliance with the setback requirements of the underlying district.
Mr. Faiman stated that all members with the exception of Mr. Blanchard had viewed the property prior to the meeting. Mr. Blanchard stated that he was familiar with the property.
Ms. Farrell stated that she has no choice>ut to build-on to her house within the setback because of her non-conforming lot. She is planning a 16' X 24' addition. The driveway will be unchanged.
| MOTION: | Mr. Blanchard moved to approve the Special Exception, seconded by Ms. Eckstrom with all in favor. |
