Public Hearing
Application for Variance from Article III Section D.3 of the Bradford Zoning Ordinance, by Little Projects Investment Realty, 2552 Rt. 103 Bradford NH, Map 3, Lot 35-1
Public Hearing Open: 7:04 pm. Todd Wilkinson, representing Little Projects Investment, was virtually present via Zoom.
This is a lot line adjustment between two buildings. The previous line was interrupted by a building that is no longer there. The new line would be within 20 feet of existing buildings. Abutters present had no concern with the new line.
Fact finding:
The new property line would be less than the required side frontage/setback which is approximately 20 feet from each building. A previous variance lessens the required distance between buildings. Two abutters present had no issues with the variance. Nine abutters were noticed on February 14. Notices were posted publicly in two places and online at bradfordnh.org.
Public Hearing closed at 7:37 pm.
Board Deliberation: Revised answers to the five questions on the application were read and the Board agreed were acceptable.
Motion: Bill Duffy made a motion to approve the conditions of the Application for Variance from Article III Section D.3 of the Bradford Zoning Ordinance, by Little Projects Investment Realty, 2552 Rt. 103 Bradford NH, Map 3, Lot 35-1 as written.
Second: Jim Varney
Decision: 4-0, all in favor
This decision will be sent to the applicant, the Planning Board and posted online at bradfordnh.org.
Adjournment
