Board Member Kubiak asked Planner Schell if the applicant owned the driveway or if it was in
an easement. Planner Schell stated that it is a flag lot, so the driveway is owned by the property
owner. Board Member Kubiak also questioned if there were any setback or size issues with
addition. Planner Schell stated that the addition does not exceed the maximum 3% or 4,000
square foot maximum lot coverage regulation that is allowed in the zoning ordinance. Board
Member Kubiak also asked if the handwritten comments on the plot plan and roof plan would be
binding. Planner Schell confirmed that the comments would be binding since they are on the
exhibits provided by the applicant.
Applicant Laura Cronin, located at 3160 Johnson Road was sworn in. Ms. Cronin stated that the
driveway is at least sixteen (16) feet wide and that the property was re -platted in 2000 and that
they own eight (8) feet of the driveway on east side due to a common access easement. The
applicant responded to Vice -Chair Lambert's question about the driveway by stating that the
driveway was installed in 2001 and is now crushed asphalt and that no changes to the driveway
are proposed. The applicant stated that she is requesting to add on to the existing structure
because it is small, making it difficult to take care of any elderly members of the family that
might need assistance. The addition will be a single story, will match the existing building and
will meet all requirements of the zoning ordinance. Mrs. Cronin also stated that addition will
comply with the drainage plan that was originally submitted for construction of the house. The
drainage on the lot is from north to south, so the addition will not affect the drainage pattern.
A motion was made to approve ZBA-629
