Minutes of the previous meeting (August 20, 1963) were read and
approved.
A discussion was held on the revision of the Appeal form and the
action form. Mr. Zwynenburg brought in a draft which was reviewed
and accepted if granted approval by the Town Attorney.
A discussion was held by Mr. Ludewig and the Board on the inter-
pretation of the Zoning Ordinance. The question was brought up -
if a trailer that has been on the property for some time is replaced
by a larger, better looking trailer, does it have to be brought in
to the Appeals Board? It was decided that Mr. Ludewig should bring
each one in for individual approval.
A discussion was held on whether someone could put up a garage
I%r and live in it (equipping it as a house). The answer was that any
dwelling must be at least 600 square feet to be lived in and the
garage would have to equal this amount of space.
Discussion - if a person bought a tract of 50 acres, how many families
could he have in an RD20 area. Answer - 115 with sewer and water.
A man on Widmer Road who has owned his house since 1942 wants to
square up his house. This will not increase his non -conformity.
Can he do it?
A motion was made by Mr. L'Archevesque that before a decision can be
made by the Board, the cases presented by the Building Inspector should
be presented by the applicants on a formal basis. Motion seconded
by Mtv Zwynenburg and passed unanimously.
Motion made to adjourn by Mr. L'Archevesque and seconded by Mr. Ifill.
Motion passed. Meeting adjourned at 9:30 p.m.
Respectfully submitted,
Madeline S. Evans, Secretary
