TOWN OF CANTON PLANNING BOARD MEETING WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 18, 2013 SALAH MEETING ROOM 7:00 P.M. TOWN HALL MINIITF,S Present: Jeremy Comeau, Chairman Kristin Mirliani, Vice Chairman Chris Connolly Also present: Dave Sanderson, Professional Services Corporation Karen Lawlor, Planning Board Administrative Assistant Chairman Jeremy Comeau called to order the Planning Board meeting of September 18, 2013 at 7:00 p.m. 1St Item on the Agenda — 95 SHERMAN STREET- ANR (Division of Land to Create Lots 1 and 2) (Springdale Gardens, LLC). Scott Lenhart introduced himself as part owner of this property. They are proposing to create two (2) lots in accordance with the ANR plan they submitted. One lot will have 75 feet of frontage, the other lot will have 100 feet of frontage, and they meet the other dimensional requirements. Valerie Metsika, 62 Sherman Street, stated that the Board should carefully consider this plan. First, are the Plans certified? This doesn't qualify as an ANR; it is a scenic way; it is the bare minimum between the house and the lot line; this is historic property and should fall under the Zoning Laws; it is an aesthetic violation; she opposes the Plan, it is an eyesore; the neighbors need to put their foot down and they have not been given respect. Mr. Comeau explained that the Planning Board has no jurisdiction over zoning requirements. Our hands our tied and it is under state law. If the Application has access and frontage they have a right by law, and if anything is removed, for example, stone wall or trees that are on Town Property, they have to get permission from the Planning Board. Further, he stated that the house is historic and seeing this is on scenic way the builder should build something in character with the existing neighborhood.
