Variance for build factor 
both petitions together 
Chairman Carroll read the petitions. He will hear (115 High St 
and 111 High St). This is a SRB district. Paul Brodmerkle, Site Design Professionals, 
engineer, appeared with the homeowner. The property got an ANR in 1993. Mr. 
Humplik purchased the property as lot A and B. He put a pool in the back yard. The lot 
line is too close to the pool enclosure, and he wants to move the line. He did not change 
the area of each lot. Neither lot conforms to the build factor, but meets all other 
requirements. There is more than 75ft in each lot for frontage. The driveway on lot B 
serves lot A. 80ft frontage on lot A. There is 3 times the area needed for each lot. 
Neither lot complies with build factor. Lot A=34.95, when changed=34.86. lot B=28.41, 
when changed=28.95. 20ft of extra space outside of the pool area. Chairman Carroll said 
your ANR was in 1993, prior to the build factor by-law. Mr. Brodmerkle said the shape 
of the lot will never comply. Chairman Carroll said the builders can make it comply. 
Mr. Feeney said you are subdividing and creating 2 non conforming lots. Have you had 
any meetings with the Planning Board subsequent to 1993. (Yes, Feb. 2012 ANR). 
Chairman Carroll said they approved knowing they don’t have the build factor? Mr. 
Brodmerkle said it is not their jurisdiction. Mr. Marini said it was previously non 
conforming? (YES). You have 115ft through the building. Can you build on that lot? 
(YES). The only thing you need relief on is the build factor (YES). Chairman Carroll 
said you have no plans to build now? (NO) Chairman Carroll said there are time limits, 
best plan to do something - trying to preserve his rights. Mr. Brodmerkle said he put the 
pool in before the build factor, now needs to change the line. Mr. Marini asked how 
much moving the lot line (20ft for a distance of 50ft). Chairman Carroll said this is a 
pork chop lot. Would you be facing the back yard of the front house? Mr. Feeney stated 
he would like to look at the site. Chairman Carroll referred to Mr. Pando and the Build 
Factor By-Law. Mr. Feeney said he did not anticipate difficulties. Close the hearing
