Member Dale Taylor questioned sharing of driveway and the applicant explained how it was used
and also that there was a second driveway. Also, Member Taylor asked if the same septic system
would serve two houses, and Mr. Moore said it would, and the Health Department had already
approved it.
Member Mark Baranello asked about accessory structures, and Attorney Snyder stated one
primary house per lot was allowed, and he assumed CEO Kevin McMahon went over this; the
applicant explained that this was the reason that the other dwelling was attached by a breezeway
and, yes, he has reviewed everything with the CEO. The proposed garage would be 26 ft. by 77 ft.
The one-chair salon will also occupy a portion of this garage and will be well ventilated.
Member Baranello asked the applicant if he was aware of the parking requirements for a home
occupation, and he responded he did not know. Member Baranello read from the Code. The need
for a sign was discussed, with Member Sara Sirois quoting from the Code. She also questioned
what would happen if the salon was expanded, and Attorney Snyder advised the Board could
specify their wishes in their final decision. He also read the definition of a Home Occupation for
clarification.
At the request of the Chairman, the Board Secretary read aloud Part II of the Short Environmental
Assessment Form. Negative responses were obtained to all questions in Part II. A motion was
