Dated .& June 11 , 1979
Groton Journal Courier , June 11 , 1979
G . Hoy : Want to put an extension on existing garage , ten foot
extension . The building is 4. 5 feet from the road , re -
quires 55 feet . Requesting a variance . Ten foot extension .
J . Bells I have a question . Would this make it two feet higher ?
F . Blumberg : Yes , two feet higher .
l
M,
J . Bells How high would that make it ?
F . Blumberg : One story would take an eight foot door . I don ' t
know the existing height . The internal rafters are
eight feet . I want ten foot height .
J . Bell : Wouldn ' t that be twelve feet ?
F . Blumberg .* Just under twelve feet .
J . Bells Are you extending drive way ?
F . Blumberg .& Yes .
J . Bell : No way to put it on the other side ?
F . Blumberg : No , sides of roof pretty steep . Roof then is to come
off at a 900 angle from other roof .
G . Hoy : Other questions ?
F . Blumberg : Between existing garage and roadway , it drops into a
ditch . Piping goes across other side of road . Doesn ' t
affect main drive way .
J . Bell : This is to extend garage to put kilm in for business ?
F . Blumberg . Yes , my wife is a potter .
F . Pierson : For a hobby ?
N . Blumberg : To fill the inevitable .
J . Bell : Is there a reason to put on this garage ?
F . Blumberg : Have to have a larger building with another extension .
We can use much of the existing garage . We cannot be
short of water . Requires water lines and because of
insurance problems . Separate building insurance rates
are much lower .
G . Hoy : I adjourn the hearing . Open for discussion .
J . Bells Did you go back to see it ?
F . Pierson .* No .
G . Hoy : Yes , went by it to come here tonight . Has a high ditch .
However , it isn ' t closer to the road than the building al .
ready there .
J . Bell : No point considering about it .
F . Pierson : It is a real nice looking place if he put it to the
side . I think it probably would look nicer doing it
this way than a special building . If looking for
continuity , this is more than building an angle to it .
G . Hoy : So , anyone make a motion ?
F . Pierson : I make a motion that we grant a permit to grant variance
to Mr . and Mrs . Blumberg of 670 Old Stage Road for an
extension of their garage as requested .
F . Fouts ,* Second the motion .
G Hoy : Yes
J . Bell : Yes
Unanimous Yes
Discussing application for motorized vehicle repair shop of Sherry
O ' Brien , Hearing date , June 119 1979
F . Fout,s : I make a motion that permit be denied on the grounds that
he doesn ' t comply with the rules set by the zoning ordinance
for a special motorized permit .
G . Hoy : Second it .
F . Pierson : Yes
J . Bell : Yes
Denied unanimously
