Discussion item:
Johnson Circle, proposed addition of living space to existing residential structure.
Gene Willis to present for the petitioner. Mr. Willis would like direction from the Planning Board on
whether to file for a watershed special permit. He has a preliminary plan that shows a portion of the lot is
with the 325'Non Discharge Zone. The homeowner is interested in placing an addition on the existing
home and wants to know what will be expected. The Town's Planning Consultant recommend that the
board at least require to know where the house is currently located to see if it is within the 325' zone.
Gene Willis,engineer, was present tonight to represent the petitioners"the Shaheen's". The couple is
retired and wish to remain in their home. They propose to add a one-story addition to their existing house
located near the top of the hill of Johnson Circle. Their home falls within the watershed protection
district. The Shaheen's want to avoid financial difficulty regarding the Fling for the watershed permit
and the Fling with Con/Com for wetland. Petitioner presented enlarged photos and a composite map.
The lot predates zoning, the 325 feet for the watershed district was highlighted with color-coding. Mr.
Willis explained that the 325' line runs thru the existing house. On the backside of the house,exists a
sunroom and swimming pool, which the applicant wishes to remove. They wish to build a 30' by 22'
addition on the NE corner of the house, which is away from the upgrading of the top of the hill.
Gene Willis asked the Board if the proposed addition lies within the General Zone, does the applicant
need to come back for a Special Permit? Mr. Willis further explained that the petitioner has a hardship in
that he has trouble with stairs and physically unable to go beyond the first floor. Board member Simons
stated there are wetlands located on the bottom and top and is within the watershed. Board member
Simons stated a permit is not required if you are in the general district. The applicant of the lot is near
325' of wetland from top of property. The addition will be placed on side of house outside the 325'
delineation line. Petitioner is within the non-discharge zone now, so he only needs a Special Permit for
subsurface discharge, drainage, and infiltrators.
The Board requested that Mr. Willis ask Con/Com to take a look at the wetland delineation line. The
Board asked the applicant to get a survey, locate the house on the lot, show the buffer lines on the plan,
and meet w/Con/Com. After meeting with Con/Cum the applicant should file a request a Special Permit
and then be placed on the Planning Board agenda.
