1. HEARING: M. & S. Building & Const. Co., Inc.
Mr. Morton read the legal notice in the appeal of M. & S. Building & Const. Co.
who requested a variation of Sec. 6.31 of the Zoning By-Law so as to permit the
combination of lots 82 & 83, lots 80 & 81 and lots 78 & 79 to meet provisions of
Section 6.62 and to combine lots 70 & 71 into one lot having less than 10, OOO sq.
ft. but having the required street frontage of not less than 1OO feet on the
premises located at the south side of Belmont Street; 100 feet distant from the
corner of Patriot Street.
Mr~ John J. Shields represented the petitioner and spoke in favor of and explained
the basis of the desire to have the petition granted. These lots were lots of
record prior to the present zoning by-laws and owned byVillage Land Company. The
north side of ~elmont Street is zoned Industrial and the opposite side is zoned
residential. Belmont Street is partially sewered and watered. He desires to
combine the lots as explained in order to meet the provisions of Section 6.62.
All lots have the required street frontage.
Joseph Medolo, 24 Marblehead St., was opposed because he felt that in the future
the playground area of Grogan's Field would become obsolete and that we should
preserve as much open space for recreation and public parks as possible.
Mr. Burke made a motion to take the petition under advisement; Mr. Morton seconded
the motion and the vote was unanimous.
MERRIMACK NATERIALS, INC.
The renewal of the earth removal bond was discussed. The B,,il~g Inspector
feels that the bond should be made higher. Mr. Burke made a motion that petitioners
must apply for a renewal of the bond 60 days prior to the renewal date. Mr.
Morton seconded the motion. Mr. Burke made a motion to keep the same amount of
the bond. Mr. Morton seconded the motion and the vote was ~-yes and Mr. O'Leary,
no, he thinks the bond is too low.
J.F. WHITE CONST. CO. - Steinberg, Earth Removal Permit:
Mr. Morton made a motion to accept the $1,OOObond and the previous conditions to
still apply. Mr. Drummond seconded the motion and the vote was unanimous. The
Town Treasurer will be notified to release the $25,00Obondby unanimous vote of
the Board.
M. & S. BLDG. & CONST. CO., INC.
Mr. Burke made a motion to GRANT the variance; seconded by Mr. Gilman and
'voted unanimously. The Board felt that the proposed subdivisionwill be the
highest and best land planning for end use. The lots were not in non-conformity
with the typical influences of the neighborhood and the petitioner would suffer
substantial hardship if the petition were denied.
