a dwelling on a lot in the R-2 zoning district containing 21 feet
of frontage where 150 feet is required.
A letter from Mr. Joyce dated 6/4/84 requesting a reconsideration
of the Board's decision was read and placed on £ile.

SECOND:

by Mr. Trepanier to reconsider the petition of Ralph
Joyce.
by Mr. Frizelle
In favor - 3 (Frizelle, Trepanier, Soule)
Opposed - 2 (Serio, Nickerson)
Motion fails
MOTION: by Mr. Frizelle to reconsider the reconsideration.
SECOND: by Mr. Trepanier
Discussion: Member Frizelle said that the reason for is motion is
that he was not present at the last meeting and the petition was
denied because the vote was three to one and the motion to grant
the variance did not carry. It seems to him that the variance was
not denied for a specific reason but because the motion did not
carry. It would be in the petitioner's best interest for the
Board to reconsider the motion since the five members are here
tonight.
Member Trepanier agreed with Mr. Frizelle.
Member Soule added that only four members should have voted
because Mr. Frizelle was not present at the continued public
hearing when further testimony was accepted.
Mr. Nickerson felt that the petitioner had a fair hearing.
VOTE : In favor - 2 (Frizelle, Trepanier)
Opposed - 5 (Serio, Nickerson, Soule)
The motion fails and the petition is not reconsidered.
The #illows - Special Permit o Willow/Turnpike'Streets
Sitting: Serio, Trepanier, Nickerson, Vivenzio
Member Vivenzio pointed out that it has not been two years since
the Board previously denied a Special Permit for a heliport and
that the Board must find that there have been changes since the
previoius petition.
The Board felt that the change in the proposed location of the
heliport allowed this petition.
NOTION: by Mr. Nickerson to deny the Special Permit.
SECOND: by Mr. Vivenzio
VOTE : Unanimous - motion carries - petition denied.
