NEARING: Alice M. Letarte[ 7:30 P.N~
Secretary Morton read the legal notice in the appeal of Alice M. Letarta who requested
a variation of See. 7, Para. 7.23 and permission under Sec. 6, Para. 6.31 & 6.62 of the
Zo~-g By-Law so as to permit the subdivision of a parcel of land into three lots,
with a dwel]~_~g located on one of the lots being 13t from the side line on the premises,
located at the east side of 0sgood Street and west side of Court St., at Stevens
Corner and known as ~15 Court Street.
Mrs. Letarte 'appeared in her o~n behalf and explained her desire to have the lets set
up as shown on the plans so that if it ever became necessary for her to sell any land
everything would be in order. She is a widow with fi~e childre~ and may at some
future time need financial help, which the sale of this land would assist her.
Atty. Ralph E. Finck, an abutter, was recorded in favor. There were no other abutters
present and there was no opposition.
Mr. Shields made a motion to take the petition under advisement. Mr. Morton seconded
the motion and the vote was unanimous.
In eeeoutivo session, an analysis was made with respect to the typical lot sizes in-
fluoncing the neighborhood and it was found that the lots proposed were net incon-
sistent in size of most of the lots in the ~ediate area. The Board also took into
consideration that each of the lots could he serviced by public sanitary sewerage.
Upem motion of Member Morton and seconded by Momher Lund, it was voted unanimously
GRANT the petition for the following reasons:
a. That the proposed lots would not be in derogation ~o the neighborhood.
b. That the proposed utilization of the land was in the best interest and consistent
with good land
o. That the lot sizes were not in non-conformity with the typical influences of the
neighborhood.
d. To deny said petition would result in a substantial hardship to the petitioner.
MARI~O:

being held up pending receipt of information from Tc~n Counsel. The 90-day waiting
period would expire next menth.
