Summary

Attorney John Kelty told the board that a previously denied ZBA petition for 13 West Dane Road was confused by mismatched plans; he filed a corrected petition and the board authorized refiling to the Board of Appeals.

Attorney John Kelty told the Planning Board that a ZBA petition for 13 West Dane Road had been denied because the filing and plan were unclear. Kelty said he has filed a corrected petition and the board voted to allow the applicant to refile with the Board of Appeals.

Kelty said the earlier submission included language and drawings that suggested a new addition when the applicant’s intent was to add a rear deck and stair that triggers a side‑yard/front‑yard relief. “The petition that was denied was properly denied because it was confusing,” Kelty said. He has prepared a corrected plan and will ask the board for the building permit file before returning to ZBA.

The Planning Board voted to authorize the applicant to refile the corrected petition with the Zoning Board of Appeals; the board recorded the vote as unanimous.

Next steps: Attorney Kelty will obtain relevant building‑permit records, file the corrected application and return to the ZBA with the clarified plan set.
