ZBA continues home-business special exception for 'Weather Guard Industries' at 63 Main St. to March 11
Summary
Applicant Dean Secchiaroli requested a continuance to supply additional information about deliveries, screening and operations for 'Weather Guard Industries'; the Atkinson ZBA granted the continuance unanimously to the March 11, 2026 meeting.
The Atkinson Zoning Board of Adjustment on Jan. 14 continued a special-exception application from Dean Secchiaroli to operate a home business called "Weather Guard Industries" at 63 Main St. The board set the matter for continued review at its March 11, 2026 meeting to allow the applicant to provide additional operational details.
Secchiaroli told the board he intends to relocate office functions from other locations to less than 600 sq ft of basement space at his Atkinson property, keep storage largely inside the barn for personal items, and avoid signage or outside visitor parking. He described his business as exterior-elevation work, providing facades, roofing, waterproofing and exterior-envelope services.
Board members focused on deliveries and the contractor nature of the work. Member John Troy read the Zoning definition for an RR2 Home Occupation and said he did not believe the current proposal fit that definition if deliveries and outside business activity continued. Secchiaroli said deliveries would typically be box trucks carrying small pallets (about 4 by 4 feet) that would be brought onto the property and moved inside.
Neighbors Jason Jones and Paul Porter said they were concerned about truck traffic and recalled a previous tenant who ran a tree company that generated loud truck activity. Secchiaroli asked for a continuance to gather more information and to show how the proposed operation would conform to the zoning rules. Member Corey Barnes moved to continue the application to March 11, 2026; Member John Troy seconded, and the board voted 3-0 to grant the continuance.
