Commission continues review of accessory structures at 7 Connecticut River Road to allow for zoning review and revised plans
Summary
The commission continued application IWWC 26-7 for two accessory structures within floodplain soils at 7 Connecticut River Road (Kip Kohler) to the next meeting, advising the owner to consult the zoning board of appeals, provide precise dimensions and property-line setbacks, and consider moving the structure away from the lake.
Application IWWC 26-7 for two accessory structures on floodplain soils at 7 Connecticut River Road (owner Kip Kohler) was continued by the commission to allow the applicant to consult the zoning board of appeals and provide revised plans showing exact dimensions and property-line distances.
Commission discussion noted the structures sit close to the property line and that a neighbor expressed concern the nearer shed blocks a kitchen view. Staff advised the applicant to meet with the neighbor and to submit a full-size survey and precise measurements so the commission and the building official can determine whether the structures meet zoning and wetlands requirements. A commissioner said the structures appeared to be metal sheds set on the ground with screw anchors and that additional construction details will be needed for the building official to review.
The commission voted to continue the matter to its next meeting and requested the applicant provide updated drawings, property-line measurements, and, as needed, a zoning board application if relief is required.
Next steps: applicant to consult neighbor and zoning board as appropriate, supply revised diagrams, and return to the commission for further review.
