Applicant seeks reduced buffer near existing shed; applicants say shed will be removed
Summary
Applicants said they will request a waiver to reduce a 75-foot buffer to roughly 35–36 feet so an existing shed will have a 15-foot rear setback; the shed will be removed and an existing driveway is covered by an easement and will remain.
During the site walk, Henry Hess described the applicants' plan to seek a waiver to reduce a 75-foot buffer in one area so that the back of an existing shed would have a 15-foot setback to the rear property line. "The waiver for the 75 foot buffer is actually to make sure that the back of that shed still has a 15 foot setback," Hess said, adding the buffer there would go from 75 down to about 35 or 36 feet.
Hess also said the structure in question will be removed and that the existing driveway is protected by an easement, so vehicle access will remain unchanged. A resident asked whether the driveway preservation is covered in deed language; Hess replied there is an existing easement that allows the driveway to be there and that it will "just stay intact," subject to formal review at the Planning Board meeting.
