Commission discusses possible additional mausoleum and lot constraints
Summary
The board discussed a request from a buyer who purchased additional lots and may seek another mausoleum; members emphasized that any new mausoleum would require a return to the board for approval and noted concerns about lot dimensions and drawer clearance.
Board members discussed a prospective request for an additional mausoleum after a buyer purchased four more lots. Sexton Doug Sheehan said the person would need to return to the board for approval if they pursue another mausoleum. The commission reviewed lot dimensions (a lot is 5 feet by 10 feet) and raised questions about whether mausoleum drawers could extend into neighboring lots; Sheehan said current mausoleum panels slide and have clearance but that a new installation would require review.
Members asked whether the drawer mechanism could encroach on adjacent lots and whether burials sometimes require temporary removal or replacement of existing stones during digging. Penny Wu and other staff said they would advise the prospective buyer of the need to return to the board with details about size and placement.
No formal motion was made on the matter at the meeting; the sexton is to contact the prospective buyer with instructions on the approval process.
