Summary

Two cottage owners received approval for modest additions within the shoreland district after board verified existing footprints and 30% expansion limits; the board capped one addition at 300 sq ft (instead of 312) and required photo documentation after completion.

Owners Joy and William Kelly presented plans for modest additions to two cottages in the village shoreland district. The board reviewed existing footprints and computed allowable 30% expansions; one addition was adjusted to a 300-square‑foot cap (reduced from 312 in the applicant’s request) to comply with the code, and the second addition (85.5 sq ft) fit within allowable limits.

The board approved the applications with the condition that the applicants submit photos within 20 days of project completion and provide any requested as-built information. Staff was advised to record the approvals and confirm compliance with footprint and septic/bedroom limitations if relevant.
