Resident seeks to replace shed at 9 Leeward; board recommends asking only for needed relief
Summary
Arnie Gentile requested a replacement shed on a wooded lot at 9 Leeward and agreed to reduce the requested encroachment to 6 feet after board feedback; neighbors provided letters of support.
Owner Arnie Gentile asked the board to permit a 14-by-24 foot replacement shed on an RR‑zoned lot. The applicant explained the shed must accommodate a small tractor and landscape equipment and said the current shed is unsightly. The board pressed the applicant to ask only for the relief he needed; after discussion Gentile agreed to request 6 feet of relief rather than 10 feet.
Neighbors who live nearby submitted support letters and the applicant said he had contacted required abutters. The board left the hearing open to receive updated drawings reflecting the 6‑foot relief request and noted site constraints (topography, nearby oak trees and a pond overflow) that limit possible relocation.
