#1 Public Hearing – Goldie Nemeth, 1178 Hartsboro Road, Wallingford, VT.

John West

Beth Sheehe

Carol Martin

Others Present:

Peter Hathaway – Wallingford Zoning

Arthur & Goldie Nemeth

Citizens:

None.

Meeting opened at 7:00 p.m.

John West heard testimony from Peter Hathaway, and Mr. and Mrs. Nemeth.

Presented to the DRB was a request for a variance of setbacks to 20 feet from the regulation of 30 feet. Owners want to build a garage 20 feet from one side line.    

Title 24 V.S.A. § 4469. Appeal; re: variances was read and discussed. The applicants made a case that because of the location of their leach field, that the location proposed to build, 20 feet from a side yard, should be allowed.    

Meeting was closed at about 7:07 p.m. for deliberations by DRB members.  

DRB members voted 2 to 1 to allow the variance. The dissenting member, Carol Martin, felt that the applicants had not met the hardship criteria.
