The meeting convened at the Town House at 7:00 PM. Regular members present were Waine Whittier, Alan Williams, Creston Gaither, and Ed Lawless. Also present was Andy Dunbar of Thayer Engineering in Farmingdale. Minutes of the February 22 meeting were read and accepted.
Andy is consulting with Greg and Carrie Schulze, owners of land at 568 Ithiel Gordon Road depicted on tax map 11 as lot 43-P. There is a 3 bedroom existing house, which is small and compact; the bedrooms are on the top floor which is reached by a very steep staircase. The Schulzes would like to build an apartment on the back end of the existing garage for their parents. This would be within the existing footprint of the structure. They have a septic system which has been upgraded to support 4 bedrooms. The proposed apartment would have a small bathroom but no kitchen. The existing structure lies within the Shoreland Zone. The Shoreland Zoning Ordinance (SZO) was briefly reviewed and Andy was advised that as long as the project stays within the existing footprint no new SZO permit is required.
It was agreed that the Mooring Ordinance which the Board has been discussing should probably wait until Winthrop has resolved the issues it is having with its Mooring Ordinance.
The meeting adjourned at 7:35 PM.
