existing dirt floor basement cross space into livable space okay what would you like can you tell us a little bit about what you want to do yeah I had a few words prepared what's that add a few words prepared if you just wanted to yeah just you yeah
um good evening chairman men gentlemen uh my name is Jason fold I'm here today represen Miss Linda bu uh 21 Rich uh Miss buuk purchased property almost two years ago and despite the questionable repair work done and
otherwise General State of this repair she L the location and the town uh she also had a vision and a means to turn this neglected 1930s Cottage into a home for herself and her visiting kids and grandkids um considering this is Miss
considering this is Miss bouquet primary only residents are solution to minimize the disruption her day-to-day was to break the project into phases the first phas first phase which we in discuss involves creating additional living space on the basement
level as it stands the basement is a mess of utilities questionable Framing and uneven dirt floor um and I do have some photos if you guys want to look at the exist conditions uh while the condition of the home is obvious what was not apparent was the limitations set by the zoning
requirements that limited upgrades to 50% of the home's value to non-conforming Lots such as hers and I would guess most in that uh unfortunately the construction costs being what they are rectifying the existing issues and creating the finished space far far exceeds that
limitations uh I hope today that your folks are able to Grant a variance that allows mruk to move ahead of the project and we ultimately have a net benefit not only to her but the entire Community thank you can see the pictures yeah of
course it's a dirt basement my water heater sits on the the and so you going to raise the house up no no we're just grading out the basement um taking some of the soil out
put a slab down full seller or just a no so the house is built in two parts the front half I'm assuming is the original 1930's Cottage the rear was built at some point I'm not sure the exact date um the front part
the cross space is only this big so we're going to leave that alone we just want to excavate the you know 2 ft out of the rear part um to create living space the wind blows through there the the side doesn't even hold yeah it's
it's in pretty rough shape it rains in my basement do you have pictures of what you're going to do yeah what is the valuation of the home right now uh like 195 for the home itself
okay what's the cost of the what is the height of the basement right now um it ranges at its tallest it's about 7 1/2 ft and then it goes about 6 ft um as you go more into the house it's up a h it's on a hill yeah
the property on a hill the GR in the basement kind of follows that um still going a little bit more but is it on on top of R VI um the end it's at the end of Rich View and on the right correct
yes there's one house after me now I'm sorry you asked what the value of the project is it's like 180 hold quick is that is that for the total project correct yes I fig about
[Music] 200,000 wow so you said little space so are you planning to put um bed down there yeah so the one of the bedrooms upstairs will be removed move to create access to the
basement B bedroom will be move to the basement um and there'll be a small living area and a B I don't want a spiral staircase I want a full um yeah so we're at 18 little over 50%
[Applause] you take a pict I know I know I should have CU you can see you can see the I thought of it this morning the whole the whole basement is going to be a one Big Slab um the rear half the rear half yeah
this is the rear half that was that you sh right yeah you see yeah so it's this part and it should be this is all this is all you're going to do so if back here is the the older part of you kind of see
this picture soing at that wall is that a cind block or just a the block block broke I'm assuming the foundation what other Renovations are you do in this nothing once this is done our
PL to go upstairs and it has to be totally sh going the pretty shot um that's you know obviously a big dangerous is this is this the total cost of all Renovations oh you just talk in
the basement we're just probably first the upstairs I to bed Stu so yeah you're living there right now I've been there for two years I put in a new electrical panel
and put in a new Ro and Sol so everything in the cell is going to be like brand new pretty much yeah the wiring the heating all that stuff is just going to be taken out yeah
we're leaving the unit it's not too old but just for know space limitations we got to move it redirect some of adopting stuff like that creating the Zone downstairs there's a lot of vents that don't have DCT them they just in the
Flor is there any water problems now existing in the house no I don't believe so no no going D down so how deep are you how deep are you going down additionally uh like 2 ft at the deepest so you're going to bring it down 2 ft so you can be able to walk in and out you
can walk in and out right now but like I said the the grade when you walk into the back of the house that's the highest point and it slowly goes up that's what you're Excavating all that so you can make it level
correct so when you first step in it's fine but then it goes up the hill well we add a caveat to that as long as conservation approves us tomorrow oh you got to go to conservation first yeah uh that hearing is tomorrow so oh you will
about the wetlands on the at the end of right on the um my impression is we're not going have any problems with conservation just based off their report and stuff but what else so you're going to have to put a new
foundation in that that where it goes up just a slide yeah but found foundation's deep the foundation we're going we're going right above the footing so that the foundation's already down that deep correct oh okay yeah they came in to do
that do it goes up to you yeah I don't know why they back build inside but I don't understand that either it's really bizarre was intentional yeah no they done they done some pretty deep holes there and it it goes the the foundation is there so now
I have to tell people who go in the basement and want to look at it watch the Hol don't fall in the hole how far are you from the Wetland uh we're within the 100 ft I mean I don't know exactly I can pull up a site plan and survey
though so you're within the conservation correct yeah that's what triggered that um you know even though we're not touching anything outside they still want us to you know do the noi and stuff so the shape of the house is staying exactly the same I'm not adding anything
I'm not going up I'm not going out yeah just keeping it exactly the same part of it within the 50 for huh oh 50 yeah yeah yeah that's 50 that's the 100 what's the pl of the
B it seems if if I came in a few minutes late obviously but like if if the hold up is the 50% and otherwise it would have been approved I can't see why that would be onsite anybody I I don't I don't think we need I don't
think we need I the whole thing is about the 50% correct and me personally I don't like that rule yeah yeah thank you what do have an idea what it's going to cost you to do that whole thing uh
both phases I we haven't even stopped looking at the second what's what's the value of the house 195 195 I think ear he mentioned the total total renovation is going to be around 200,000 200,000
yeah I'll make a motion to way the onsite I'll second yeah all in favor yes yeah yes yes and myself yes AG of 30 days do you want to wait to see what the conservation will say or no no I'm all
right without it I I think um they want to improve the house increases the value of the house the neighborhood increases the town's tax revenue yeah yeah that's why I couldn't wrap my head on that rule and Ed told me I'm like really I think that's one thing
you're trying to get rid of right well in the new bylaws we haven't gotten rid of that that's so that's out it hasn't been approved yet so all right it's still going to the planing board and still have to make a has to go to has to go to the town Angel town
meeting after the public has to approve it do you guys do representative town meeting here I'm in pouth so no it's open yeah that must be interesting is she up you'd be right I have enough fun at my own town
meetings I'll make a motion to approve uh petition zba 25-1 as presented I'll second it all in favor yes yes yes yes and yes sounds like the majority
thank you thank you very much appreciate a good time good luck take pictures ohy jacket um so nothing further have to do in regards to zoning I'll get pushed through on online per you go they'll
they'll give you a permit downstairs okay and U you have to wait a 20-day appeal period And then after that you just make sure you get approved by conservation too all right folks thank you so much quick and
