that helps um so yeah so basically just quick summary so you know we're here for the the SI set back variance due to kind of unique conditions with the you know Wetlands approaching the backyard the flood plane and the uh train enement um and last time kind of talking with you all you know the two things that you had asked was to hear from the neighbors
directly um and we spoke with them again and they sent in a letter that hopefully you all seen that a second um but they have you no objections um and that you had asked us to shrink the size of the addition and move it back off the property line which we did as well um so hopefully you kind of satisfy the two criteria that you all were looking for
and great thank you um and yes so I will s to the record so we've got a letter from Michael J aie Cynthia W asie and Mary E asy residents at 113 win th AV um and they submitted a letter saying that we that undersigned all residents at 113
winre AV writing messages 01867 have no objections to Mr James Gallagher's variant request to construct a two story Edition with a non-conforming sidey setback of the property located at 119 win B in BR Massachusetts respect respectfully submitted and by all though
just just to clarify that they latter they identified themselves as residents but the they're actually the owners right okay see okay and that's going to be included as part of the record as well yeah yes so um anyone on the board have
any comments or things I want to talk about no no I appreciate you guys kind of taking taking what we our concerns and trying to address them as obviously as best as possible so yeah we definitely appreciate the efforts that you guys
made in a very short amount of time I would imagine that it's probably not necessarily fun going to the architect and saying hey guess what we got to make everything yeah but we we definitely appreciate the efforts that you guys made yeah I did it
um did you change the layout or anything did they so we haven't gone quite as far with them yet cuz we had talked to them preliminarily and they were like well there might be changes so they not spend a whole ton of money and time doing integrate designs we were going to have the basic concept and then iron out all the details when we kind of got to the Finish
Line cuz one of them is your room correct yeah your bed yeah you're suggesting putting the bathroom on the other side and yeah that's certainly well I just suggest that you have a a dead wall yeah I would use those windows for you know why block them with a with
a walk-in closet closet yeah you know what I mean yeah so so yeah that's the next step is to talk to them and kind things around a little bit Yeah cuz you can put the closet towards the bedroom 3 yeah you use that whole wall but uh did it affect your so you still have to go
back and design the whole U interior over again yeah yeah yeah it was just just for The Neighbor Next Door even if he leaves for the future if someone wanted to build I think it's much space possible between the
both houses yeah and then the neighbors themselves I saw that there were three individuals I know that there was one one gentleman that was somewhat failing health and then there were I believe his daughter that you mentioned that with him as well or so married couple who are both had some health issues the daughter is Mary okay
and then the yeah M are the are the are the owners okay great you have anything to add Tara no okay uh sounds good and anyone want does anyone want to make a motion I I got it right here if you want I'll
make it got the information I just [Applause] okay oh this is a lot easier than the special perm um okay I move
to petitioners oh right there all right I move to Grant the petitioners James W Gallagher and marel Gallagher a variance from oh heck section I don't have that memorized either I think I
should be on there right right um variance under reading zoning bylaws sections 4.5.2 6.0 6.3 and 7.4 of the zoning bylaws um in order to
um um we add the addition as shown on the plan dated the updated plan oh yeah dated November 4th 2024 and revised on February 6 2025 from muray
Mech Engineering Services of andoer Massachusetts for 119 wiri Avenue and Massachusetts um um all as um shown on that application I'll second do you want to add anything
about this Conservation Commission I forget what's the status that you still have to go through conservation after okay okay cool all right uh all right second in all in favor all right any oppos all
right yeah sorry to bring no we appreciate obviously we appreciate the efforts that you guys made and obviously it's very we have to pay attention as we discussed last time just kind of how things move forward at that point in time so having everything
in the record and having everything there certainly makes things a lot easier for everybody yeah yeah and yeah just get as you've heard getting a variant is very difficult there's very specified very specific criteria that we strictly interpret but in this case you
met it you are the rare case so um yeah well thank you I appreciate it and one of next steps Amanda so the next steps is um I'll draft the decision Andrew or the will go
over it sign it um and we'll post to the town clerk and send the mailer out so we have about two weeks to get that done okay and once I post it with the town clerk starts the 20-day appeal period And once the 20-day appeal period is up you can pick up the certified copy from
the town clerk okay and then go the registry D with your plans and record it there and then you go back to the building department with they recording oh okay so and I'll put that all in once I post it I'll put all that information and your application permit and like a
link to the regist we okay do you need to go in person to record or do you do it online you can record online you have to do no you have to do I have to go in person when I did it yeah okay and I went with the wrong paperwork so I have to come back I think there's some things
you can do but I'm not sure this yeah can um the plans just have to the plot plan or do we have to have the final architectural drawings should just be the plot yeah I'll just do just the plot PL you guys got half of this final okay
okay and I do have a copy of that I just have to print it then I'll also mail a copy of that to you as well bring the original copies with you to the registry of deeds I made that mistake yeah so trip and one last
question the environmental um can can can we go there conation yeah uh can can we go to their meeting before the 20-day period is up or just want have to wait till the end
of the 20day period now um you can start that period um he has it should be online with his meetings are I think everything is due about two weeks before yeah I'm not sure what type of permit you need depending
on what permit you need it's kind of a little more of a similar process um I think if it's a notice intent or an RDA you have to notify your buts as well you can use the same list use for this one as long as it was requested within six
months but you actually handle the mailing and it has to be like certificate of mailing but check will go over with you awesome well thank you all I appreciate it thank you thank you the project night okay
[Music] um I think the only other thing on the agenda was the minutes next yeah I think the first I think in the minutes 11 19 was listed as a continuous last time I don't think it
was right um I'm pretty sure it wasn't yeah they were continu no we heard them for the first time the last time so it should be the original correct first yes I think that's the only I had
though that's it I think so I'll take it okay like either something St like grammar like I forgot to put someone put someone who voted and yeah oh I guess question for these votes because they have Quorum at four do I
still am I still listed on these votes as an associate member because they need more so you voted at the last one and since it's they did the five out of five okay okay uh motion to approve the
