Zoning Board of Appeals March 15, 2018 Chair Larry Fishman call meeting to order at 7:01PM Motion: John Kamp Second: Chris Dampman Pledge to the Flag Chair states the meeting is being recorded. Attendance: Larry Fishman Chairman – Chris Dampman John Kamp Code Enforcement Officer Dave Preston Board Secretary Monica McGill Absent: John Marciano Jim Donnelly Town Attorney Michael Davidoff Application 1-2018 Zachary Klein Hello, my name is Will Frank and this is my associate Stephanie, of Blusten, Shapiro, Rich, & Barone LLP, and we are the attorneys representing Mr. Zachary Klein. Larry Fishman: Why don’t you very briefly go over the application and summarize what you going to do. Mr. Frank: The situation is that Mr. Klein’s predecessor had built a treehouse on the property without a permit. And then there is the issue of a covered deck. So, we went to court. Larry Fishman: Are they both located on the same property. Mr. Frank: No, the treehouse is located on a separate property. So, Mr. Davidoff, the Building Inspector, and myself went to court to try and enter into a settlement. The agreement stated that my client would remove the treehouse within a certain period of time once the weather warmed up. After speaking with my client, he stated that a crew is scheduled to take the treehouse down on April 6, 2018. Larry Fishman: The treehouse is the one located on 55 Woods Road, correct? Mr. Frank: Yes. And the building inspector and I are still going back and forth on what to do with the covered deck. Being the covered deck is more important to our client, Mr. Davidoff suggested that we apply for a use variance, and that has brought us to this point.
