Planning & Zoning
Blanchard Street
Variances
2/23/2005

(As submitted by Mr. Skipper Grady).

Building and Access Goals: To acquire through variances, the right to obtain a building permit for and proper road & utility accesses to my lot 6-A on Blanchard Street. My driveway will start at the end of the paved street and go directly on to my lot to the parking area.

Issues & Variances

1. Is the unpaved portion of Blanchard Street, fronting lot 6-A, town property or private property? There does not exist (as of 2/22/2005) a record of a dedication to the town per the Town Ordinance. In case this or any other legal form that may create a dedication to the Town, I request a variance to allow my building and access goals. If there is no dedication to the Town, the owner of lot 6-A has a servitude of “favor” that goes back to 1904 and I ask that a variance be granted to allow my building and access goals.

2. I want to build my driveway of concrete as wide as the existing road, no longer than 20’ in the right of way and will taper & curve immediately on to my lot at a safe contour for turning. Should the unpaved right of way be determined to be Town Property, I will build the driveway as stated but to a depth of 6 inches. I request this variance.

3. I request a variance so that I do not have to pave the Blanchard Street right of way beyond what is needed to turn my driveway onto my property.

4. The current street has no turn-around and I request a variance so that I do not have to create a turn-around.

5. Lot 6-A is zoned R-1, substandard in size and needs special set backs of 15’ from the right of way, 30’ front the east property line and 10’ from the west and north property lines. I request a variance for these items.

6. I request a variance to allow all utilities be allowed in the right of way. If the servitude is Town Property, the Town can give this variance and if it is private property, I have it in my servitude.

7. I request information concerning any other issues that would require a variance or Planning & Zoning approval to reach my Building & Access Goals.
