� It appearing that notice. of said hearing has beEn given by sending notice thereof to the petitioner
p and all those owners of property deemed bpthe.Board to be -affected thereby, and to the public
by posting notice of the hearing and published in The Register, the hearing was opened and held
on the date stated above.
� The petitioner requests, in the alternative, several Speciai Permits andlor Variances, in order to
be permitted to convert an existing.non-conforming _mixed use cottage colony to a residentia!
condominigm complex. 'The property is within the RZS zone. The site contains approximately
O 2.2 acres of land. It is presently improved with l 1 buildings, housing 13 residential `units".
J
The petitioner provided the board with extensive historical information about the site. It began
as a private family compound with several residential buildings and accessory structures.. Over
the years, several additional cottages have been added, as its use evolved into a predominately
�p seasonal cottage colony. Several of the originai structures .are substantial dwellings with
(X} significant architectural features worthy of preservation (and during the course of the. hearing -the
�9 historical Commission requested that any alterations of the historically significant structures be
reviewed with them The pefitioner's agreed to do so.)
J The petitioner represents that, while the use of the site has predantinately been seasonal ianta]s;
up to 7 (seven) of the units had been used though out the year, Water Department records
suggest that, in recent years, the use has been principally between April and November.
The petitioner's proposal is #o renovate the more significam residential buildings, and
rehabilitate or completely rebuild the rest. The net result is proposed to be 11 (eleven)
residential units; in. 9 (nine), buildings (2 (two) buildings containing 2 (two) units}. The units
closest to the road would by moved inward, to maxim;�e available setbacks, white preserving the
interior space needed for the proposed enhanced septic system.

Over the course of several meetings, the site plans and building design plans were modified to
respond to questions, suggestions and concerns of the Board members and neighbors.
The final site plan, received November.13, 2003, is the `proposed_ site plan, Sheet C2, dated June
15, 2003 with revisions through November 13, 2003". 'Unless otherwise indicated, all references
hereaf er are to this final plan_ Various architectural plans were also filed, but the final plans, as
referred to herein, are as follows;
Building 1-Dated November 47 2003, received 1117/03.
Building 2-Dated November 4, 2003, received by the Board 11(7l03
Building 3 Is being modified only internally and by non-structural exterior rehabilitation
no new architectural plans have -been filed or approved).
$gilding 4 (Reilly Residence) -dated November 7, 2003, received l l/7(03.
Building 5-Dated November 4, 2003, received 11/7/03.
Building 6-Dated July 28, 2003, received 1ll7/03.
Building 7-Dated November 10, 2003, received 11113103,
Building 9-Dated November 4, 2003, received 11/7/03.
Building 10- Will be modified per the final site plan, reducing its footprint by 350 square
feet (no new bedrooms to be added or interior spaced added).
Buildings 3, 5, 6, 7, 10, will be substantially renovated and repaired; exgept that buildings 3 & 10
will have no structural expansions or alterations. Buildings 3 & 10 will be repaired and
renovated externally and will have interior modifications only. Buildings 1, 2, 9 and 4 will be
entirely new structures, replacing the former structures which are to be demolished.
A new shared septic system, offering enhanced treatment, will be installed, as will additional on
site drainage and parking_ The historical integrity of the main buildings will be preserved, and
the over all site upgraded
Several abutters and neighbors spoke in flavor of the proposal. The petitioner made several
concessions and modifications to preserve views across the property for the neighborhood,
including limiting the height of the northerly structures.
The Board reviewed the petitioner's draft condominium documents. The site, presently two lots,
would be formally merged as one lot. The units would be sold in condominium form of
ownership. The prior commercial use of the properly as short-term seasonal rentals will be
abolished and the future use will be limited to single mily residences. The condomini faum
documents appear to make adequate provisions for the defining and controlling of its uses, and
for the construction and maintenance of all necessary systems and facilities. Except for the
modification to be made to conform the document to this decision, they satisfy the requirements
of the bylaw.
Because of overall density concerns, the petitioner agreed that units 1, 2, 5 and 9 would be
limited to seasonal uses, while units 3, 4, 6, 7, and 10 would be available for year round
residential use. Concessions were also made as to the rental of units, and the control and
enforcement of the compound.
With the incorporation and clarifications of several conditions and limitations, the Board finds
that the requirements ofthe bylaw have been met for the following relief
L change or extension of the use of the buildings for those which were seasonal cottage
colony units to residential units,
2. remodeling and extension of those buildings to be preserved but altered,
3. replacement of those buildings to.be razed and replaced,
4, conversion of all units to condominium ownership

Permits, on the following additional conditions;

Z. Units 3, 4, 6, 7, & 10 may be used for year round residential use,
