3. Necessity for Functional Access and Use

Zoning Board · 2026-05-14 · agenda_item

A property owner is seeking a variance to align building setbacks with existing infrastructure, specifically a culvert and driveway approach that are currently within a 25-foot buffer zone. This existing access point is located 7.5 feet from the wetland line and is the only legal access to the lot. The applicant proposes to build in alignment with this non-conforming access to minimize further land disturbance and utilize an already altered portion of the property. This item is currently under review by the Zoning Board. If approved, the project would involve work related to the existing access point and the construction of a building, potentially including site preparation, utility connections, and vertical construction. Local contractors, suppliers, and service providers are encouraged to engage early to understand the project's scope and potential needs as plans develop.
