Dear Mr. Ward,
You will recall our telephone conversation of last week when we
discussed ny building an addition to my house. I had planned to
drop in to talk to you, as you suggested, but have not had the
chance to do so. No doubt you'll get it sooner this way.
You indicated that the only way this would go through, inasmuch
as I am commercially zoned� is by board approval. I have enclosed
a check for $30-00 for this fee.
I gathered from our short conversation that my personal reasons
for building this addition would not be given too much considera-
tion. However) I do feel that the following few facts are pertinent,
and should be considered in order to arrive at an equitable deter-
mination.
(1) The sole purpose for my request is to move my mother, who is
seventy�-seven years old and lives by herself in St. Albans, to her
own place on my land. This way she could maintain the semblance of
independence, and yet have a certain amount of privacy.
(2) For comparison purposes) I would like to add that the owner of
the house directly opposite me on Clinton Street has, during the
past several years, contracted several additions to his house to the
extent that the original building is hardly recognizable. These
additions appear to have been made with no forethought whatsoever,
and obviously with no thought at all as to aesthetics. It is now
a boarding house with inadequate parking facilities) and itinerant
roomers who add nothing to, or could care less about the neighbor-
hood. Also, the decision to make room for more boarders has neces-
sitated the removal of some of their furniture to the outside, where
it apparently is in permanent storage against the side of the house.
I realize that I am poorly informed about this matter, but frankly,
I fail to see the reason behind this whole procedure. In my opinion
the fact that this property is commercially zoned is irrevelant.
My home is already in existence on this land, and no matter what
changes are made to it the fact remains that essentially the building
is still there, and are we any more or less non -conformists to the
law as a result? Of course this would not apply if there is some
other reason, such as a variance., that had to be considered.
Personally I feel that this stress on zoning is way out of proportion.
Realistically this area would be of little value for commercial
development. It is entirely residential, with private homes extending
up to the Williston Road. The only way in which this land would
become attractive to a potential commercial developer would be for
everyone to agree to sell, and there is very little likelihood of
this happening in the forseeable future.
Anyhow, would you please place this before the board dur ' ing the next
session? If my presence is required you can reach me at 864-4338.
Yours truly,
d�rald R. Richard
