4:00 PM Work Session & Continued Hearings
that the gift of land from the Loyola family was crucial to establishing public
access to Sylvan Gardens.
From the audience, Gloria Freeman urged the Commission to proceed on the creation
of public access. She felt that the Commission could apply to the Zoning Board of
Appeals for a Special Permit under the current bylaw and fulfill the requirement of
having a public hearing on the application. The Commission believed that under the
current zoning, an application for parking within a setback would require a variance from
the ZBA, not a Special Permit.
From the audience, Norman Pacun supported the Commission’s oversight of the
aforementioned parcels and urged the Commission to table the issue for a few months
and then review the idea of spot zoning. It may be beneficial to narrow the scope of the
proposed bylaw amendment. Additionally, he felt that a Variance may be granted by the
ZBA, although Ms Andres noted variances are granted in rare cases when hardship is
demonstrated and that it would seem impossible to do so in this case. .
Commissioner Geiger motioned to form a subcommittee that would spend time refining
the amendment proposal. Carol Scott seconded. The vote was unanimous in favor of
the proposal. It was agreed that Commissioners Geiger and Holt would comprise the
subcommittee.
