CONDITION OF APPROVAL:
FINDINGS:
The Zoning Board of Appeals granted the request for a Finding to change one non-conforming use to another non-conforming use along
with partial conforming uses based on the following information and plans submitted with the application:
1. Stormwater Drainage Report 55 Damon Rd, By R Levesque Associates, Inc. Dated August 10, 2017.
2. Trip Generation Analysis Memo by JSP Land Development Service, Inc. Date august 11, 2017.
3. Site Plans Proposed Commercial Development, 55 Damon Rd, By R Levesque Associates, Inc. Dated August 10, Revised September 7,
2017.
4. Dunkin Donuts Architectural Elevations Dated Aug 7, 2017.
The Board granted the application as presented in the materials after determining that the changes proposed would meet the criteria in
350 9.3 and would not be substantially more detrimental to the neighborhood than the existing non-conforming auto sales use.
