FINDINGS:
In Granting the Special Permit with Site Plan Approval,the Planning Board found:
A.The requested use for additional impervious surface(a porch and paved walkway)in a Water Supply Protection District protects
adjoining premises against seriously detrimental uses because the additions will not create any conceivable adverse impacts to adjacent
properties. Water from the porch's roof will be infiltrated into the ground via gutters and leaders.
B.The requested use will promote the convenience and safety of vehicular and pedestrian movement within the site and minimize traffic
impacts on the streets and roads in the area. The porch and walkway will have no impact on vehicular traffic and will only enhance
pedestrian movement on the subject property.
C.The requested use promotes a harmonious relationship of structures and open spaces to the natural landscape,existing buildings and
other community assets in the area because the porch will be extended to be even with the front of the house.
D.The requested use will have no adverse impact on the City's resources,including the City's water supply and distribution system,
sanitary and storm sewage collection and treatment systems,fire protection,streets and schools.
E.The requested use meets all special regulations set forth in the Zoning Ordinance under Section 16.0.
F.The requested use bears a positive relationship to the public convenience or welfare by providing a walkway and enlarged porch to an
existing residence.
The use will not unduly impair the integrity of character of the district or adjoining zones,nor be detrimental to the health,morals,or
general welfare. The use is in harmony with the general purpose and intent of the Ordinance.
G.The requested use will promote City planning objectives to the extent possible and will not adversely affect those objectives,as
defined in City master or study plans adopted under M.G.L.Chapter 41,Section 81-C and D.
In addition,in reviewing the Site Plan,the Planning Board found the requested use complies with the following technical performance
