request of William W. Gibbs, Jr. and Carolyn Gibbs for a SPECIAL
PERMIT and SITE PLAN APPROVAL under the provisions of Section

16' X 24' attached garage at 39 O'Donnell Drive, Florence.
Zoning Board Members present and voting were: Chairman Dr. Peter
Laband, M. Sanford Weil, Jr. and Alex Ghiselin.

found:
1. The requested use for an attached accessory structure is so
designated in Section 6.7, page 6-10 of this ordinance.
2 . The requested use bears a positive relationship to public
convenience or welfare by providing a garage and storage
space for the homeowner.
3 . A garage will not add to or create undue traffic congestion
or unduly impair pedestrian safety.
4 . The requested use will not overload any public water,
drainage or sewer system, or any other municipal system to
such an extent that the requested use or any developed use
in the immediate area or in any other area of the City will
be unduly subjected to hazards affecting health safety or
the general welfare, because a garage will not overload any
public systems.
