CONDITION OF APPROVAL:
FINDINGS:
In denying the permit, the board found that the applicant failed to sufficiently address and meet several of the required Special Permit and
the required Site Plan approval criteria.
This failure includes,but is not limited to not being in conformance with the master plans goal of creating conservation development in
this area,specifically development that is sensitive to the environment. The board found that the project would have adverse impacts on
sensitive wetlands and wildlife corridors.
There appear to be other projects that could have a smaller environmental footprint(specifically with the home moved further north)that
potentially could receive a permit but although the applicant moved a portion of the project to reduce environmental footprint,the board
found that this option was not sufficiently explored by the applicant.
The project would have other adverse impacts on city resources,as a result of its insensitivity to the environment,inconsistent with the
Site Plan and Special Permit requirements.
COULD NOT DEROGATE BECAUSE:
