WORK SESSION
Meet with the Building Commissioner to discuss outstanding issues with case 15-18
15-17 Fancy S.Sullivan(represented by Attorney Michael J.Princi),9 Tower Hill Circle,Map 66 Lot 32 (OLD M 26 L 1-
1)in the CH zoning district. The applicant seeks an appeal of the Zoning Agent's decision under MGL Chapter 40A Section S
to allow a lot in two zoning districts that received a special permit(case#99-23)tinder Section 179-SE of the Zoning By-laws
to be used for residential purposes,to also/continue to have a commercial use on the lot.
Mr. Staley stated that after receiving a copy of the Zoning Board's Decision of application 15-17 Sullivan he
needs some clarification.
Mr.Staley gave some background to this issue;
• Corridor Overlay Protection District (COPD) was in place in 1999 when this property was first
purchased
• Previous Building Commission did not suggest/tell the applicant to go through this process
• Review process NOW is Site Plan Review
• Zoning Board was only presented with ZA letter dated April 17, 2015
• Zoning Board did not have building commissioners previous letters from 2000-2014
Board Questions
• Board did NOT say anything to bypass any other review processes
• Other use was there
• One does NOT preclude the other
• if Mr. Staley feels they need Site Plan Review then that is where they must go.

• Mr.Staley noted the Sullivan's have been disingenuous over•the years
• The Board felt, through a consensus, that this decision did NOT relieve the applicant of any
other required review process
• ONLY use was asked for with application 15-17
• Victor Staley will request Staff Review to be sent to Site Plan Review.
• Note was made that it is frustrating to "chase someone", we have faith that they are aware and will
follow through...but sometimes they need an assist through the process
