Re: ZBA Determination
Request for Interpretation Of Granby Zoning Ordinance
Section V. A(1) Customary Home Occupations
Dear Mr. And Mrs. Royce,
At the June 22, 2010 meeting of the Town of Granby Zoning Board of Appeals the Board discussed your request for an Interpretation of the Zoning Ordinance for Home Occupations in relation to a violation received from the Granby Codes Department for operating a business without an approved site plan. The Board Members agreed that the redemption center does not qualify as a customary home occupation by definition because
•1. The garage is not living space.
•2. The square footage in use exceeds the 20% that is allowed.
A motion to uphold the ZEO ruling that approval of a Site Plan Application from the Planning Board is required to operate a can redemption business at 64 Junior Avenue in the Town of Granby, was moved by Chairman Peter Holmes and seconded by Board member Peter LeoGrande, all were in favor with no further discussion, motion carried.
Vote:
Peter Holmes, Chairman Aye
Linda fadden, Member Aye
Paul Hartle, Member Aye
Peter LeoGrande, Member Aye
4 Ayes and 0 Nays - MOTION APPROVED.
Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions or are in need of any further assistance.
Sincerely,
Lisa Somers
ZBA secretary
