What: a Development Review Board request for a front setback waiver for a barn on Loomis Hill Rd (Case 035-26, amended as Case 064-26).
Where it stands: on 2026-10-07 the request was a 22 ft setback for a 1,080 square foot barn (earlier 29 ft; height up from 19 to 25 ft) and was continued pending a survey-based site plan. On 2026-10-21 the amended request (Case 064-26) was approved with the earlier conditions kept.
Next: the written decision (watch for the 25 ft height).
Case 064-26 amendment approved on a voice vote with no opposition heard; conditions of the earlier approval remain, a 5 ft side-yard waiver was noted, and the decision is to state a 25 ft height.
Continued to 2026-10-21 pending a survey-based site plan. Members were uneasy about a larger front-yard encroachment and suggested keeping the earlier front setback and seeking a side-yard waiver instead; a new survey had shown the earlier plan did not fit.
Staff reported that a contractor change meant an approved barn needed its height raised from 19 to 29 feet; as a change to an approved plan with a setback waiver, a new application was required.
