Lot #13-A-33, Case #7-2002
Cyr Lumber
39 Rockingham Road
A variance is requested from Section 702 of the Zoning Ordinance to permit one corner of the building to be 73.75 feet from the property line where 75 feet is required.

Mr. Doyle read the case into the record. Mr. Peter Zohdi of Herbert Associates presented the case. The building as constructed meets all other setback requirements of the Windham Zoning Ordinance except one corner of the building that is 1.25 feet beyond the front setback requirement. Mr. Zohdi explained that this front setback error was an honest mistake. The building did not need to be 1.25 feet closer to the road. Mr. Gustafson asked what the front setbacks are on surrounding properties. Mr. Zohdi did not know the front setbacks of the surrounding properties, but did know that the Cyr Lumber building is the farthest setback from the road. The five supporting facts were read into the record. The Chairman closed the public portion of this case.
