Zoning Board of Appeals Meeting Minutes - 3/15/95 Vice Chair Weil opened the Continuation of a Public Hearing on the request of Anneke Corbett for a Special Permit under §11. 11 of the Zoning Ordinance for a Home Occupation at 78 Chestnut Street, Florence. Present and sitting on the case were: Vice Chairman M. Sanford Weil, Jr. and Member Alex Ghiselin and Associate Member Elaine M. Reall. A Legal Notice of this public hearing was published in the Daily Hamushire Gazette on February 15, 1995 and February 22, 1995. Vice Chair Weil announced that, since the applicant was unable to attend the hearing on March 1, 1995, a continuation had been also granted and the public hearing is being heard tonight. Weil also reviewed procedures for conducting public hearings. Anneke Corbett was present to discuss the application. She said she is a certified and licensed massage therapist who performs shiatsu massage. She said she would like to have a home occupation which would allow her to see up to six clients per day in her home. She is a part-time nurse at the Cooley Dickenson Hospital and, since she works every other weekend at the hospital, would probably not want to see any clients at home on the weekend. She plans to see clients by appointment at her home, Monday through Friday during the day, with only an occasional client at night or on a weekend.. She said there is room in her driveway for clients to park. Alex Ghiselin said his main concern about the proposal was the potential traffic hazard from clients backing out of the driveway. The applicant said there is an unobstructed view when exiting the driveway. Elaine Reall asked about hours of operation. Ms. Corbett said she would like to see clients on Monday through Friday from 9: 00 A.M. - 5: 00 P.M. with an occasional evening visit. She does not plan to see clients on the weekend. Sanford Weil asked if the applicant planned to put up a sign. Corbett said she did not plan to have any sign for her home occupation. No one spoke in favor or in opposition to the proposal. Elaine Reall moved to close the Public Hearing. Alex Ghiselin seconded the motion which passed unanimously 3:0. M. Sanford Weil reviewed §11. 11 of the Zoning Ordinance and found: 1. The home occupation will be clearly incidental and secondary to the use of the building or property for residential purposes. _ti_ Pursuant to Massachusetts General Laws (MGL) , Chapter 40A, Section 11, no Special Permit, or any extension, modification or renewal thereof, shall take effect until a copy of the decision bearing the certification of the City Clerk that twenty days have elapsed after the decision has been filed, or if such an appeal has been filed that it has been dismissed or denied, is recorded in the Hampshire County registry of Deeds or Land Court, as applicable and indexed under the name of the owner of record or is recorded and noted on the owner's certificate of title. The fee for such recording or registering shall be paid by the owner or applicant.
