The petitioner, Marc Vaughn, was also present. Mr. Teder stated that the petitioner is in the process of converting this site into a self-storage business. The property in question was the site of the o!d Club Newtone. Mr. Teder and the petitioner were before the board in September of 2020 and bufferyard reductions were granted for this site. They had originally requested a 23' setback from the Union St. frontage but the original proposal would not work because of Fire Department standards so it was withdrawn from the September 2020 petition. Since starting the building permit process for the new self-storage business, they came up with a way to meet the Fire Department standards which is why they are requesting the 23' setback again. The Board voted by ballot: 1) 4 yes 0 no. Petition GRANTED. The next meeting of the Lafayette Board of Zoning Appeals wili be on Monday, May 17. 2021 at 4:00 PM.
