Notice is hereby given ZBA hearing will be held Wednesday November 7, 2018 at 6:00 PM in the Conference Room of Town Hall, 148 Main Street, Lincoln, NH, concerning a request by Appellant Michael and Sonja Hamori , 304 Salem Street, Andover, MA 01810, for a variance concerning Article VI (District and District Regulations), Section B (District Regulations), Paragraph 2 (Land Use Schedule), Paragraph 4 (Dimensional Chart) of the Land Use Plan Ordinance (LUPO).  The home and original driveway were built in 1978.  The lot is steep and narrow.  Hamori’s driveway runs along the northern boundary of the lot within the 25’ side setback area.  Appellant proposes to substantially expand and extend a retaining wall substantially greater than four feet (4’) in height that will extend almost all of the way to the back of his lot.  The purpose of the extended retaining wall is to support the driveway and the house and to mitigate run off from the Hamori lot.  Hamoris already built most of the proposed retaining wall without a Land Use Authorization Permit.  The home is located in the “Beechnut I” development, however the Beechnut I Homeowners Association is not active.  The home is located at 11 Beechnut Drive (Map 130, Lot 120) in the Mountain Residential (MR) District where the front, side and rear minimum setbacks are 25 feet.  Almost the entire retaining wall as proposed will be located within the 25-foot front setback area.
