  1.  Charles F. Thomae, 40 Crowell Road, Map 28, Parcel 147:  Application for a Special Permit under WZB 6.1.5.1(b) for a 376 square foot expansion (volumetric) to pre-existing, non-conforming single-family structure.  The Board consisted of Roger Putnam, Mick Lynch, Trevor Pontbriand, Vern Jacob and Don Palladino.  Jay Horowitz represented the applicant and gave an overview of the project, identifying the non-conformities of the property.  The footprint of the dwelling will not change.  There will be a 35% gross increase in living space of the dwelling. In 1999 a new septic system was installed to increase the bedroom count from 2 to 3.  One bedroom and bath will be eliminated on the first floor and two bedrooms and a bath will be placed on the 2nd floor.  Antero Mauricio, abutter, stated he had no objection.  Sandy Wonders, a neighbor, stated the proposed changes will be an enhancement to the neighborhood.  The house was built in 1955.  Mick Lynch moved for Findings of Fact; seconded by Don Palladino; passed 5-0.
