Re: Top Dog Enterprise Subdivision — 46-46A Seward Street #20200022
Dear Ms. Jennifer Merriman,
Jennifer, I believe the ZBA should be aware of this information & its impllications at
tonight's meeting. Would you please attend to this being posted and brought to their
attention? Thank you.
I am the former owner and have been for decades and have thorough knowledge of all the
properties including the uses and would like to provide some information pertaining to the
variances for the 4 lot subdivision variances regarding 46 & 46 A Seward St including Van
Dorn. I would like to make the Board aware of a few concerns and become apart of the
record during the meeting regarding this proposal. They are as follows:
1) I currently have a 5 year lease to use the existing garage (only) which has the
apartment above directly behind the main house at 46 Seward St. It appears by the
proposal that the owner is planning on retaining this building so my lease will still be
useable. If the Board chooses to have this building removed as part of their approval
then the owner will need to postpone this part until my lease if fulfilled. (see
attachment)
2) I would like to bring attention to the Board that the vacant lot just south of the
yellow nursery school has a sewer lateral running through this vacant lot. The sewer
lateral is a private service which comes from the neighboring property which faces
Seward St. There are also easements for this purpose and others within the deed.
Therefore, development of this lot will be difficult to approve. (see attachment)
3) The information provided within the appeal appears to be a little contradictory
because, it mentions converting the yellow nursery school into a single family home.

However, this building will straddle the property line at the rear of the building as it is
shown. Then in other documents it shows the nursery school lot becoming a new lot for
the construction of a new home. This should be addressed and corrected appropriately.
4) I would like to bring to the Board's attention, that I haven't read through the
documents, because the ZBA website is still difficult to use. Documents still won't print.
I appreciate you taking my comments into consideration throughout this subdivision variance
process.
Sincerely,
Rose Tait
