LACONIA — A decision on whether Scott Everett’s commercial-residential development on Elm Street can proceed as planned has been put off until next week.
The Zoning Board of Adjustment has been scheduled to take up an appeal filed by project abutter Peter Brunette Wednesday afternoon. But the meeting was postponed earlier in the day because Brunette was unable to attend the meeting.
Brunette said Wednesday he is recovering from surgery.
City Planning and Code Director Dean Trefethen said arrangements were being made to reschedule the meeting for sometime next week.
Brunette is appealing Trefethen’s administrative approval allowing the installation of a metal retaining wall 2 feet from Brunette’s property on Park Street. Brunette maintains that the wall is a structure and so needs to be at least 5 feet from his property line.
Trefethen has ruled that the wall is a “construction technique,” so it is exempt from the setback requirement in the city’s Zoning Ordinance.
