Case
#2209 – ML – 3-137 – RAYTHEON COMPANY – 50 Bush Hill Road – Seeking a Variance
to Article III, Section 307-8 to permit a 900 sq. ft. addition to an existing
building. Existing non-conforming use –
Original variance granted December 9, 1968.
Mr. LaBonte real aloud the list of abutters. There were no persons present whom did not
have their name read.
Mr. Steven Black, a Representative for Raytheon Company,
stated the addition will be used as a storage area. There will be no additional noise generated.
Mr. Black read the following criteria aloud:
Item # 1. There will be no decrease in the value of the
surrounding properties: addition will
be of the same architecture as the existing building.
Item #2. It is in
the public interest: the proposed
addition will generate more tax revenue and allow Raytheon to continue its
business servicing the Federal Government.
Item #3. There is
significant hardship to the land:
Raytheon will not be able to use the property to its fullest potential
if the variance is denied. Raytheon has
been at that location since the late 1960’s and to have to relocated the
facility would be a significant hardship.
Item # 4. There is
substantial justice to be done: it has
been recognized that while there is non-conforming uses there, from time to
time Raytheon would have to come before the Board with additions to allow them
to operate effectively.
Item #5. This
request is within the spirit of the zoning ordinance: Raytheon will meet all the requirements if the variance is
granted.
Mr. William Coleman, 233 Mammoth Road, said he expressed
concern regarding noise at the previous meeting. He said he has since met with Dave Theroux of Raytheon and is
pleased with the plan and appreciates the way they have addressed the
concerns. He said he is in favor of the
plan.
Mr. McNamara asked what the building they are adding on to
is used for. Mr. Theroux said it is
open office space. They will be storing
only office equipment in the addition.

Mr. Kosik announced that since the Eannarino’s were out of
town, the meeting will be postponed until next month.
