Wells ZBA Grants Mislocated Building Appeal for Majestic Regency Resort
The Wells Zoning Board of Appeals re-elected Mr. Gosby as chair and Mr. Ardini as vice chair, then granted a mislocated building appeal for an eight-unit motel structure at 102 Post Road owned by Sam Patel. The board found no willful or premeditated action or gross negligence in the 1999 addition that encroached about 3.6 feet into the 15-foot side setback.
Key points
- Mr. Gosby was re-elected chair and Mr. Ardini vice chair; Gosby said his term ends in November and he does not plan to return.
- Sam Patel, owner of Majestic Regency Resort at 102 Post Road, sought a mislocated building appeal for a 12-by-21-foot addition built in 1999 within the side setback.
- The board amended the draft findings of fact to add a reference to Section 145.35.0, which allows the Old County Road setback to be reduced from 25 feet to 15 feet.
- The board concluded no willful or premeditated action or gross negligence occurred and voted to grant the appeal; no abutters spoke in opposition.
- The board approved minutes from December 8, 2025, and discussed past difficulty gathering a quorum to approve minutes.
Next steps
- The decision will be typed up and signed for the appellant.
- The board adjourned the meeting.
