Bill > S1106

This bill authorizes the town of Newbury to relocate, replace, reconstruct, and maintain a specific building located at 41 Plum Island Turnpike, overriding any conflicting laws or regulations. The building is described as a "piling supported building," meaning it is built on posts or pilings to elevate it above the ground, which is common in coastal or flood-prone areas. The bill permits this building to have an interior first floor area of 880 square feet and a total interior living area of no more than 1800 square feet, with a piling-supported walkway for access. This allows the building to be used as a residence and to be repositioned to resolve an existing encroachment on the Plum Island Turnpike right-of-way, thereby improving compliance with local zoning setbacks and the state building code, generally following a specific plan dated April 13, 2012. The act takes effect immediately upon its passage.
