Mr. Battaglia explained to the Board about the two car garage with a 12 pitch
roof that will match the existing house with the door facing the street. There will be door leading into the basement from the garage.
Co-Chair Haggett asked Mr. Battaglia if he was intending to use the driveway
and curb cut that already existed for the garage. He also asked about how close he would be coming to the side set back.

picture of the driveway. Mr. Battaglia asked Ms. Nelkens if he could use her
