Mr. Risigo requested a variance to construct a 10 x 16 deck off the rear of his property. Ms. Dart asked about locating the deck on the other side of the home in which the applicant stated the deck is outside the location of the kitchen door and the other side is the location of the garage.

Mr. Carey received a letter from Mr. Reich, Arch Drive, dated July 2, 2008 stating no concerns, which was read into the record. All certified letters receipts were received and are on file.
Ms. Redfield expressed her concern of not having enough room for a rescue/emergency vehicle to maneuver between the homes with the construction of the deck. Mr. Risigo stated they would need to access from the other side of the home but would not be able to drive around the property completely.
There was discussion on what is currently in place outside the door.

Mr. McNeil is requesting a variance to construct a shed. Mr. McNeil stated his home sits on 3 acres, however the home is near the rear of the lot therefore is requesting a 25’ setback.
