Ms. Brown indicated that the Commission will have to make a decision at the December Meeting. She noted that the application has changed, there is a new septic system design, and because the house does not meet the Zoning Regulations she believes they will be reducing the size of the house. Ms. Cable stated that it sounds like a new application.

He explained that the current master bedroom will remain as it is and the two smaller bedrooms, along with an addition to the house, will comprise of the new master bedroom, bath and a third bedroom.
