windows, porch, and fireplace placement with no increase in
square footage to the plans. It was noted that they have
come before the Board of Health and the Conservation Commission. John Markis and Emanuel Markis, abutters, came to the table to look at the site plans. Peter Watts expressed concern about lot coverage and requested a survey be done of buildable lot area and coverage of lot. The concern is in regards to the 12 foot floodplain area.
