Members present: R. Maloney, N. Wilson, J. Prusak, A. Poole, M. Masinda seated for P. Wright,. Also present: John Patton.
R. Maloney asked Mr. Patton to explain to the Commission what the hardship involved in constructing the dormers was and what type of variance he was asking for.
Mr. Patton explained that the hardship was the non-conformity of the existing house. The roof needed replacement and at the same time he was going to add the two dormers in front and a shed dormer in the rear so that two bedrooms and a bath could be added to the upstairs. He had made arrangements with the health district to have soil testing done and a memo from Jeff Polhemus of the EHHD was in the file.
R. Maloney read memo from the sanitarian.
Glenn & Joan Johnson of 23 Cowles Rd. were present as abutters, their concern was what exactly Mr. Patton was going to do with the property, expressly whether Mr. Patton was going to subdivide the property. Mr. Patton assured them that was not the plan at this time.
