David Held with Provost & Rovero and Attorney Joanne Paul were present to speak about the application.
T he Board Members had requested a map showing the different buildable areas on the property.
D. Held presented a buildable area map to the Board Members.

D. Held stated that the box on the map is showing what relief they are asking for.
Minimum width of 100 ft., with a maximum slope of 40% the shape would be what is shown in blue on the map.
Ralph Tulis said he has seen the map and it was good representation of the property and that it narrowed the variances that are needed.
Rick Maloney asked Attorney Paul how she would amend the recorded variance.
She said; delete the condition that ties the variance to the conceptual plan. Delete the reference to buildable area. Revise the variance to provide relief from the frontage, slope and the shape requirement.
R. Maloney asked what map the variance would be using as reference. D. Held said the one dated 3/5/2013. He also stated that EHHD had given its approval.
R. Maloney asked if they wanted to keep the 150’ setback requirement on the location of the septic system to wetlands or water course when in sand and gravel soil. They said yes.
R. Maloney said that they had asked questions of Attorney Branse as to how they could modify the variance.
R. Maloney asked what regulations they are looking for relief from.
Attorney Paul stated 4.04.02 and 4.04.02.01 relief from the slope and the shape and the width of the land.
D. Held said they would like to vary the slope requirement from 15% to 40%. Also reduce the 150’ to 100’ for the width. That is 50’ of relief.
The Board Members discussed the best use of the land.
M. Masinda asked if anyone wanted to speak either for or against the application.
