Second the motion.
All present voted aye.
For the record Mr. Chugerman can you state what you are here for
and also it seems that you have taken our recommendation to shorten
your deck from our site inspection.
I would like to add 10 feet to the existing house and then replace the
deck that's there with a smaller deck which would be a 10 foot wide
deck.
So the new variance will be 20.8 feet rather than 25.8 feet.
What's on the other side of the property line?
We abut neighbors on all three sides, which are semi-wooded.
Let the records show that there is no one here to speak for or against.
Motion to grant a Neg. Dec.
Second the motion.
All present voted aye.

This is a workshop tonight where we try to get some information
from you.
I purchased this pool from Sam's Club and was able to set it up on a
Sunday. I didn't know I needed a building permit or I would have
gotten one. In front of the pool closer to the house is where my
septic tank is. The rest of the yard in the back is my leech field, so
this is the only place we could think of putting the pool. I put this in
last summer and none of the electrical has been done yet either.
What brought this about and what company put in the pool?
I'm refinancing and I installed it myself.
How long are you at this address?
Four years.

So your leech fields run to the right of the fields?
They run across the yard. I have a copy of the survey and I think
you might have them.
Yes we do. We will set a site inspection for this Saturday at 9:00
am. Also we will set your Public Hearing for February 25,2003.
How big is the pool?
18 foot round.
Motion to declare us Lead Agency.

Kyle Pottenburgh - Fire Prevention Bureau
The roadbed looks like it is already in tact for the extension off of
Forest View. If they want to maintain their driveways off of the
bedded surface we would just recommend that they maintain it to
the Town's spec for the driveway standards that we already have in
place. The addresses would then come off of Forest View.
Al Lehigh talked of a turn around at the site visit. How far is that
road from Thomkins Terrace?
There are three roads I believe there. I took another road and
ended up in someone's driveway.
At this point Kyle, Tania and the board looked over the maps at the
dais and discussed the roads.
So part of this deal is that it will be a common driveway but it will
need a maintenance agreement with both lots.

If this other lot is sold, they will also have to enter into this
maintenance agreement.
They will have to put a turn around somewhere over here or a cuI
de sac.
There's a turn around already here and its black topped. The Town
made them put it in.
Its right here on the map.
It must be 12 feet wide and 15 feet clearence. Hopefully Mark will
get something to you in writing.
I still want a turn around.
I'll talk to Mark and see what he thinks.
So we need a legal agreement filed before they can come back onto
the agenda.
Motion to adjourn.
So moved.
Second the motion.

Mr. Prager: Motion to adjourn.
