Swore in the applicant.
I want to construct a detached 24 X 24 feet garage in the front of my
house on the right hand side.
You are located quite a bit back from the road?
That's correct. The house is probably 900 feet from River Road and
the garage would be about 600 feet from the road.

We would like to build a small walk up deck with stairs in order to
get to our dining room.
I'm confused, you say the back and yet the variance is for the front?
It's actually because the house was built sideways and the front door
is on one side and the rear door is on the other side of the house.
When did you purchase this home?
This June 2005.
So the deck will be further back then the front of the house?

My house sits caddy-cornered on the property and in the back right hand
comer there is already a deck of about 9 X 6 feet. That is where the
variance would be because it gets close to the property line and that deck is
basically falling down. So what I want to do is build a deck on the side of
the house which would be 26 X 14 and wrap it around to where this old
deck is.
Did you build the original deck?
No we bought this about 10 years ago and the deck I think was built in
1979. The house was moved back once because of the well and septic.
Can the property behind you see the deck?
No we own 9 acres in the rear and it is wooded.
We will do a site visit on Saturday and set your public hearing for
September 27, 2005.
Thank you.
Trans Star has asked for an adjournment to October 12, 2005. We believe
they should set up an escrow of$1000.00.
