Gogan replied yes. Chairman Neuer asked to have Mr. Gogan’s report, with a revision date of 10/19/12, marked as Exhibit A-2 and to have Exhibit A-1 and Exhibit A-2 entered into evidence. Mr. Gogan stated that water flows from all of the properties on West View Road into the applicant’s rear property line and causes a problem for Mr. McCann. He said that they are proposing to redirect the water to West View Road by installing new gutters and a new drain. Chairman Neuer asked Mr, Gogan if they will be complying with Mr. Lepore’s letter; Mr. Gogan replied yes. Mr. Gogan stated that the width of the rear yard is compliant but the shortage is in the depth of the yard which requires a rear yard variance. He said that it would be a hardship for that reason. Mr. Quentzel referred to drawing C-1 of the plans and asked Mr. Gogan if the front stoop is being reduced; Mr. Gogan said that they are planning on rebuilding the front stoop. Mr. Quentzel asked if they are reducing it in size. Mr. Gogan said it will be slightly increased in size but not subject to a variance. Mr. Quentzel stated that if they are expanding the stoop then it will need a variance because the stoop will be extended closer to the curb. Mr. Grygiel asked Mr. Gogan if the roof tine will be closer to the lot line; Mr. Gogan replied no. Mr. Grygiel said that no variance will be needed then. Mr. Gogan stated that they will be using modular pavers. Chairman Neuer asked if the pavers were pervious; Mr. Gogan replied yes. Chairman Neuer asked if any members of the public had any comments. John McCann, 46 Edgewood Avenue, approached the podium and was sworn under oath. Mr. McCann stated that he bought his house in 1977 and at that time there were only five houses on the street. He said that he raised his house up to let the drainage run off and eventually he put a pipe into the storm sewer to let the water run down to the storm sewer. Mr. McCann stated that it appears there is a depression there, not a ditch, and it helps to control the storm water run-off. Mr. McCann stated that he is not opposed to this application and that the applicant is very cooperative. Ms. Weiss stated that she thinks it is an improvement and that if Mr. McCann is pleased then she approves. Chairman Neuer asked for a motion. Mr. Buechler made a motion to approve with the following conditions: the roof may be raised in
