Ms. Borg also stated that the only hardship there would be finances for Mr. Carp. Mr. Lorber asked if the Municipality permitted pervious pavers for a driveway. Mr. Buechler stated that some do not but many people have made pervious driveways to avoid a variance. Chairman Neuer stated that it’s a private road and less traffic travels on it, He continued by saying that if they did change the driveway to a pervious surface then they would not need a variance.
