December 16, 2021 Regular Meeting

2021 meeting. Chairman Neuer assured Mr. Alleyne that this information will not work against him. Board Questions © Chairman Neuer asked Mr. Alleyne why the Board should approve a deviation from an Ordinance that is town wide. Mr. Alleyne responded that this is more about the parking spaces. Referenced his plans and the driveway would allow the four (4) spaces as it exists. If extended to the left or right of the property, this application can meet the four (4) car parking space requirement, © Chairman Neuer asked Mr. Alleyne how to justify this address as being the only address in the town without a garage as required. Mr. Alleyne said that it would not be the only one in town or neighborhood. © 1 Schwarzbaum asked if there were any other alternatives given to add space to this property. Mr. Alleyne said that they could potentially build into the backyard. But that is an expensive and extensive project not in a position financially to go this route. This option proposed tonight is less expensive. © L Schwarzbaum asked if Mr. Alleyne thought about going up and adding a level to the property. Mr. Alleyne said that this is another possibility but not explored as that would be “pricey as well”. Would create more of a hardship financially and in the regards to the timeline of the project. e {. Schwarzbaum asked if Mr. Alleyne understands the Town Ordinance regarding garages for homes. Mr. Alleyne answered in the affirmative. ¢ P. Ricci said that the Ordinance is an issue. Based on his knowledge if the house has no existing garage, that is not the same as having one and wanting to remove one. If those properties grandfathered in (originally built without garages) came to this Board asking for revisions to their property, it could be common that they ask for a garage of some kind to be built to conform to the Ordinance. In his opinion, Mr. Alleyne does not need a contractor to present to this Board, Mr. Ricci opined further saying that the architect should be presenting his case. The Architect that Mr. Alleyne is utilizing doesn’t address issue at all. Only item addressed is how the construction would work for renovating garage to a living space. That architect should be addressing the situation of possible converting. ° A. Weiss gave the option that if a wall were to be opened and became a three (3) bedroom house would parking change. P. Ricci said that

Ricci said that this application is to create space, not take it away. Mr. Alleyne asked if it is possible to carry this application.
