The Chairman read the hearing notice.  Mr. Richard Graveline presented his plan to construct a garage on the property.  Mr. Graveline expressed the need for a garage to assist with his health issues of climbing the slope of his property to retrieve lawn equipment and snow blower.  If he constructs a garage, he will have space to store the equipment and provide covered vehicle access.  Mr. Stapleton asked where the garage will be located and Mr. Graveline indicated the location on the plan and advised that he has 20 foot arborvitaes along his property line that abuts the neighboring property.  He also stated his garage will be the furthest garage from the road of all the neighboring properties.  Mr. Lis asked if the deed reflects his combined property lots and was advised that it did.  Mr. Stapleton asked the size of the garage and Mr. Graveline indicated that it would be 35 X 40 with a carport.  Mr. Grégoire stated that the garage will be located 45 feet from the street and the law says you can’t go beyond the home therefore, the garage would need to be reduced in size by 5 feet.
