front porch and any other relief deemed necessary. This property is located in the residential RB district. >> Is there someone here tonight to speak? I get your name and address for the
record. That would be great. >> Wesley Krasco, 9 Prancing Road. Um, so essentially I want to make our garage into a double car garage. It's a single at the moment. And the front porch I
want to extend because we can't really use it. It's two feet wide. Um, yeah, it's pretty much right up to the setback. Yep. And then I want to come a couple
feet over on the front past the setback >> with with the porch. >> The porch is coming past 7 foot three and then on the side I'm going past I believe it's 7 feet to the setback. So, I'm going 3 ft past the setback on the
side for the garage 20%. Where? Oh, so you're at 31 right now. 31.6 >> to the front corner >> to the side. >> Yeah. >> To the to the front corner. He's 316

>> And then in the front, the 20% would be 32 feet. >> It's right there. >> Um the only question I have, are you going to make your garage with that angle in it? Y >> rather than a 90. >> Yes, because I believe if I go
over in the front, I'm going to have to get a variance for that. >> Yeah, that that is correct. I was just wondering if I I just don't like >> it's going to be tricky, but >> get it done. >> You'll have some nice storage towards the back of your garage.

incorporated into the approval process. Sincerely, Josh Abbott. I have a letter from Sheila Joyce, the project engineer. As a result of her review, sewer capacity impact fee to be assessed with the building permit per sewer regulations.
Bedroom calculations would not, I think, in this case apply. Correct. It's a garage and a porch. >> No. >> No. Yeah. >> Um, the erosion control devices must retain the sediment on site. The street should be swept regularly and cleaned from construction dust. Three, consideration should be made to install
roof drain dry wells to reduce the volume of storm water runoff generated by the roof non-metal of the proposed addition. This is not a requirement for approval. Four, there is a drain easement on site. No work shall interfere with the drain line. No permanent structures should be
