The Resolution was approved. APPLICATIONS: None OLD BUSINESS: None NEW BUSINESS: -Conceptual Review: Arciszewski, 32 Hopper Avenue Subdivision Bruce Whitaker, Esq., appeared before the Board. He noted that the Applicant is not bound by any concept of the conceptual plan and the Board is not bound. The Applicant would like to get a feel for what is being proposed so that the homeowner can determine whether they would like to submit a formal application. Mr. Whitaker noted that the site is in the R-1 zone. The homeowners would like to stay in their home. Their home is all on one side of the property and they would like to subdivide to have a second lot to build a single family home on. The plan indicates the two proposed lots which do not meet the 15,000 sq. ft. requirement in the R-1 zone. The lots will be 10,909 sq. ft. and 10,275 sq. ft. Currently there is a non-conforming front yard on W. Prospect and this would remain the same. The new lot will match up with the front yard setback of the existing home. There are no variances required for this lot. The existing house is in the corner of the lot, the shed would be removed. Mr. Whitaker noted that the lot will fit into the character of the neighborhood. The Board of Education property is adjacent to the property. The existing driveway is on Hopper Avenue. It was noted that the Board of Education is planning to do a sidewalk on Hopper Avenue. The Applicant can put in a sidewalk and the Board of Ed can tie into it. The Board members felt this was a reasonable proposal, would fit in with the neighborhood and would be an improvement. ADJOURNMENT: A motion was made for adjournment by Mayor Giordano and seconded by Mr. Fink at 9:00 p.m. Joyce C. Sinclair, Secretary 2
