Changes to the Agenda None III. Public Comment None IV. Approve Previous Meeting Minutes Decision: 4 – 0 Motion by: Mr. Weissberger Second: Ms. Hayes Approved minutes as presented. V. Waiver Request – 264 North Street Mr. Lumpkin opened a hearing on the waiver request for 264 North Street and swore in those persons intending to provide testimony. Mr. Weissberger indicated that he has a personal relationship with the applicant but did not believe that this would influence his ability to provide a fair evaluation of the question before the Board. No members objected to Mr. Weissberger’s participation in the proceedings. At the outset of the hearing, Mr. Coffey provided an overview of the project and identified the need for the waiver. He stated that his existing lot is a pre-existing non-conforming lot, and the home on the property is currently located within the sideyard setback. He indicated that he wanted to add an addition to the rear of the property and maintain, at a minimum, the existing profile of the house. In order to accomplish this, he noted that he would need a waiver from the sideyard setback. At this point in the meeting, Ms. Goodrich joined and indicated that she was a former employee of Mr. Coffey’s but did not think that relationship would preclude her from evaluating the request in a fair manner. Mr. Lumpkin stated that, while it did not appear Ms. Goodrich had a conflict, due to her late arrival to the meeting, it may be appropriate for her to not participate in the deliberation since she did not hear all of the conversations thus far. All were in agreement.  sideyard setback.
