And there are limitations on it. So I personally do not have a problem. I don't really
think the applicant has any other alternatives in this instance. Mr. Goehfinger?
MEMBER GOEHRINGER: We could, of course, make you cut back that area that is
within 2" of the existing property, since this is really like a total renovation of the house.
Is it not? I mean they are moving out to do this renovation, r~ght?
MR. SCHWARTZ: We haven't discussed that, but yes, it's big enough that they may
have to move out.
MEMBER GOEHRINGER: I don't know at what point 50% mark is, it's probably at
least 50%, if not more· Not in reference to total square footage, but in reference to things
that are going to be done to the house· So again, we could make it more conforrrfing if
we wanted to, but it appears the board doesn't to do that. I don't mean that in a sarcastic
mmmer, I mean that in a pragmatic manner. So, we~i1 go firom hhere.
CHAIRWOMAN: Let me ask you a question. If we cut this back, how many inches?
MEMBER GOEHRKNGER: He said it was 2".
CHA~RWOMAN: So if we cut this back, what are you suggesting?
MEMBER GOEHRINGER: I'm not suggesti~.g, if it's 2" or a foot, it's still very close to
the prope~w line.
CHAIRWOMAN: What are you suggesting that he would cut it back?
MEMBER GOEHR1NGER: In reality, 3'
MR. SCHWARTZ: In that area, I don't thir& so. Is there a basement under...
BOARD SECRETARY KOWALSKh Excuse me, Mr. Combs, because we are
recording, somebody else needs to transcribe it. What was the question?
MR. COMBS: Not a question, just a statement that the structure existed before the
current owner purchased the property. Years ago apparently they were not that accurate
with SUi~ve S A ~'~ ~ ~nd ~
· y an,~ ~ z rormar owner discovered when they were putting their affairs in
order that we were actually over the line and be deeded~ there is a separate deed for that
few inches of property. And at the time, I wanted to purchase some more, and he didn't
want to sell it.
MEMBER ORLANDO: That section, that 10*xl0', or whatever, there is a full basement
under that?
MR. COMBS: It's not a full, but it is up on block, and it's excavated underneath. That's
how _~ got the heat out there when we...

if they gave me a 25' setback. I'm perfectly happy if th~s engineer that came out and
made th/s drawing is able to sit the pool where he places it on the drawing. But if it
needs to be moved 4 or 5~, does that mean that I have to then come back to the board?
Well, okay. Thegn I guess that*s what k means, k's your logic, not n~ne. So ?m stuck
with it. I~d like the hemSng, at least, to close on the swim~ng pool. And if it works o~at
when they are constructing it that I need the 25~ setback, I guess I~ll have to come in front
of you again.
CHAIRWOMAN: Is there anyone in the audience who would l~ke to speak in favor or
against the application?
SUSAN BRAVER: I'm Susan Braver, I~m the other half. The garage is going where it's
at. Period. And it's going to be there, exactly where you have it. But the question I have
is can I keep t~his process open, or do I have to submit a whole new thing in order to,
suppose 1 leave it exactly the way you have it~ exactly the way it looks? Suppose I don~t
even have a shed, I just have a garage. Can I just come back in, or do I have m start this
whole process ali over again?
MEMBER ORLANDO: For the garage?
MS. BRAVER: Yes.
MEMBER ORLANDO: Because we're not approving your garage.
MS. BRAVER: I understand that.
MEMBER OLiVA: So you'd have to start it all over again.
MS. BRAVER: Even if it's exactly what it is r~ow.
MEMBER ORLANDO: You'd subrrfit a new application with drawings, and setbacks.
Because you'll submk it to the BD~ they'll deny it because it's in the front yard. And it
will come to us.
MS. BRAVER: So even if~t's exactly where it is on your plans, fight now with the exact
same setbacks they have now?
CHAIRWOMAN: Show it to us now.
MS. BRAVER: You need the numbers of the property line to wher~ the garage is.
CHAIRWOMAN: And the floor plan. We need to see what we are approving. And the
exact location of what it is. If you don't know what that is, we can...
MEMBER ORLANDO: Give you the pool, and you can come back when you are ready.
