Chairwoman Santo said this meeting is a public hearing. Motion to open the public hearing: �Moved: McCarthy Absent: Aridas, DelVecchio Seconded: Swartz Vote: 5-0 Tim Lerner described the size of the garage and location on the property. Mr. Lerner explained that the Zegarelli's have an access easement and currently have to drive thru their neighbor's property to get to their parking area. Mr. Lerner said that the proposed location of the garage in the existing parking area will eliminate the need for the Zegarelli's to cross over the neighbor's property and reduce the amount of impervious surface by 842 square feet. Chairwoman Santo asked Mr. Lerner to describe the architectural design of the garage. Tim Lerner stated that the garage has been designed to match and compliment the architecture of the existing house. He said the roofing and siding materials will be consistent Mathew Brennan asked how the storm water system would work. Tim Lerner referred to the site plan drawing and stated that the unused parking area and driveway would be removed reducing the overall impervious area. The roof drainage and area in front of the garage will be collected in catch basins, piped below the driveway, and dispersed on the property towards the south side. Mathew Brennan questioned if the driveway access from Webber Avenue was going to change. Tim Lerner replied that no work was proposed to the driveway entrance on Webber Avenue. He added that the driveway section behind the neighbor's property will be removed creating more parking area for the neighbor. Philip Zegarelli gave a history or the property ownership, use, and easement description. Mathew Brennan asked if the work would change the easement and if the neighbor signed off on the work. Philip Zegarelli replied that he discussed the work with the neighbor and he was sent a notice for the meeting. Mr. Zegarelli stated the he was financially responsible for the stone bridge and that the work will not adversely affect the neighbor's access. Gordon Swartz asked if the easement was vested. Philip Zegarelli stated that the easement is permanent and was created in 1947. Gordon Swartz clarified that the neighbor has an easement over the Zegarelli bridge and the Zegarelli's have an easement through the neighbors property and that the Zegarelli's would not lose the easement if they no longer use it. Phil Zegarelli replied that the easements will still exist, that they are complimentary, not linked. �Mathew Brennan asked if the utility services to the other two properties will be affected during the construction. Philip Zegarelli described the different utilities that pass through his property and replied that the services are separate and that the work will not interfere with them.
