Mr. Gregory Jones, Architect, gave a detailed Power Point presentation and explained that this was a small lot, so it proved to be a challenge. Chairman Smith asked about the survey showing a manhole on the property to which Miss Olivia Lyons stated there was no manhole on the property. Mr. Jones stated there was already lush vegetation on the surrounding properties and the landscaping for this property would harmonize with the vegetation already present for screening purposes. Board Member Dockerty asked if the surrounding lots were approximately the same size as this lot to which Mr. Jones answered in the affirmative. Mr. Jones stated they were able to make use of the special exceptions available to a property that is 100 feet deep or oil Minutes of ARPB Meeting & Public Hearing Held 2-24-2022 @ 8:30 A.M. —. less, which allowed them to have better building setbacks to give a 2,400 sq. ft. residence on the property and able to have a pool. He added it also allowed them to have an amended front setback, sides and a rear that they didn't take advantage of on the rear with the exception of the proposed lap pool. Mr. Jones explained that the landscape architect couldn't make the meeting due to an injury and then he read a narrative sent in from Mr. Dave Bodker giving details of the proposed landscaping. Vice Chairman Murphy asked if there had been any feedback from the neighbors to which Town Clerk Taylor answered there had been none. There was discussion amongst the board members regarding two invasive trees on the property and Miss Lyons stated they were going to be removed to the gratification of the neighbors. Chairman Smith stated he loved the way the house looked from the road but wondered if there was any way to screen the second story a little more. Miss Lyons explained that the utility lines were in the way and they personally would like a larger tree, but they were putting the Foxtail trees in front, close to the house. Mr. Jones reminded everyone that the second story was set back and you couldn't see that on the rendering. Board Member Dockerty asked how small the home would be if the setbacks weren't changed under the allowances made under special exceptions to which Mr. Jones stated approximately 30-40a less and it wouldn't be feasible. Chairman Smith asked what the color of the shutters was going to be to which Mr. Jones answered that they were blue, and Miss Lyons added that the exact color was called New York State of Mind Blue. Board Member Dockerty asked about the height of the roof and what was the maximum allowed to which Mr. Jones answered it was 251211, but maximum was 30' and they were trying to keep the massing down. Mr. Dockerty then wanted to know what the ceiling heights were to which Mr. Jones answered nine feet.
