Town Manager Garrison advised that there would be four applications for
the April meeting. She suggested that at this annual meeting perhaps
the Board may want to consider a change in the regular meeting date.
Insofar as Town Attorney has a constant schedule conflict on the fourth
Wednesday of the month. While most of the time it is not necessary that
he attend, there will be times when it would be very beneficial. Mrs.
Garrison suggested that the Board Members check their calendars to see
if it would be possible to change and if not, she would confer with the
Attorney prior to the meetings that may involve legal issues in an
effort to have answers for questions that might arise in the meeting.

Mr. Mark Marsh, Agent for Mr., Murphy, displayed color renderings of
the proposed addition pointing out that all materials, colors and the
roof lines are the same as the existing house and that the windows and
shutters are of the same design as those in the home with muntins in the
windows included. He noted that the addition gives the appearance of
being part of the original home, not just an add-on. Mr. Marsh then
circulated photos of the existing vegetation on the site and pointed out
-, that it is very lush but that additional materials will be added, 3
Ligustrum trees, 1 Pigmy Date Palm, Giant Liriope, Dwarf Philodendron
and Viburnum hedge around the perimeter of the addition to further
screen the new section of the home.

by landscaping.
