She read the <br />legal notice into the record and swore in members of the public wishing to speak. <br />The applicant Kyle Coughlin gave a brief overview of their project. He feels as if the alterations they are <br />proposing will improve the layout and functionalityof the home. Alteration 1 is a roofed portico at the <br />entrance of the house to cover the entryway, which they currently do not have. Alteration 2 would be to <br />extend an addition for a small powder room as they only have one bathroom located on the second <br />floor. Alteration 3 would be to add a second story addition with a deck. The addition would provide <br />them with more beneficial space for a primary bedroom and it would create a cover for an exterior Irving <br />space that connects both the inside and outside giving them the opportunity to enjoy their home more. <br />The Building Commissioner Bret Bennett stated that they need a Special Permit due to the non- <br />conforming rear and side setbacks. <br />ZBA Member Cynde Hartman asked how much further the addition would extend compared to the <br />steps. Kyle Coughlin said the steps would be eliminated and go to the base of the bulked. Cynde <br />Hartman asked if there had been any comments about their neighbors at 13. Kyle Coughlin stated no, <br />they recently moved and that their neighbors at 17 were on board. <br />Page 1 1 <br />
