Mr.Sabatella stated that they were looking to replace some of the siding on the side of the house.They
had wanted to just repair it but after examining the area they thought it would be best to replace the
siding with something identical. He also noted on the other side of the house there was some water
damage.The source of the water was repaired but it damaged some molding so they were looking to
repair that damage with something identical.
Mr.Sabatella also noted that due to zoning issues they were not aware of,their previous proposal to
add a deck over the garage,for which they received a Certificate of Appropriateness recently,will not go
forward.
