Dorsey and Associate Board Member Peter R. Hinden. • Mr. Tragiannopoulos represented his Petition and said that he has exhausted several options for the location of the proposal and spent thousands of dollars in site plan and architectural drawings. The location of the septic system restricts placement of the proposed garage. Mr. Tragiannopoulos said that placement of the proposal in front of his residence would be extremely unattractive from a visual aspect. He said that he plans to use the structure for storage and as a personal hobby shop to sandblast, an activity which he enjoys. Mr. Tragiannopoulos said that he is not operating a business on his property and does not have any plans to do so in the future. He said that he does not park numerous vehicles on his property when he is doing his sandblasting. Mr. Tragiannopoulos said that he is going to the expense of installing a garage out of consideration for his neighbors and to mitigate any potential noise or dust from disturbing them. Letters from abutters in approval were submitted to the Board, in particular a letter from Camp Farley, the abutter most directly affected by the proposal. The Board examined the submitted photos and commented that there is an attractive 8 -foot fence that runs across the entire property. 2
