He informs the Board that sandplane grass plant will be planted to help with the drainage situation as is depicted in his landscaping plan submitted to the ZBA and Conservation Commission. Paul Dardano and Walter Dardano are present and reiterate their written concerns verbally to the Board. Also present is Frances Parsons who reiterates her concerns.

They have suggested a compromise of 22-23% lot coverage due to the small lot size and the fact that many of their own dwellings are in the vicinity of 23% lot coverage. They also express concerns for environmental impacts with improper drainage being a problem now with the flooding they experience.
