Members sitting: E. Govoni, J. Regan, C. Hawver Engineer David Sanicki represented the applicant and informed the Board the subject lot was located on a comer and contained 6,500 sf. The owner wants to add a deck and shed which will result in 24% lot coverage and a 12.5' setback from Nick Trail. Mr. Govoni read a letter from an abutter, Dr. Brennan, stating that she had no objection. Mr. Hauck said earliest zoning was 20' front and 7.5' side in 1959 but this was in a 1940 subdivision before zoning. Ms. Hawver said the location on the comer created a hardship in the use of the land.

He said that the relief would not be a detriment to the neighborhood. Ms. Hawver seconded. All agreed. Gloria M.
