He explained that the house has only basement crawl space and the owner required additional storage space. The proposed lot coverage would be 23%. Attorney Kevin Kirrane, representing a direct abutter, Alfred White, informed the Board that his client was opposed to the Variance application. He presented a brief to the Board. He stated that he did not consider there was any hardship in this case. He questioned the use of a 24' x 42' garage and said it was considerably larger than many homes. He said the proposed addition would bring the dwelling within 5' of the wetlands and asked if there should not be application for variance relief on setback from the wetlands. Mr. Hanrahan read a letter from Attorney Stephen M. Politi, an abutter, saying he was in strong opposition to the application. There was discussion on the need for a variance from the wetlands. Mr. Hanrahan moved to deny the application on the basis that no hardship exists. Mr. Halpern seconded. All agreed. Debra Orlando - (Owner of record: John E. and Phyllis J.
