Board of Appeals Minutes—October 28, 1998 4 Mr. Regan clarified that the front left corner of the garage meets the fifteen-foot setback requirements and that only a minute portion of the back corner needs relief of 4.1 feet from the setback requirements. He also said that lot coverage, including the garage, is still small. Mr. Govoni said the Board could condition granting the Variance, subject to screening that would be acceptable to the abutters. He suggested that, although the Board feels the project is reasonable, the application be continued until the owner and the abutter in opposition could agree on a specific type of screening. On discovering that the Board would have to continue the application until December, they suggested to come to some sort of agreement at this hearing. Mr. Nelson moved to grant the Variance of 4.1 feet with the following conditions: 1. an agreement for an evergreen screening to be arrived at between the petitioner and the abutters,the Connolly's. 2. the screening will be a minimum of five feet in height and four feet on center. 3. the screening will be planted from the front to the back of the house. 4. criteria 1 —4,findings 1, 5. topography of the lot, only house in neighborhood without a garage. 6. it will benefit the neighborhood. Mr. Regan seconded. All agreed. John J.
