MEETING MINUTES ZONING BOARD OF APPEALS WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 8, 2025 Mr. Goldstein wanted to confirm that the proposed rebuild and deck on the plan are included in the proposed lot coverage. Attorney Kirrane stated that it is included on the plan. Mr. Morris wants a letter from the structural engineer to confirm the integrity of the existing foundation; that inspections were performed to include any imperfections of the existing foundation. Attorney Kirrane stated he advises his clients that a stamped letter from a structural engineer is required by the Building Commissioner. The Board had a discussion and has concerns that the foundation will be affected during and after construction. The engineering letter that was submitted is for pre-construction. The Board will include a condition in the motion even though this concern is strictly for the Building Commissioner to review during the permitting process. There were no comments from the audience. The homeowner addressed the Board and explained that the existing entrance into the home is at ground level which is the reason for raising the house and building the porch on the front with a wooden wall to be built on top of the existing foundation.
