Motion Approved 5-0. A motion was made by Mr. Panico and seconded by Ms. McDermott to open the first hearing. Motion Approved 5-0. First Item on the Agenda - VMATE TAIL ESTATES (Albert Street) - Discussion regarding Modification of Subdivision Plan (Josh Borden; Stephanie LoPilato; Richard R. Staiti, Esq.) Attorney Staiti introduced himself and explained that the Applicants are before the Board for a minor modification of their plan. He would like to explain a little of the background: This subdivision was approved about four (4) years ago in accordance with Section 1.4.2.1 (which allows for 2-4 houses); The Applicant built one house for himself and family; this was an improvement to the lot by moving the proposed other house forward and closer to the front to avoid the ledge in the rear; the Fire Chief has given his approval of the new plan and is being less disturbing of the land; all dimensional requirements are being met; no variances are required; and there is more open space. Chairman Scully asked why the original plan couldn't have been done; this new road doesn't meet the requirements of frontage for a road. This will set precedence and will be problematic in the future. Further, there is no drainage on the plans, so the applicant wants to shrink the road and have no drainage? What is considered a minor modification?
