They had relocated the garage, re-sited the house, eliminated the retaining wall and lowered the house. Ken Pastrof, Land Analysis Associates, had a slide presentation which emphasized the changes addressed by Mr. Chen. The slides showed the house moved and lowered, the 220' setback, the grading plan which included the elimination of the second garage, the one-story appearance of the house; and the opportunity for more landscaping. Mrs. Chen, applicant, distributed a handout which compared their application to a recently approved home on their street. While their home was well within the allowed regulations and they had complied with the Town's ordinances, the other home was practically to the maximum development allowed with much smaller setbacks. She found it interesting that none of the neighbors had complained about the other house. September 7, 1994 10
