Page 4 <br />Minutes for the Meeting of August 13, 2008 <br />plan would avoid a bigger house on a subdivision street and was 32 feet high instead of 40 feet with <br />minimized impacts. Mr. Zurlo said to move the house a few feet and orient it toward the contours or <br />rotate the house, but not the garage. <br /> <br />Mr. Hornig said some of the issues to address were as follows: <br />?? <br />Garage and driveway grading will affect drainage; <br />?? <br />Using soil removed from one area as fill elsewhere on the site will affect drainage; <br />?? <br />Grading in rear- how much and where; <br />?? <br />Utility rerouting; <br />?? <br />Underground utilities for existing house; <br />?? <br />A way to disturb site less by having house set into the hill. <br /> <br />Mr. Zurlo said the rear retaining wall should remain as a feature of the property while removing the wall <br />running parallel to the house and bringing the grade back to the house, creating a sloped back yard. <br /> <br />Mr. Genova said he made the cut to have a useable yard. Ms. Manz said she was concerned the Board <br />was going to a level they do not need to go to. Backyard design was up to the landscape architect. Unless <br />it involves substantial cut or fill or imposes on neighboring properties, it is not our jurisdiction. <br /> <br />Mr. Hornig said the current plan was not approvable. He wanted to allow the applicant to change the <br />plans so the Board can make a decision. <br /> <br />Mr. Russell wanted specifics for the rear yard since he thought he had complied with the requests from <br />the preliminary decision. <br /> <br />Mr. Zurlo said they could go further in protecting the site. Having one area of slope would be better then <br />two areas of slope. Mr. Galaitsis said knowing that internal setbacks could be waived might allow them to <br />explore rotations or change the placement. Mr. Hornig asked how long it would take to get revised plans? <br />Mr. Russell said by September 5, 2008 he would have them to staff. <br /> <br />On a motion duly made and seconded, it was voted, 5-0, to continue the public hearing to September 24, <br />2008 at 7:45 p.m. in the Selectmen’s Meeting Room. <br /> <br />48 Summit Road; Mid-term Review: Mr. Fred Russell, engineer, and Yuan-Shion Tung, the applicant, <br /> <br />
