Adrienne Ortyl presented the application for her mother and the owner of the property, Dianne Santamaria. A Board member asked why it was necessary for a 2 car garage. He had a concern that the lights turning into the driveway would impact neighbors. Ms. Ortyl answered to allow handicapped accessibility parking for her parents and the driveway was designed like all other driveways on street. There were no questions from the audience. No one spoke in favor or in opposition of the petition.
