Mr. Orr stated that they are just asking for a staircase as opposed to a pull down ladder. It isn’t going to change the size of the structure. Ms. Krieger stated that the temptation is that someone may use it in the future as a livable space so she sees no justification for having a staircase. There was a discussion about whether to withdraw the variance or to just take the vote. Mr. Orr requested to withdraw the variance request. There were no further questions or comments from the Board.
