Mr. Finsworth confirmed that the additional 80 sq. feet of impervious surface area would be the area under the connecting roof where a room will be constructed. The footings will be excavated by hand. Ms. Dohan asked if there will be a foundation constructed for the addition. Mr. Finsworth stated that a full foundation will be installed for the addition. Mr. Beuttell asked where the resource area was in relation to the proposed project. Mr. Beuttell inquired as to why stormwater management was not required for this filing. Mr. Langseth stated that this was a unique filing, however, since the roof is being reused then it is ambiguous whether the stormwater requirements would be triggered. Mr. Langseth additionally noted that Ms. Erlich and he discussed the possible stormwater management systems. Ms. Erlich stated that she had had a civil engineer at the property and it would be very costly to provide stormwater management, because of the specific character of her lot.
