An audience member, Vineeta Belanger of 150 Grant Street, stated her support for the proposed plan. An audience member, Karen Morise of 142 Grant Street, stated she had several concerns. She discussed the impact of traffic pattern, parking, sewage and solar impact from a large tree in the front yard of 140 Grant Street. Mr. Cohen clarified the location of the tree. Mr. Clifford stated the contractor can work to make sure the neighborhood is impacted as little as possible. In terms of sewer the contractor can look at that as well, it is not in the Boards purview. The Zoning Administrator stated the water and sewer department at the Department of Public Works can help with the sewer. There were no further questions or comments from the audience.

Mr. Clifford reminded the Board of the condition that the shed be compliant to zoning. There were no further questions or comments from the Board.
