No Public Comments. HC COMMENTS: Mr. Kalsow recommended to slid back the additions so the variance would be equally on the rear yard and front yard. He also stated the proposed second-story portion of the house is very tall, which will overwhelm the existing cape. He also suggested to remain the existing front door as entrance. Changing the front door to a small window dramatically alters the appearance of the front elevation of the house. He finally stated he will vote in favor of it, but he would encourage the applicant coming back with a slightly lower second-story. Ms. Pursley suggested to add sunlight in second-story and inquired about its impact to the neighbors. She also suggested to keep the existing front door as entrance. Ms. Fenollosa stated it is not her favorite plans, but she would not oppose it. Mr. Rotberg and Ms. Bennett stated they supported the proposed plans.
