briefly on his application.
Mr. DeGiorgio spoke
Mr. Frank Paciucco of 28 Sandrock Avenue was present and stated that
he was an adjoining property owner. Although he was not objecting
to this application, he is concerned at the distance it will come
to the unimproved portion of Russell Place. The Board reviewed
Mr. DeGiorgio's plan and found that the plot plan and actual plan
did not coincide. Mr. DeGiorgio stated that he was also unaware
of that fact.
The Board established that this home was built in April 1958, and,
and that time, the zoning was two family.
The present zoning now
is one family. Mr. DeGiorgio stated, at present, he lives in this
home with his brother in one apartment and his parents in the other
apartment and it is not his intention to convert this home into a
three family home. The Board stated that by placing stairs where
they are located makes it very possible to convert this home into
a three family. Mr. DeGiorgio restated his previous position that
he does not want a three family home.
•
The Board requested Mr. DeGiorgio to have his plan redrawn and to
have dimensions placed thereon.
Further, Mr. DeGiorgio was requested
to have Mr. Egner present at the next meeting, if possible. Mr.
DeGiorgio stated he would do this.
