Mr. Sugar introduced the application by reviewing the site plan on a uniquely shaped lot and

reviewed the staff comments.

Mr. Brett Hagen, and Ms. Jennifer Hagen, homeowners, stated the closest neighbor has

expressed no objection to the barn as proposed.

The Board, staff and applicants discussed: The existing path from the driveway to the

proposed barn, that the distance from the barn to the neighbors house is approximately

230-feet, that additional screening landscaping is desired, the existing landscaping that is not

shown on the older photo, and the possibility of using windows to tie into the house design.

A motion was made by Ms. Kenney, seconded by Ms. Marzulla, that this AHBR

Mr. Sugar introduced the application by displaying and describing the project and reviewing

the staff comments.

Ms. Bridget Tipton, Point B Studio, noted designs were created which centered the exterior

front door but the interior stairway location made those designs cost prohibitive, and the

elevation without a window on the side of the house has a series of smaller rooms which make

a window not practical.

The Board, applicant, and staff discussed: The off centered door in relation to the interior

stairway, the possibility of a facade door, and a possible small window to the top right of the

door area which would help center the doorway but present safety concerns.

Ms. Kenney made a motion, seconded by Mr. Ray, to approve with the condition that a

small window be installed near the front door to balance the off-centered front door.

The motion was approved by the following vote:

Aye:

6 - Mr. Caputo, Ms. Kenney, Ms. Marzulla, Mr. Ray, Mr. Wetzel and Ms. Sredinski

window above. The motion carried by the following vote:
