the fence would be there to keep people out of his property. He stated that he wants to
make sure things are secure and does not want to let people know what is inside the
fenced area. He stated that this is why the storage area would be over 200 feet from the
road.

In response to a question from Chairman Ziarnowski, Mr. Dobson stated that he cannot
put a gate up on Tom Drive because the man who lives in the back along the power line
must get through there.

In response to a question from Chairman Ziarnowski, Mr. Dobson stated that there may
be tractor trailer deliveries occasionally, but most of the fence company’s jobs are
commercial jobs where materials are delivered right to the site. He stated that this site
will be where his son can drop off the trucks and his crew can get in there. He noted
that anyone walking down Boston State Road, even if they walked up Tom Drive, would
not be able to get into the storage area at all.

In response to a question from Chairman Ziarnowski, Mr. Dobson stated that he
understands that he will have to go through Erie County to get the culverts extended to
accommodate the trucks.

Mr. Dobson stated that when he put the offer on the property, it was contingent upon
successfully getting a use variance from the ZBA, which he did. He stated that he is
trying to figure out what he is going to do long term as far as the building is concerned,
but the immediate need that he has right now is the approval of the fence for the
storage yard. He noted that his son is running the business out of his house, which is
not in Boston, and the business has grown exponentially over the last two (2) years.
He stated that he would like to give the Town a presentation for the entire project, but he
is not sure where the building is going to go or how big it will be.

In response to a question from Chairman Ziarnowski, Mr. Dobson stated that he is
planning on having an office in the future building.

Chairman Ziarnowski advised Mr. Dobson that the town engineer will be reviewing the
Site Plan for the eventual building on the site when plans are submitted.

Mr. Dobson noted that he plans to construct a berm when the building is constructed in
the area of Tom Drive and the existing trees on the site will remain. He noted that the
berm will be flat on top and he plans to plant pine trees there.

It was determined that there were no conditions associated with the granting of the use
variance by the ZBA to allow this use in a C-1 zoning district.

In response to a question from Chairman Ziarnowski, Mr. Dobson stated that he plans to
