the size of the structure. Guido asked if he should also have the homeowner talk with his neighbors and show them the plans, and the Board said yes. A letter from neighbors was suggested as well. All members voted in favor of the motion to table this application. TABLED Application # 6146 Carl Dinezza – Requesting two (2) area variances for a proposed two lot subdivision 58 North Shore Drive (Zoned R-2) Carl Dinezza, the homeowner, spoke on this variance. He has been working with the Planning Board and Building Department to get his lot subdivided into two parcels. His community corporation granted him permission and he has a letter. He filled out the variance information to explain why he needs this. His daughter is coming up from North Carolina with his two grandchildren. She is being priced out of the market. This is a chance for him to bring his daughter closer to home and back to Hamburg. He wants to build her something modest. His wife has also recently suffered from two strokes. Having his daughter close will help with the care of his wife. His neighbors love this idea and will love to have more children in the neighborhood. Right now he does not have any building plans. He is focused on getting the property situated with an address and go from there. He is working with architect Daryl Martin on where to put the structure, and where he can add on to his home. He needs to add to his home in order to care for his wife. He hopes to get this granted so he can get his family here and hopefully start building within the year. Commissioner Chapman asked how big of an expansion he will be doing on his house to get an idea on the variance he may need in the future. Dinezza stated he will expand 30ft off the back of the house and it will be 20ft wide. It will put him roughly within 30 feet of the property line. Commissioner Chapman asked about the utilities at the new house. Dinezza stated that the new house he will build for his daughter will have all of its own utilities. He talked to the gas company, National Grid, and the sewer department. It was recommended for him to talk to the Building Department too. They could take the existing building that is there now and using the existing footer, add 1000sq ft., and he would still be 50ft away from the property line. He checked these things out because he would not be there if he thought it would not work. Jeff Skrzypek added that splitting the lot would not put his existing structure into any setback variances. However, a new house depending on how it is plotted, he may have to come back for setbacks. At this point in time without knowing if this subdivision would be approved, he did not spend money on plot plans and house drawings yet. The Board had no further questions. Findings: Mrs. Hahn made a motion, seconded by Mr. Yoder, to approve Application # 6146. On the question:
