J Califano: The house on one side has a deck in the back, but it is hidden. On the other side <br />there is a gazebo and you can't make out if there is a deck as well because of the foliage. <br />Klusczinski: That's all I had, any other questions? <br />Sporleder: Yes, I have one. This isn't related directly to the deck, but looking at your site plan, <br />how do you get from the deck to the pool? Is this grass or paved? <br />J Califano: It's grass currently. <br />Sporleder: Do you intend to eventually pave it at all? Make it so a paved area connects to the <br />back? <br />T Califano: We'll probably landscape it somehow to make a walkway down to there. <br />Sporleder: Ok, that's irrelevant I suppose. <br />T Califano: We haven't gotten that far yet. <br />Sporleder: I guess that I was wondering why the deck wasn't big enough to reach to the pool or <br />something like that. <br />T Califano: We have to wait for the pool people to decide exactly where they're going to locate. <br />They were out there once and said that the general location was fine, but they may have to move <br />it a bit if they find big stumps or something. <br />Sporleder: Is there any current landscaping there that needs to be removed? <br />J Califano: Weeds. <br />Sporleder: Ok. So you're not expecting any big stumps? <br />T Califano: Well, we'd heard that there was a big tree there once that fell on the house. But you <br />know the neighbors always have different stories to tell you so you don't know what's true or not. <br />Klusczinski: Any other questions? Any discussion among Commissioners? Chair opens public <br />hearing. Any member of the public wishing to speak in favor of the petition? Seeing none. Any <br />member of the public wishing to speak in opposition? Also hearing none, I close public hearing. <br />Any other questions? What is the board's pleasure? <br />Riley: I move that we approve application 2007-0912A. <br />Sporleder: Second. <br />Klusczinski: Motion has been made and seconded. Any discussion? All in favor?
