Applicant is requesting the reduction of a rear yard extension from 3 stories to 2 stories.

Motion to disapprove made by Roy Sloane – A fifth story addition is unacceptable, the bulk of the 2 story addition is too large and design of it is inconsistent with neighborhood extensions. They should come back to the committee when the plan has been reworked.
