Dear Mr_ Johnson:
I am writing you with regards to rny review of the above-referenced project and to docurnent the
recent conversations between you and Laura Moore of my office.
As I understand your project, your project includes the construction of an addition to your home
and new decks. i have reviewed your preliminary design and note that an Area Variance will be
needed should you wish to continue with your proposal. Specifically, Area Variance relief is
needed as your proposed owistruction will not meet the minimum setbacks requirements for the
Rural Residential; (RR) district. Please note our established submittal deadlines and our pre-
submission meeting requirements when you are preparing the necessary applications.
Should you have any questions or coinrntnts regarding your application, please do not hesitate to
contact this offine.
Sincerely,
(2JA-)
