PUBLIC HEARING:

Z-06-17 – Priggon – 705 Farmington Rd. – Area Variance – Section 135-Schedule 1- Side yard setbacks – Richard Krapf from IDentity Design was present to address the Board on behalf of the applicant. He explained that instead of trying to reconfigure the map presented at the previous board meeting, they were going to add an addition to the rear of the property.
