During the meeting, the DeMilds detailed their plans for the family room addition, which includes the removal of an existing deck and the construction of a new space complete with a small porch and steps leading into the backyard. The addition aims to provide more living space for their growing family, including four adult children, their partners, and grandchildren. The board was informed that the proposed addition would be a single-story structure, designed to match the existing two-story house as closely as possible.

In discussing the application, concerns about the two variances were addressed. The board considered the fact that the proposed addition would exceed the standard lot and impervious coverages. Despite these variances, board members appeared to be in favor of the application.

The approval process included the possibility of allowing the applicants to proceed with obtaining construction permits prior to the formal memorialization of the resolution, which would enable the DeMilds to start their project without the typical waiting period. This step was suggested to expedite the process, assuming no objections from the zoning office.

Another application was reviewed and approved for a resident seeking to construct a new garage. This project also discussed the aspect of runoff and how it would be managed, as the resident planned to direct it toward the backyard. The board inquired about the construction timeline, to which the applicant estimated completion within a maximum of 30 days, weather permitting.
