The Petitioner came before the Board on March 13, 2008. Due to a clerical error, the Board felt it was in 
the best interest of all concerned that this hearing be continued until tonight (3/27/08). They heard the 
petitioner’s case on 3/13/08 and were inclined to approve their request. Per Chairman Carroll, this is the 
only place on their lot that this addition could go. Mr. Pando stated that this is a “poster case”, and due to 
its uniqueness, topography, wetlands, it would be a hardship to put this addition in another location. Mr. 
Pando stated that this is straightforward, there is no question. Motion made to allow a variance, to 
construct a one story addition, on the rear (Northwest side) of 12 Bailey Ct, for a family room encroaching
