Description
The City of Beacon Zoning Board Meeting from Tuesday, February 15, 2022
A
Anyway,
ethics,
ethics,
so
last
month
in
november
we
yeah
last
year
we
went
through.
We
started
this
powerpoint.
It
was
about
open
meetings,
law
and
ethics.
Last
time
we
got
through
this
slide
about
the
open
meetings
law.
We
talked
about
what
a
meeting
is
and
what
it
means
when
there's
a
quorum
and
conducting
public
business
and
all
the
requirements
and
the
changes
that
have
happened
in
the
open
meetings
law.
A
The
only
update
I
want
to
give
is
that
the
state
legislature
has
adopted
new
legislation
that
says
that
virtual
meetings
can
continue
for
as
long
as
the
state
of
emergency
continues,
so
that
doesn't
really
impact
us
we've
been
meeting
in
person,
but
it
does
mean
that
virtual
meetings
can
continue
through
march
16th,
which
I
think
is
interesting,
and
virtual
meetings
can
continue,
regardless
of
the
executive
order.
It
just
means
that
you
have
to
notice
the
location
of
any
board
member
attending
virtually
the
state
legislation.
That's
out.
B
A
C
A
D
A
A
A
A
Questions
of
conflicts
of
interest
require
a
case-by-case
analysis
of
the
facts
and
circumstances.
If
there's
ever
a
situation
that
comes
up
where
you're
concerned
that
there
might
be
a
conflict,
you
might
have
a
conflict
of
interest
with
an
application
make
sure
you
reach
out
to
our
office.
We
can
talk
through
the
facts
and
see
whether
or
not
you
have
to
recuse
yourself
or
if
you
simply
have
to
disclose
that
you
have
a
connection
to
somebody
who's
presenting
on
behalf
of
the
applicant
or
the
applicant
themselves.
A
So
something
like
that
conflicts
are
governed
by
the
new
york
state,
general
municipal
law,
article
18
and
the
city
of
beacon
ethics
code,
chapter
29,
which
is
what
you
have
in
front
of
you.
This
is
available
on
e-codes,
so
if
you
just
type
in
city
of
beacon
e-codes,
you
can
find
it
super
easily,
along
with
every
other
provision
of
the
city
code,
public
officials,
which
includes
zba
mama
hand,
gestures,
zba,
board
members
should
avoid
even
the
appearance
of
impropriety
in
order
to
maintain
public
confidence
in
the
entire
integrity
of
government.
A
So
we
don't
want
to
do
anything
that
would
cause
someone
to
think
that
you
are
being
influenced
in
any
way,
which
is
why
we
always
want
to
be
transparent
and
make
sure
we're.
You
know
stating
potential
conflicts
on
the
record.
A
disqualifying
conflict
of
interest
is
one
that
is
substantial,
direct
and
non-speculative.
A
F
A
Not
considered
a
substantial
interest,
we
might
want
to
disclose
and
say
you
know
last
year
that
guy
did
my
fence
as
well.
I
I
can
sit
here
and
be
impartial
in
my
decision
making
done
not
a
conflict,
but
you've
disclosed
that
you
might
have
a
closer
relationship
than
other
members
of
the
board
to
that
individual.
A
As
a
matter
of
public
policy
courts
recognize
that
public
officials
inevitably
will
have
pre-existing
social
relationships
and
other
social
ties
to
their
community.
Your
active
members
are
here
again
beacon's,
not
that
big.
So
you
know
it's
not
about
any
potential
connection
to
someone.
It
really
is
about
the
substantial
interest.
A
A
It
is
common,
particularly
in
smaller
communities
that
board
members
have
familia
familiarity
with
many
of
the
applicants.
There
is
not
and
cannot
be
a
basis
for
recusal
unless
there
is
something
about
the
relationship
that
would
cause
the
board
member
to
be
unable
to
review
the
application
objectively.
A
In
that
case,
you
should
recuse
yourself,
but
this
should
be
in
a
rare
occurrence.
Otherwise
it
is
doing
a
disservice
to
the
applicant
due
to
a
frequent
inability
to
have
a
full
membership
of
the
board
review
and
decide
the
application.
So
the
goal
is
to
have
all
five
of
you
make
a
decision
on
the
application,
which
is
why
you
know
we
our
instincts
not
to
go
immediately
to
recusal.
A
So
let's
talk
about
article
18.,
so
new
york,
state
general
municipal
law,
article
18,
prohibits
municipal
officers
and
employees
from
having
interest
in
contracts
with
the
municipality
for
which
they
serve,
but
only
under
certain
circumstances,
so
to
have
a
prohibited
interest
in
a
contract.
Four
conditions
must
be
met.
There
must
be
a
contract.
A
The
individual
must
have
an
interest
in
that
contract.
The
individual
must
have
certain
powers
or
duties
with
respect
to
the
contract
and
the
situation
must
not
fit
within
any
of
the
exceptions
listed
in
the
law.
So
a
contract
for
purposes
of
article
18
is
any
claim
account
or
demand
against,
or
agreement
with,
a
municipality
express
or
implied.
It's
very
interesting.
There
is
case
law
out
there
that
says
a
building
permit
is
a
contract.
A
A
A
A
A
Disclosure
of
interest
is
required
if
you
have
any
financial
interest,
direct
or
indirect
in
any
contract
with
the
city
or
the
sale
of
any
land,
material
supplies
or
services
to
the
city
or
in
any
contractor
supplying
the
city,
and
you
have
to
make
that
interest
known
in
writing
to
the
city
council
and
the
board
of
ethics.
The
conflicted
person
shall
not
in
any
way
participate
in
any
discussions
of
the
contract.
A
A
So
that's
one
why
we
always
advise
stay
off
social
media
and
don't
talk
about
city
business,
but
also
you
know
you
don't
want
to
pre-judge
a
project
before
it
comes
before
your
board,
because
again
we're
building
the
record
here.
If
you're
going
to
vote
in
favor
or
you're
going
to
vote
against
we're,
the
zba
has
the
responsibility
of
reviewing
the
five
factors
and
making
a
determination
of,
what's
in
the
record
in
front
of
this
board.
A
A
The
mere
social
relationship
between
an
applicant
and
a
zoning
board
member
does
not,
in
and
of
itself
create
a
conflict
of
interest
sufficient
to
require
that
members
recusal.
I
think
if
somebody
is
your
spouse-
or
you
know
your
close
family
member,
we
might
want
to
look
at
that
a
little
closer.
If
someone
is
you
know
your
friend,
I
think
that
would
be
okay.
A
There
is
no
conflict
of
interest
where
a
board
member
was
employed
by
opponents
to
a
project,
because
the
conflict
is
too
attenuated
and
speculative.
So
that's
another
word
that
the
courts
really
is
it
spec?
Is
there
an
actual
conflict?
Is
there
something
that
can
be
measured
if
it's
just
speculative
and
people
are
assuming
that
doesn't
rise
to
the
level
of
recusal?
Again,
you
might
want
to
disclose
that,
but
it
does
not
trigger
recusal.
A
A
The
supervisor
stated
that
she
would
recuse
herself
from
voting
on
a
related
matter
before
the
town
board
involving
a
zoning
amendment
which
would
prohibit
concrete
production
in
the
zoning
district
adjacent
to
the
hoa.
While
the
supervisor
did
not
vote
on
the
amendment,
she
nonetheless
continued
to
participate
in
discussions
and
the
public
hearing.
This
had
the
potential
to
influence
board
members.
So
if
you're
going
to
recuse
yourself,
you
just
step
away
from
the
table
and
sit
in
the
audience
or
even
sit
outside
that
way.
A
A
Another
example:
ownership
of
real
property
in
an
area
that
will
be
financially
affected
by
a
board's
decision
does
not
require
disqualification
if
other
property
owners
will
be
similarly
affected.
So
if,
if
it's
not
just
your
property
being
signaled
signaled
out
and
it's
a
larger
group,
you
don't
have
to
recuse
yourself
again,
especially
if
the
impact
is
speculative.
Are
you
even
going
to
benefit
that's
a
question?
A
recusal
is
not
necessary
again,
maybe
disclosure,
but
we
can
look
at
the
the
facts
in
that
situation.
A
C
A
C
A
In
this
example
that
I
have
on
the
screen,
the
interest
can
be
deemed
too
remote
and
indirect
to
constitute
disqualifying
conflicts.
So
courts
also
recognize
that
public
policy
should
not
discourage
municipal
officials
from
being
property
owners.
You,
obviously
you
own
property
in
the
city.
You
might
be
impacted
by
you
know
a
decision
that
doesn't
disqualify
you
from
participating
in
discussions
necessarily
again
we'd
have
to
look
at
what
the
impact
is.
A
A
I
I
I
I
didn't
see
one
in
the
ethics
chapter
you
handed
out
and
it
what
you
said,
definitely
piqued
an
eyebrow
with
me,
because
I
know
that
in
the
context
of
administrative
law,
which
is
probably
the
closest
analog,
we've
got
to
what
we
do
here.
The
standard
for
a
decision
maker
with
regard
to
past
statements
about
political
or
policy
matters
that
might
have
some
bearing
of
what's
going
on
is,
I
think
the
exact
language
is
unalterably
closed.
Mind
like
on
the
rationale.
A
Yeah,
so
I
can
circulate
this
comes
mostly
from
the
committee
on
open
government
in
their
advisory
opinions,
so
I
can
find
that
and
I'll
circulate
it
to
all
the
members
of
the
board.
Unfortunately,
I
did
not
print
it
out
with
me
tonight,
but
you
know,
I
think
the
the
biggest
thing
is,
for
example,
let's
say:
there's
an
application
before
the
planning
board
and
a
member
of
the
zba
has
gone
on.
I
don't
know
twitter
and
said
this
project
is
terrible
for
the
community
there's
no
way
the
planning
board
should
approve
this.
A
This
is
outrageous
and
then
that
they
need
a
variance
and
they
come
before
the
zba.
They
might
themselves
object
and
say
this
person
has
on
twitter
expressed
an
objection
and
they
cannot
be
impartial.
You
know,
clearly,
they
have
shown
some
close-mindedness
to
the
potential
for
this
project
and
they
haven't
evaluated
it
on
the
five
factors.
That
would
be
a
problem
and
we'd,
probably
you
know,
recommend
recusal
in
that
situation.
Yeah.
C
A
Right,
I
think
that
would
be
a
different
situation
and
you
know
we
we
can
talk.
We
could
talk
about
it.
You
know,
maybe
you'd
want
to
show
us
what
the
tweet
said
or
the
post
set
or
whatever
it
may
be,
but
that's
more
of
a
general
statement
and
I
would
say
that
that
would
not
necessarily
rise
to
the
level
of
recusal.
We're
really
thinking
about
the
clear
objections
to
specific
projects
that
have
come
before
this.
This
board.
Okay,.
I
A
I
A
Right
and
that's
not
what
the
courts
want
court
wants.
That's
not
what
the
municipality
wants
in
any
situation.
You
don't
want
recusal.
You
want
your
board
members
to
to
be
the
ones
making
decisions
on
these
projects,
and
you
know
you're
entitled
to
opinions.
You
know,
and
you
weren't,
you
might
not
even
thought
that
you'd
be.
You
might
not
have
been
on
the
zba
at
the
time
you
made
a
general,
a
general
post
so
that
something
a
general
statement
like
that
about
you
know
or
or
if
you
say,
like
beacon-
needs
more
parks.
A
You
know
like
that's,
not
the
same
thing
where
the
example
I
was
thinking
that
would
rise
to
the
level
of
recusal,
something
very
specific
about
clear
objections
or
favoritism
on
a
project.
You
know
if
you
were,
if
planning
boards
are
viewing
something
on
city,
council
and
you're
like
this,
must
be
adopted
without
a
doubt.
This
is
perfect
the
way
it
is,
and
then
it
comes
you
know
before
the
zba,
because
it
needs
a
variance
or
an
appeal
happens.
A
You
know
that
could
rise
to
the
level
of
being
a
concern
again.
It
would
be
evaluated
on
a
case-by-case
basis,
but
we
just
want
to
make
sure
that
the
specific
project
has
not
been
prejudged
before
the
zba
went
through
the
five
factors,
and
that
doesn't
mean
post
and
be
like
well.
This
is
clearly
self-created,
and
this
is
clearly
enviro
going
to
impact
the
environment
and
impact
the
community.
You
know
you'd
want
to
have
that
the
express
those
opinions
at
the
zba
meeting
based
on.
A
What's
before
you
and
you,
you
know
it
could
be
the
same
information
that's
coming
over
from
the
planning
board.
But
again
your
job
is
to
make
those
opinions
here
in
public
at
the
meeting,
but
your
your
general
statements
are
are
fine
again.
My
example
is
just
about
specific
projects
that
you
know
everything
has
a
potential
to
come
to
the
zba
needing
a
variance
or
you
know,
could
be
appealed
in
some
way
or
an
interpretation
about
the
code.
A
So
you
know,
even
if
you
think,
a
project
doesn't
have
a
chance
of
coming
before
you,
if
it's
in
the
queue
being
reviewed
by
the
city
council
or
by
the
planning
board
best
not
to
opine
specifically
on
that
project,
because
it
could
come
to
you
and
we
don't
want
anyone
to
have
to
recuse
themselves
in
any
way
and
also
always
be
careful.
What
you're
saying
on
social
media?
A
A
I
knew
I
should
add
a
multiple
choice
next
time.
I
think
the
next
training
is
going
to
be
a
case
law
update
and
I'm
going
to
do
some
research
to
find
some
interesting
happenings
that
have
come
down
from
the
court
or
unless
anyone
else
has
something.
You
know
some
burning
topic
they
really
want
to
hear
about.
I
could
research
that
instead
well,
if
anything
comes
to
mind,
always
email
me
or
call
me.
E
A
A
C
I
I
Any
opposed,
nay,
okay,
motion
carries
5-0
the
meeting.
The
meeting
minutes
are
adopted
and
yeah.
It's
just
a
point
of
procedural
order.
Why
don't
we
deal
with
this
request
for
the
extension
first?
So
I'm
assuming
you
are
miss
baker.
Do
you
want
to
just
come
up,
and
obviously
we
have
your
letter
already
just
come
say
anything
briefly.
You
want
to
add
and
just
try
to
use
the
microphone.
So
we
yeah.
F
So
my
husband
gamble
and
I
went
through
a
very
long
process
to
get
a
variance
to
build,
which
was
approved,
and
it's
it's
somewhat
of
a
for
us,
a
complicated
project.
First
thing
like
this:
we've
ever
done
and
just
getting
all
our
ducks
in
our
own
terms
of
financing.
There
were
some
holdups
with
covet
in
terms
of
financing
that
we
thought
we
had
in
place.
F
We
now
have
it
in
place,
we're
working
with
a
great
team
and
we're
confident
that
we're
going
to
be
able
to
submit
applications
for
permits
within
the
next
several
weeks
and
that
the
building
will
be
built
in
the
in
the
very
near
future.
So
we
are,
we
felt
like
it
moved
at
a
slower
pace
than
we
were
anticipating,
which
is
why
we
initially
thought
that
the
six
months
would
be
not
a
problem
turned
out.
F
A
I
H
H
I
E
I
I
C
J
J
J
I
H
J
J
J
J
J
J
Well,
for
two
reasons:
it's
there's,
you
know
the
part
of
this
proposal
is
the
need,
for
you
know
a
larger
bedroom
above
it
is
a
smaller
garage.
It's
not
it.
You
know
you
can
fit
two
cars
as
I
mentioned,
but
the
purpose
of
the
addition
as
well
is,
is
the
the
master
bedroom
suite,
which
is
a
pretty
critical
part
of
this.
So
yeah
I
mean.
K
My
name
is
raj
and
kumar,
so
my
my
wife
and
I
just
we
had
just
had
a
surprise,
a
new
horn,
one
year
old,
and
we
we
thought
this
would
be.
We
just
could
live
in
a
smaller
space.
So
this
the
reason
we
need
a
little
larger
garage
is
to
be
able
to
put
like
bicycles
in
there
as
well
to
sell
one
car
and
just
have
a
little
space
to
put
some
like.
I
don't
have
anywhere
to
put
a
snow,
blower
or
anything
shovels.
B
K
K
K
Okay,
so
when
I,
when
I
purchased
this
house
in
2019,
my
house
in
albany
was
still
on
the
market.
Okay,
so
I
did
it.
I
did
it
at
the
same
time,
but
the
house
is
sold
in
albany,
so
I'm
in
I'm
in
beacon,
full-time,
okay,
my
kids
all
go
to
school
here.
Everything
well,
most
of
them,
one
one's
a
newborn.
I
K
H
J
H
J
I
understand,
but
it
but
the
the
design
that
we're
trying
to
achieve
here-
and
you
know
it's
the
five
criteria
that
come
into
play.
For
this
I
mean
I
can
go
through
them,
but,
as
I
mentioned,
this
is
a
corner
lot.
So
it's!
If,
if
that's
the
side
of
the
house,
it
would
require
10
feet
that
the
variance
would
be
way
less.
I
I
One
says
in
substance,
maintain
the
front
yard
variance
or
the
front
yard
distance
on
both
sides
of
the
corner.
Both
sides
facing
the
street
and
then
also
says
that
the
one
of
the
sides
can
be
reduced
to
25
of
the
actual
width
and
then
overlaid
on
that
we
have
the
standard
about
drawing
two
25-foot
lines
from
the
corner
and
not
wanting
any
obstructions
that
are
above
three
and
a
half
feet.
I
There's
no
issue
here
with
that
corner
visibility
regulation
there
doesn't
seem
any
dispute
that
whether
this
variance
is
granted
or
not
or
to
what
degree
nothing's
going
to
interfere
with
that
regulatory
goal.
So
it's
really
just
the
question
of
addressing
20
versus
10
versus
eight
and
a
half
on
this
side
yard.
J
Yeah,
I
believe
you
know,
probably
sometime
in
the
early
part
of
january.
I
had
a
conversation
with
the
philly
inspector
and
with
there
was
that
stipulation
where
we
figured
out
a
percentage,
and
I
think
it
came
basically
to
the
20-foot
dimension,
which
so
we
raj
rajon,
and
I
talked
about
it
today
about
visibility.
We
you
know,
we
don't
want
to
create
a
problem
there
and
in
terms
of
the
traffic,
it's
it's
it's
back
far
enough.
J
Also,
the
sidewalk
in
that
neighborhood
even
stops
way
short
of
where
the
driveway
is
so
it's.
It
doesn't
have
an
adverse
effect
on
the
physical
part
of
the
neighborhood.
In
that
respect,
for
people
walking
on
sidewalks
it
doesn't.
The
sidewalk
does
not
continue
along
that
corner.
It
actually
stops
short
and
it's
indicated
on
the
site
plan.
J
I
H
C
J
J
It
cannot
be
solved
in
another
area
on
the
property.
We'd
have
the
same
issue
even
worse.
On
the
opposite
side
plus
we'd
have
to
create
a
driveway,
a
different
curb
cut.
So
that's
that
wouldn't
work
plus
there's
a
you
know.
If
you
looked
at
the
property
itself,
there's
you
know
in
the
back,
there's
a
deck
with
a
patio
area
and
a
pergola.
It's
it's
actually
tastefully
done
architecturally.
J
I
J
J
J
K
J
L
B
J
I
I
I
am
the
owner
of
24
victor
road
and
in
looking
at
the
plans,
provided
I
have
no
objections.
I
do
not
see
that
it
will
obstruct
any
neighborhood
properties
or
anything.
I
totally
support
it.
Please,
please
feel
free
to
reach
out
if
you
need
anything
further
and
the
second
from
I
believe
it's
nasim
ayub
at
three
iris
circle,
so
next
door.
We
do
not
object
to
the
addition
planned
by
rajan
kumar,
and
I
think
that
victor
road
address
is
also
a
jason.
K
I
G
K
I'm
sorry
I
I
I
made
it.
I
made
it
a
number
one
priority
to
become
friends
with
as
many
neighbors
as
possible,
because
I'm
new
to
beacon-
and
I
plan
to
stay
here
and
we
really
want
to
stay
in
beacon.
The
house
right
now
just
is
not
big
large
enough
for
me
to
handle
my
family,
and
so
this
is.
This
really
means
a
lot
to
me.
It's
one
so.
I
Look,
this
is
just
I'm
just
throwing
this
out
there,
it's
a
good,
a
confession
and
a
suggestion.
The
confession.
Just
being
I
never
went
and
looked
at
this
property.
I
opened
up
the
envelope
a
week
and
a
half
ago
and
was
like
okay.
Well
looks
like
I
understand,
what's
going
on,
the
suggestion
would
be.
C
C
Who's
gonna
get
the
biggest
that's
who's.
Gonna,
that's
who's
gonna
be
affected
by
this
yeah
that
person
and
the
sight
line
and
everything
is
gonna,
be
you
know
it's
gonna
look
completely
different
coming
up
victor,
then
you
know
you
you're
supposed
to
have
a
nice
big
corner
lot.
That's
the
way
it's
supposed
to
look
so
when
you're
taking
most
of
that
away,
making
it
into
a
very
small.
C
K
K
M
All
due
respect
to
the
board
members,
I
don't
feel
that
it's
fair
to
the
applicant
that
that
we
get
to
this
point
having
a
meeting
and
having
the
applicant
here
and
have
board
members
say
that
they
haven't
visited
the
site
for
this
application
and
then
to
adjourn
it
to
visit
the
site.
I
don't
think
is
fair
to
the
applicant.
The
board
members
have
plenty
of
time
to
go
and
visit
the
site
in
advance,
so
I
don't
think
that
that's
fair
at
all
for
the
applicant.
L
C
D
L
E
E
I
think
that
the
neighborhood
in
this
particular
house
comports
to
that
zoning-
and
that
was
the
intention
of
the
people
who
zoned
and
rezoned
and
rezoned
and
rezoned
the
city,
and
they
didn't
make
any
changes
to
that,
and
I
don't
the
applicant
hasn't
indicated
that
there
are
any
other
houses
in
the
neighborhood
that
they're
aware
of
anyway
that
have
variances.
That.
C
J
L
B
B
B
K
B
K
K
Like
it's
same
same
they're,
just
they're,
tiny,
tiny
bedrooms-
I
I
believe
me,
I
don't
I'm
not
I'm
not
out
looking
to
spend
money.
I
don't
have
I'm
just
trying
to
make
it
a
home,
that's
usable
and
right
now
it's
just
not
practical.
With
this
with
my
family,
and
so
I
I
completely
hear
you
like,
I
would
do
nothing
ex.
I
I've
been
trying
to
make
that
property.
Look
nicer
and
nicer
the
minute
I
I
I
set
foot
on
it.
I've
made
some
mistakes.
K
H
So
I
heard
you
say
you
want
to
create
a
master
bedroom
and
you
want
to
create
a
two-car
garage.
So
this
way
you
have
room
for
a
tractor
and
all
that,
but
you
could
achieve
that
by
putting
in
instead
of
a
back
entrance
drive
into
the
garage
a
side
entrance.
You
can
achieve
a
two-car
garage
and
not
require
variance,
because
you'll
have
the
curb
cut
there.
Already,
there's
no
careful
there.
No
so.
J
First
of
all,
it
would
actually
create
a
traffic
situation.
I
think,
to
have
to
back
out
onto
that
road,
not
that
it's
a
real
busy
road,
but
this
is
definitely
a
better
layout
and
also
it
just
it.
This
reduces
the
amount
of
pervious
as
well,
so
it's
just
to
to
to
back
out
onto
victor
road.
It's
I
I
don't
not
to
mention
you
can't
park
a
car
in
front
of
it.
If
you
did
that,
you
know
not,
you
don't
always
put
your
vehicle
in
the
garage.
A
A
Thinking
about
this
very
intensely,
and
you
were
asking
the
right
questions
and
evaluating
it
properly
on
the
five
factor
test,
and
we
can
continue
to
have
that
discussion.
I
absolutely
respect
what
dave
said.
A
lot
of
work
has
gone
into
getting
the
applicant
to
this
point,
but
if
the
board
does
feel
that
there's
a
benefit
to
taking
another
look
at
the
property,
especially
understanding,
you
know
its
place
as
a
corner
lot
and
looking
at
the
community
as
a
whole.
A
With
respect
to
corner
lots,
you
can
do
that
and
you
know
maybe
even
contacting
the
applicant
to
get.
You
know
a
look
at
possible.
You
know
why
isn't
the
backyard
an
alternative?
You
know
maybe
seeing
that
that
would
be
up
to
him
it's
his
private
property.
I
don't
want
to
invite
anyone
to
anybody's
property,
but
I
don't
want
to
don't
want
the
board
to
think
that
you
are
forced
to
make
a
decision.
A
C
C
C
K
C
C
I
On
the
record
yeah,
this
is
as
far
as
just
throwing
honest
opinions
out
there
one
one
of
the
reasons
this
is
difficult
for
me
is,
on
the
one
hand,
there
are
a
number
of
non-conforming
corner
lots,
including
the
house
I
own,
in
the
city
of
beacon
and
compared
to
a
lot
of
those.
You
basically
look
at
this
and
go.
Who
really
cares
at
the
same
time?
K
Yeah
I
appreciate
that
objectivity.
I
I
I
would
agree
too,
because
the
minute
I
I
got
that
home
the
number
my
number
one
goal
was
to
make
it
so
it
wasn't
an
eyesore
in
that
development
and-
and
I
went
I
went
to
the
you
know-
I
went
to
the
drawing
boards.
I
just
wanted
to
make
it
look
like
a
nicer
home
that
you
know
in
the
neighborhood,
when
I
got
it
just
looking
like
a
yellow
blob.
K
K
C
K
K
L
J
J
C
K
C
C
K
K
K
I
just.
I
just
want
to
be
able
to
have
a
place
to
be
able
to
put
bicycles
and
a
snowmobile
or
not
snowmobile
a
snowblower.
I
can't
afford
a
snowmobile
and
have
additional
space
to
be
able
to
have
my
mom
come
to
the
home
to
visit.
We
can't
even
have
it's
just
it's
just
not
if
you
saw
it,
you
guys
will
welcome,
come
look
at
it.

I
I
I
J
J
E
G
E
Today
would
have
an
adverse
impact
on
the
physical
or
environmental
conditions.
I
think
there's
a
distinction
between
that
and
and
the
first
factor,
which
is
character,
which
I
think
is
a
different,
obviously
there's
a
difference
because
there's
two
there's
two
factors.
I
I
don't
know
if
they're
necessarily
be
an
adverse
effect
or
impact.
L
L
E
I
I
H
B
E
E
B
I
C
I
don't
think
it
should
be
left
up
to
the
applicant
to
say
whether
we
should.
I
think
I
think
that
the
people
on
the
board,
myself
included,
feel
that
it
would
be
best
if
we
looked
further
into
this
saw
what
other
corner
properties
there.
Are
there
really
give
it
really
give
it
a
good,
a
good
think.
Maybe
you
could
give
it
a
think
and
think,
if
maybe
you
can
make
it
a
little
bit
less
substantial.
C
L
J
B
H
H
C
A
You
would
like
to
go
see
the
property
as
a
group
and
observe
you
just
cannot
be
talking
about
the
five
factors.
If
you
choose
to
do
that,
that
way,
you
can
coordinate
with
the
homeowner
and
he
can
maybe
give
you
a
tour
of
his
property,
or
at
least
just
know
that
you're
all
instead
of
five
of
you
coming
at
five
different
times,
it
might
be
good
to
do
that
or
you
can
all
just
reach
out
and
or
or
not
reach
out
and
just
do
drive-bys
by
yourself.
