PUBLIC HEARING:
1. Request for variance for property located at 125 W. Lambert Lane
Chairman Fields swore in the applicant, Dr. Bernard M. Chaudoir.
Dr. Chaudoir said he was not aware of the need for a variance until he was
notified by the Town. Dr. Chaudoir stated that if the porch was removed, it would
reduce the home value and cause a financial hardship. He mentioned that the
property was unique in shape and the porch did not affect the neighbors.
Member Zinkin asked if he was given a disclosure statement when the home was
purchased. Dr. Chaudoir said he did not recall.

responded that the Town attempted to notify the previous owner, but the
notice was returned as undeliverable.
Chairman Fields opened and closed the public hearing with no speakers.
Dr. Chaudoir added that the Planning Division said there was a permit on file for
the pool. Dr. Chaudoir gave the Board a letter from his neighbor supporting the
variance.
MOTION: A motion was made by Vice-Chair Parisi and seconded by Member
Zinkin to approve the variance of OV1011-07.
