The room will be 15’x20’ (300 sq. ft.). There will be 3 sets of double hung windows, north, east, and south with a sliding door on the north side opening onto the existing deck.

The EPB had questions regarding the drawing presented. Suzanne Perley stated that the drawings were not accurate. Don Hollingsworth said that the elevations would be close and suggested getting architectural drawings. If the permit was written on what was presented, it would be binding and the only way Mr. Schmitt would be able to change it would be to come back before the planning board. Mr. Schmitt said there was still time and he would give more consideration to the project, get the drawings and come back at a later date.

Richard Wright Site Plan Review: to tear down and replace the west wing of his camp located on Lakeshore Road. No one was present representing Mr. Wright, therefore, no discussion took place.

Christine Herrman (Sandy Point of Essex LTD) Special Use Permit: for a shoreline retaining wall located on 16-20 Sandy Point Way in the Town and County of Essex. A letter has been received giving James Morse authorization to represent the project.

The project will consist of the excavating and construction of a concrete wall. The height of the wall will be 6 feet. The length of the wall will be a total of 215’. The elevation of the wall is 102’ at sea level. The one-foot thick wall will be back filled to the top with existing limestone. It will not be visible from the lake. The project is to stop erosion of the lawn.

EPB will need a ruling from the APA and DEC.

A motion was made by Don Hollingsworth and seconded by Nick Muller to declare the application complete. The motion carried with board members voting as follows:
Harold MacDougal, Yes
Joan Stephan, Absent
