o Sullivan described discrepancy between architecturals and engineering plans—in original drawings, driveways
were right in front of units—moved each outer space to outside end of units and put 2 spaces together in middle
of units. Sullivan met with Modzelewski within past 2 weeks who seemed to understand the need for change
due to the porches but told Sullivan it was up to Planning Board to resolve ambiguities.
o Also want to make porches with patios smaller and porches without patios larger. At his meeting with Sullivan,
Modzelewski noted that the closest point to property line in approved plans was 8.3 ft. and suggested
maintaining that 8.3 ft. to keep this as a minor modification. Landscaping is a little different than approved
plans—added additional plantings.
Board wants John Modzelewski to advise about the modifications requested.
