2026-10-07 - Development Review Board
Summary
Based on the approved minutes and auto-captions; names and figures may be misheard. The minutes and the captions give different setback figures for the Loomis Hill request (22 ft in the minutes; an increase from 29 ft to 38 ft in the captions), so treat the numbers as unsettled.
- Opened 6:30 PM and adjourned 7:18 PM; five board members present, one application.
- Minutes of 2026-09-16 approved 4-0-1.
- Case 035-26, Loomis Hill Rd barn (amended request, later numbered 064-26): the applicant asked to change a previously approved front-yard setback waiver and raise the barn height from 19 to 25 ft for a 1,080 square foot barn with an attached woodshed. A new survey showed the earlier plan did not fit because of the roof eaves and side-yard constraints.
- Board members were uncomfortable with a larger front-yard encroachment and asked for a survey-based plan showing distances to the property lines and building corners. They suggested holding the previously approved front setback and, if needed, seeking a side-yard waiver, and advised the applicant to talk with the neighbor.
- No decision or vote; continued to 2026-10-21 with revised plans due to staff beforehand. See Loomis Hill Road Barn Setback Waiver.

02:13>> It depends on. [clears throat]
02:15[laughter]
02:20>> All right. Um, do we have their um
02:24letters and the mailing notifications?
02:28>> We should have it here. I've shared the
02:30screen. It should be in the exhibits.
02:33Exhibit F is the letter to the letter.
02:40Okay, there we go.
02:41>> Yep. [laughter]
02:44>> All right. Excellent.
02:48I'll turn it over to you guys to uh
02:50explain why we're here this evening.
02:52>> Well, first I want to say thank you for
02:53the last time. It was a very happy
02:55occasion, but uh unfortunately kind of
02:58shortlived. We were supposed to um get
03:01started pretty much right away after
03:03that meeting that we had waited for 14
03:05days, but unfortunately the contract
03:07that we were going to use became very
03:10ill and was not able to proceed with the
03:12job. So I was fortunate enough to call
03:16my friend Mike here uh who I've done
03:18lots of work with when I lived in Stow
03:20at the Village Green and he was you know
03:24receptive to coming and taking a look at
03:26the project. Um we've always been happy
03:29within myself and Stacy. We did a lot of
03:31work at her place also when she lived on
03:34um Maple Street. So unfortunately when
03:38uh Mike came in, well fortunately enough
03:40Mike came in, he brought the excavation
03:42crew and the guys who are going to do
03:44the foundation and they said, you know,
03:46we we like the project. There's
03:49definitely some, you know, things we
03:50have to discuss as far as drainage and
03:52whatnot, but we really before we um
03:55proceed, we'd like you to get a survey.
03:58They first asked if I had a survey. I
04:00said, "No, I I didn't survey the
04:01property." We did. We thought, you know,
04:03we were all good to go and we looked
04:06like, you know, everything was going to
04:08work out as far as what we were looking
04:09for. Unfortunately,
04:12um or fortunately when we did the survey
04:14then we realized that we did not have
04:16the requirements that we needed. Um we
04:19were much closer to the neighbor's house
04:23um uh tech house, our neighbor than we
04:27thought that we were. So that was good
04:29to find out. And then um when we saw the
04:33buildable envelope and we now try to put
04:37in this configuration, we were like this
04:39is just not going to work.
04:41Unfortunately, part of the addition that
04:44we're looking for is we didn't realize
04:48um I'm not a builder. Stacy's not a
04:49builder. So we didn't really realize
04:51that when [clears throat] we looked at
04:52our foundation of what we needed that we
04:56had roof eaves and roof eaves counted.
04:59So that was part of the things that
05:01kicks out the front portion of the barn.
05:05So because we're kind of at like the
05:08front, we really need like four feet and
05:10it kind of extends to like 9 ft towards
05:13the back because [clears throat] of roof
05:16eaves and then the way we had to
05:17position this house because we were
05:19literally up against the neighbor set
05:22back. So we are, you know, respectfully,
05:27um, not asking for more building,
05:31>> you know, we're building the same
05:32building technically, but we have to
05:35add, um, roof eaves and just the way we
05:38have to turbo building. deal. And we are
05:42also requesting that we went from a 19
05:45ft ceiling to a 25- ft ceiling because
05:48when we did this originally, again, not
05:52being the builder, did not realize that.
05:55Obviously, we need a roof pitch and we
05:58didn't add anything for the roof pitch.
05:59So, that's where we went from the 19 to
06:01add now um 6T for a roof pitch shed of
06:06smell.
06:09Yep.
06:12All right. Um,
06:16so just [clears throat] so we're clear
06:17because I'm looking comparing the last
06:19application to this one.
06:22Previous application, you had a
06:24footprint of 32 by 28.
06:27>> Correct.
06:29Looking at the road, 32 deep, 28 wide,
06:33and this one is now
06:3836 deep and
06:4230 wide,
06:43>> right?
06:43>> So, your footprint increased.
06:46>> That's including the overhangs. That was
06:48the overhangs were not.
06:50>> So, your footprint hasn't increased, but
06:51now your your overhangs,
06:53>> right? Which which we were told that,
06:55you know, that goes into part of the
06:58areas,
06:59>> right?
07:01>> And that would have been included in the
07:02first application. They knew
07:04>> what what are your eaves?
07:06>> Two foot
07:09>> and the rates are the same.
07:11>> Yes. All around the rates are two foot.
07:13>> Yeah, that may change. It'll it would be
07:16less than that if anything, but we
07:18figure on the two because we may do some
07:20bracketing, some architectural.
07:23>> Um.
07:25>> All right. So
07:27you've come due to the eve you've come 2
07:31feet closer to the road
07:34but your [clears throat]
07:35setback waiver is increasing by 9 ft.
07:38>> Yeah.
07:39>> Where's
07:41where's that additional 7 ft coming
07:43from?
07:44>> Unfortunately it's kind of the way the
07:46property hits the neighbor's house and
07:49from the corner of our existing home.
07:53it. We have to turn
07:56the barn cons in a considerable
07:59direction to kind of make that match up.
08:02So that's why it kind of kicks out on
08:05the back end.
08:05>> It gets wider on the back side.
08:13[clears throat]
08:13>> So we had granted a 29 ft waiver. You
08:18were going to be 31 ft in, right?
08:23and greater than 60 ft from the side the
08:26side lot line towards your neighbor.
08:28>> Yes.
08:30>> Now you're going to be
08:33it looks like it's due to the curvature
08:34of the road your property line
08:38the back end where we have to go out
08:40more.
08:41>> So we measure from the same point road
08:4427 in 33.
08:47>> So there's still
08:50even even Just looking at the front
08:52corner and it's [clears throat]
08:54straight. There's still an additional
08:55two feet in there.
09:00>> I understand.
09:00>> So in the original application
09:03>> on the front from the building corner,
09:04you measured out 31 ft to the front.
09:08>> He said he had
09:11>> and latest application you now launch
09:1733 feet from that same point. I think
09:20one of the things though that
09:21>> there was two feet. I could see that,
09:22but there's more space in there that
09:24>> I'm not sure how
09:26to see this area.
09:28>> Yeah.
09:29>> Um,
09:30>> yeah. Did you include that in the
09:32original packet?
09:33>> No, it's just an overhead
09:38stat.
09:39>> Yeah.
09:41Um,
09:42I guess I'm just trying to understand,
09:44>> right,
09:44>> with why you've got more than enough
09:47room on the sideyard
09:49to you can go along the road to the
09:53right. You've got plenty of space there.
09:56>> Why you couldn't just push it 2 feet
09:59into the property?
10:01We are literally right now, you know,
10:04from from the corner of our building, we
10:08originally had what we thought was a lot
10:10we thought we had a lot more space. We
10:12thought actually we had like many many
10:14feet, you know, clearance to our
10:17neighbor's house, which we don't. We are
10:20literally right at that point where we
10:22have to put this. And now, especially
10:24with the Yeah, the back [clears throat]
10:27>> back left corner.
10:28>> Yeah, the back left corner right on it.
10:31So, and then with the eve, it pushes
10:34that, you know, closer to the house. And
10:36then on the side of the house, we have
10:38like three-foot eaves on our existing
10:41house. So, it's literally like, you
10:42know, we get like very close
10:45to, you know, the the house portion.
10:50So, are you right up against the 50ft
10:53sideyard setback
10:54>> to the neighbor?
10:55>> Yeah. Is that where you're at? standing
10:58at the street looking at your to the
11:00right
11:02>> on the one corner back right on that
11:05>> back corner. We are we are there.
11:07>> Okay.
11:07>> So, we strung the lines out for that.
11:09>> That's right.
11:10>> I'm just all I have to go by.
11:14>> Yes. So, that that's right on the line
11:16there. A corner of the structure.
11:18>> Yeah.
11:19>> Yeah. So, the way it kind of tilts in
11:22like I'm saying, and then the way the
11:24curves, that's kind of why it kicks out
11:27on that back corner
11:29>> more. We we originally did not have what
11:31we needed to. So, it wasn't just the
11:34fact that, you know, we've added these.
11:36>> We did not have what we needed
11:38>> information originally because we didn't
11:41do
11:42>> we have this discussion all the time.
11:44Grant waiverss and we don't have
11:45property.
11:46>> Yeah, that's 100% my fault. Well, no.
11:50>> And I'm I'm glad I'm glad that Mike came
11:52in and you know the guys do that because
11:55you know not looking to have a problem
11:57in the future,
11:59>> right? The last thing you want to do is
12:00build on the neighbor's property or the
12:03setback,
12:03>> right? And and unfortunately we we would
12:06have
12:07>> I mean now's the cheapest time to
12:10>> Yeah.
12:11>> Yeah. So again, like I'm saying, I'm
12:13really not looking to increase anything
12:16that I've asked as far as the structure
12:18itself. It's just it it didn't fit from
12:23the get- go.
12:29Right. [clears throat]
12:30>> And also to just be known too that the
12:33slab level of that garage
12:36in in accordance to the road height were
12:38probably as for the overall structure
12:41height. We're good six to seven feet
12:43below the level of
12:45>> Yeah, those lots are all
12:47>> Yeah, they're down.
12:48>> That's the new height you're asking for.
12:50>> Uh yeah, I mean as far as for the floor
12:52level. So we're we're way down below. I
12:54mean the real thing that
12:57>> um
12:57>> that's that's why that's why again when
12:59we when we proposed this [clears throat]
13:02not being a builder I didn't really
13:03think about it and
13:05>> so you're but you're proposing a a total
13:07height an average height of 25 ft
13:10>> right
13:11>> right to the roof
13:12>> is that 25 ft to the ridge okay
13:15>> yeah I think before like saying I
13:17>> that's still 10 ft below the maximum
13:19allowed
13:19>> right
13:20>> yeah I think before I would have end up
13:23>> we would had much enough for the pitch
13:25on the roof to
13:26>> No or any
13:29>> Yeah. or anything else.
13:30>> Yeah. I I you know I came here the last
13:33time and I you know I had just bad bad
13:35information and I didn't know I
13:37apologize for having to come back and
13:39you know waste your time honestly.
13:41>> No I you know
13:43>> rather get be correct.
13:46>> Yeah. Yeah.
13:48us too. I know.
13:48>> Just got to make sure that the
13:49information that's presented makes sense
13:52with the
13:57>> So, you got a survey done now, but that
13:59wasn't submitted with part of the
14:01application.
14:03>> No, we don't have a survey done. We had
14:06it surveyed on the property to have them
14:08put the lines properly set back lines.
14:11>> So, we knew how to position the garage
14:13and found out that it wasn't working.
14:15>> Yeah. The envelope. He [clears throat]
14:16just I just made a buildable envelope
14:18for ice.
14:24>> Well, [clears throat]
14:25um,
14:26>> what did we have to do again?
14:29>> Martin Day.
14:31>> So, we're
14:33distance from the edge of the pavement
14:35to the foundation is the same as
14:38originally proposed.
14:41Exclude the ease.
14:47No,
14:47>> I don't. Yeah. Okay. That's
14:49>> I don't see.
14:50>> Yeah, I'm going to say no because like
14:51I'm saying
14:52>> once we saw the envelope that we were
14:55permitted, we as I said before we even
14:57added E, we were like doesn't work.
14:59>> The edge of pavement is a fixed
15:01location,
15:02>> right?
15:02>> Irrelevant to where the property line is
15:04and the setbacks are
15:06>> from the edge of from the edge of the
15:08pavement.
15:08>> Yeah. to
15:11where you had previously proposed it
15:15is still the same distance.
15:18>> No, because then we're looking for a
15:20location change.
15:22>> Okay, that's that's
15:23>> that's exactly what it is.
15:25>> Well, that's what you have that's what
15:26you haven't said. The structure you have
15:29said we're in the same spot we're here
15:30because our eaves are bigger.
15:32>> Yeah, you know, you're right on what
15:34you're saying. No, the actual structure
15:35size has not changed. It's the location.
15:38So, we have ease and your change in
15:40location. Okay. That's
15:42>> when I kept talking about there's that
15:44missing there. Math isn't adding up,
15:46>> right?
15:46>> That's where I was getting lost, right?
15:48>> Yes. Okay. No, I understand.
15:49>> Yeah, we we definitely had to.
15:52>> Yes.
15:53>> So, you are actually closer to the edge
15:55of pavement.
15:56>> Yes.
15:57>> Than you were previously.
15:58>> Yes. Okay. Yes.
16:02>> Is that a good answer or a bad one? I
16:03don't know. It is answer if it's the
16:07answer.
16:08>> Yes.
16:09>> Yeah.
16:10>> Okay. I just everybody
16:12>> because I wasn't understanding how the
16:13numbers were coming [clears throat] out.
16:15>> I did. That's what I was going to ask.
16:16>> Yeah. Okay. Sorry, Harry.
16:19>> Um, can you
16:26>> There's a rendition of it. Yeah. So,
16:29>> that's not exactly what you're doing.
16:30>> Yeah. I think that's I think that's what
16:33I want to drill into here. So, is this
16:35what you're building?
16:36>> Yes, close.
16:37>> Cuz I saw Well, close. Cuz I saw
16:39something about that. This is just AI
16:41generated and maybe not what we're
16:43doing.
16:43>> Well, it it is AI generated. Yeah. But
16:47>> is that what you're going to build?
16:48>> Yes.
16:50>> It's going to look like that. Very close
16:51to that. Yes.
16:53>> There there's no design review here. So,
16:55we can look at the height and we can
16:56look at the
16:57>> I mean, basically the sketch submitted
16:58last time. You got some make on this
17:01this wing right here. What is it going
17:03to look like from the road?
17:06>> You're going to see no windows or
17:08anything.
17:09>> Yeah, mostly won't see windows on that
17:11other side.
17:12>> It'll be a wall. [clears throat]
17:17>> We have nothing. The windows
17:20>> that's not in the design. The windows
17:23would be on the back side.
17:24>> The windows
17:25>> and then the windows the windows are
17:26facing the mountain. Y
17:29>> those windows there are facing the
17:30mountain.
17:31>> So those windows are going to be done
17:34going there. But on the other side
17:36there's no there's no dormers. There's
17:37nothing there on the road side.
17:44>> I guess the the notion that there's a
17:47note on the application material that
17:49says this is just like any other
17:50generated thing but maybe not what we're
17:52building.
17:54>> It's very close. I mean, we we're trying
17:56to build a quintessential, you know,
17:58Vermont bread barn with, you know,
18:02>> that doesn't
18:07>> Well, what started you
18:11>> came in with basically no information,
18:13>> but but it looked like the you from the
18:15roadside, you're going to see a lot more
18:16of the roof and a lot less wall.
18:19>> You're going to see all roof.
18:20>> Yeah.
18:21>> From the road.
18:22>> From the road. Yeah. Correct.
18:28You're coming up that format. It's
18:31closer closer closer to the road, right?
18:33>> Yes.
18:35>> Yes.
18:37>> Which is probably a good thing as far as
18:39visibility of that side.
18:44Well, it's also on the plowing side of
18:46that road.
18:52kind of where I'm at is
18:55the ease. If that was an oversight, you
18:57need the two feet for that. That doesn't
18:59bother me at all.
19:01>> The fact that the foundation is closer
19:02to the road, I would rather be granting
19:06you a waiver on the sideyard setback
19:09than getting you closer to the road.
19:13>> You're saying the the neighbor side?
19:14Yes. Is that what you're saying?
19:16>> Yes.
19:16>> This shot this way back. Yes, that's
19:20just my opinion or
19:22>> I know how everybody feels about
19:24>> I don't have an opinion that's something
19:25that I
19:29>> I didn't really even contemplate that
19:32being an option. You know, I I just
19:35assume that I didn't want to interfere
19:38with my neighbor. Not to say I'm
19:40interfering with other, you know, other
19:43worldwide neighbors of the street. Um,
19:46you know, I didn't really I tried to
19:48stay, you know, out of her situation
19:50because I figured if I'm asking for one
19:51side, I didn't really feel like I should
19:53be asking for another side.
19:55>> I'm I'm just giving you my right
19:58thoughts on the process, right? Rest of
20:00the board.
20:02trying what they think.
20:07Okay.
20:09Um,
20:13no. My question's been answered.
20:17Um,
20:20and I understand why you're turning it
20:22because of the road and the setback
20:24because the law changes as it comes down
20:27towards the road. Actually
20:33the side that's closer to the setback
20:35that's closer to the setback
20:38as it gets wider you've got about 9 ft
20:41towards the back which is getting hidden
20:43more because the street is rising at
20:45that point the road is rising so the
20:47wider point the road is higher actually
20:51>> right
20:53towards your neighbor
20:54>> for visibility. Yes. Yeah.
21:02any more questions there. I think
21:06well I agree with Dave. I mean when I
21:08think back in the past when things have
21:10come before us for waiverss on the
21:13setbacks generally we've pretty much
21:16covered ground on the front yard
21:18setbacks and you know we been more lead
21:21on the sides and tend to agree with
21:24that. The other thing was you said your
21:26excavator was having issues with how the
21:29grading was going to occur and well see
21:32there is a wetlands back there and I
21:34just wondered how that affected
21:37>> and uh we were since they client doesn't
21:40have any history there what what the
21:42winters are like or what the snow
21:43finally is and the melt off or anything
21:45and it's close to that area um we were
21:49proposing that there will be some kind
21:50of a swale that needs to be done to
21:52direct the snow the water or melt off or
21:55anything or even anything that comes off
21:56that plow side of that road, it's going
21:58to come directly onto that barn. So,
22:00when we're saying about a little bit of
22:02a culvert, it's just a cuffing of the
22:05right and get it around it, which is if
22:07we push that barn back farther, we're
22:09going to have to come farther back
22:11behind that to create a swale to get
22:13that water to get around it because
22:15[clears throat] there was even no
22:16consideration at all for him for his
22:18winter plowing period. And now that
22:20structure is there, he's going to have
22:22to plow everything to the right side of
22:24it if you're facing the door. And that's
22:26going to cause a lot of elbow across the
22:28road. So that's where we're going to
22:30come around back and just
22:32>> you're making the case for holding it
22:34where we approved it and
22:37>> well
22:37>> pushing it into the sideyard set back a
22:39little bit.
22:39>> Yes. No, you know, uh,
22:41>> cuz you're you're what you're saying is
22:45you could use some more space between
22:47there and the road for grading.
22:50>> I think what if for what we're proposing
22:52right now, I think we have enough room
22:54to make a little bit of a a cuffing and
22:56slight swale to get it to the back. We
22:59won't have to go too far. But I'm just
23:00saying if you're saying to push it back
23:02farther.
23:03>> Well, I mean,
23:04>> right.
23:04>> So to how much push it back into the
23:06lot?
23:08>> How much are we talking? four feet back
23:11back to where we originally approved it.
23:14>> As I saying, you could ignore the
23:15overhang.
23:16>> Personally, I don't have an issue with
23:18with that.
23:19>> Push the foundation back to where we
23:22originally approved it and it's going to
23:24push that back corner into that sideyard
23:27set back to the neighbors.
23:30Now you've given yourself more space for
23:32your drainage, for snow storage, for
23:34plowing around the side of it,
23:37>> and you're not encroaching up against
23:39the road any farther.
23:41>> Mhm.
23:42>> You know,
23:45>> I just wonder if there's obviously some
23:47state wetland regulations of
23:49>> I think the wetland's over that bank in
23:51the back of the house,
23:52>> so it's probably not
23:53>> I don't think so.
23:54>> It's in the field.
23:55>> Yeah, it's in the field in the bank.
23:56>> Yeah. No, I don't think it's in the area
23:58talking about
24:13>> No. I I'm just concerned that we're we
24:16don't have anything that actually shows
24:18where we're going to end up here on a
24:20plan.
24:24>> Well, either we're going to
24:27approve it. They've proposed it or we're
24:28going to ask them to look at it again
24:30and see if they can push it back and
24:33[clears throat]
24:33yeah, you know, talk about a side
24:35setback.
24:36>> Well, that's all I have.
24:39Gross.
24:40>> Sure. Just for the record, guys. Looks
24:43like your proposed side set back here is
24:4660 plus feet and the requirement is 50
24:49ft. So, you do have at least 10 ft to
24:52work with as the side setback. and the
24:56proposed
24:58184 square feet [clears throat] of
25:02um additional
25:05square footage.
25:07>> That's all
25:08>> 100%.
25:09>> Slab hasn't changed. Yeah.
25:15>> And it might not even go to two feet.
25:19>> No less than a foot.
25:22>> Okay.
25:24Um I'm I'm concerned a little bit with
25:27precedent that this board is setting
25:30here granting such a massive waiver. The
25:34front said that 60 ft rule is a
25:37requirement that I didn't make but
25:40somebody did make it for good reason.
25:42And a 38 foot encroachment more than 50%
25:47of that setback is a lot. That's this is
25:51the biggest setback wherever I've been a
25:53a part of on this board in two years and
25:58uh and that's just for the record.
26:01Thanks. That's all I
26:05do. You have any questions as staff?
26:08>> I do not
26:12>> on this one. Cheryl, put it all.
26:15>> Yeah. No, just [laughter] it's just it's
26:18just part of our
26:19>> town.
26:22[laughter]
26:24Just just trying to keep on good side.
26:26>> We'll let her know.
26:29>> Um
26:31so board members, what's what is the
26:34overall opinion? People [clears throat]
26:37fine with this or
26:40would you maybe inclined to look at a
26:43different scenario?
26:47I'm you know really I I go back to past
26:51and what we've granted and works is
26:54right
26:56accept that wins
27:00you know it's downhill it's they don't
27:03know there have been waiverss that have
27:05been larger but there have been existing
27:08structures that were already encroached
27:10that's right
27:10>> pre-existing to
27:13>> I'm just concerned something this could
27:15end up anywhere. I don't have in front
27:18of me says this is exactly where the
27:20structure is going to be.
27:23>> Well, it is something that we could have
27:25done and submit
27:28based on that.
27:30>> I think part of our problem in the rush
27:32is that, you know, we we're at the point
27:35where we lose the period to get this
27:37done.
27:38>> Well, get this the slab ended for a
27:40little bit, right? That's the point.
27:44That's one of our points
27:45>> and and we're sympathetic to that,
27:47>> right? And
27:48>> right,
27:49>> I also know that you are given the
27:50option to meet the existing setback and
27:53not have to do this at all.
27:54>> Absolutely.
27:55>> Absolutely.
27:56>> Meet the the waiver we previously
27:59granted,
28:00>> right? And we I definitely appreciate
28:01that. You know, I'm I'm I'm very
28:04thankful also for the fact that we did a
28:07survey because we would have came in and
28:08we would have pumped this thing down and
28:10been like, "Oh, we're good." when when I
28:12measured it, you know, I was just
28:14measuring from like the edge of the
28:16road, not so much the middle of the
28:18road. And you know, unfortunately,
28:20>> and that's why I brought up the relative
28:22to the edge of pavement, right? Because
28:24that's
28:25>> irrelevant to where [clears throat] your
28:25property line is, that's kind of a fixed
28:27point.
28:28You know, the only thing I can say from
28:30from that survey that we did which shows
28:33the buildable envelope, okay, which
28:36showed the 31 setbacks all around on the
28:39roadside
28:42just just to you know to confirm kind of
28:45like to say where it's going to be. It's
28:48going to just be outside that as we said
28:51it's about 4T in the front you know and
28:54it goes to as 9 ft towards the back. So
28:58it is within that area you know I'm not
29:02really and unfortunately [clears throat]
29:05for 2.1 acres there's really just no you
29:08know kind of where it is is where it is.
29:11There's no other place to really put
29:13this thing. So, it wouldn't really
29:14change, you know,
29:15>> which is why we granted
29:17>> 31
29:18didn't really change much. Yeah. And
29:20unfortunate for myself, I didn't, you
29:22know, I didn't think that any of this
29:23was an issue not knowing about, you
29:26know, the setbacks of the the eaves and
29:28all that stuff and the eaves,
29:29>> you know, in my opinion,
29:31>> right? You know, not that big.
29:33>> Not a big deal. Yeah. Right.
29:35>> Bringing the entire structure closer to
29:37the road. I have some concerns that
29:43but again I'm just buy
29:47but I think my biggest discomfort is I'm
29:49not sure what to believe right now
29:52because
29:54we're really not working a survey going
29:56here and now we're dealing with a curve
29:59in the road that might adjusted the
30:01setback and then I'm hearing that
30:05thought it was 200 ft to the sideyard
30:07and now I'm hearing that action
30:09one core of this thing might be right at
30:11the setback and what we're being shown
30:14in the application
30:15>> 200 is the other direction
30:16>> right 67 right that's what says slide 67
30:19but I think I heard that because of the
30:22angle that property was
30:2650 I think that's what I heard that
30:29right
30:31up against the sid set back too so it's
30:33not 67 it's 50 right so
30:38I think my ask is to see this thing
30:42botted out on the survey shows the
30:44actual dimensions that we're approving a
30:46waiver for because feels like
30:49>> go anywhere
30:52>> and we know how accurate these areas are
30:54>> right
30:56and this is more specific to this
31:00application but I think this experience
31:02is
31:04giving me a little thinking that we want
31:06to be thinking about actually having a
31:08survey versus working on a tax I'm
31:11asking for. Okay. All right.
31:15So that's my
31:18>> Is there anything then you could
31:20consider that we could possibly work
31:22with?
31:26>> I mean we appreciate what we've been
31:28given. We appreciate what we've been
31:30given already 100%. Yeah,
31:31>> I just unfortunately, you know, I I
31:34didn't have all the correct information
31:36when I came in the last time.
31:42>> If there's something that's maybe more
31:43workable, you know, maybe we can try and
31:45do that and as I said, try and save
31:48this.
31:48>> Well, either that works or we could
31:50produce the, you know, have the surveyor
31:53produce a site map with that place.
31:56>> I mean, you've got your lines flagged up
31:59there now. Yeah. Or states and stuff.
32:01Yeah.
32:01>> So, you can pull
32:04>> tape
32:05>> off of a building corner
32:07>> and and you can produce a sketch that
32:10way.
32:11>> Except we don't have a survey that has
32:13the exact building on it. But yes, we
32:15can draw.
32:16>> We could draw. Yes.
32:17>> But you've got flags in the field,
32:18>> right?
32:19>> You've got the house in the field.
32:20>> Mhm.
32:21>> You can
32:23>> you can do enough work with the tape to
32:26figure out exactly those distances.
32:28>> Exactly. Yeah. And
32:30>> but I would think maybe you would want a
32:32better survey, you know, something more
32:34professionally done. Who would, you
32:36know,
32:37>> the survey
32:38>> I personally I would be fine with if the
32:40ser if a professional surveyor has
32:42flagged
32:43>> right
32:43>> it in the field
32:44>> and you can pull tape
32:47>> you know and get all your dimensions
32:50from the the house to the front line
32:52house to the sideline
32:53>> and do enough work to figure out where
32:56that's going to fit. [clears throat]
32:58That's That's better than than that by
33:01far.
33:02>> And and look at Can you push it
33:07to the north? [clears throat] Looking at
33:09the building to the right.
33:10>> Yeah.
33:11>> And back a little bit and work with the
33:14front yard setback. We've already
33:15granted
33:18I don't know the red force field about
33:20granting a sideyard [clears throat]
33:21setback versus additional front yard
33:23setback.
33:27addition.
33:32Um, I just had a question on the So,
33:36when they surveyed that, was that the
33:38actual property line or did you just put
33:40flags where you your building was going
33:42to be?
33:44So, the property line on there is not
33:47accurate, but Right.
33:48>> Is that where you put the flags on the
33:50property?
33:51>> You put it on. We have the the property
33:54line. There's one at the top of the
33:56road. There's that post and then there's
33:59another one and then there's one.
34:01>> So that subdivision is new enough. There
34:02should be a
34:04>> accurate measurements that way.
34:06>> Yeah. [clears throat]
34:07>> You say there there should be an
34:09accurate map either from the wastewater
34:10division or from the town records here
34:13that shows your actually actual property
34:15line your pins.
34:16>> Yeah, I think he he flagged all that.
34:19>> Okay. So I have I have those markers and
34:23then I have you know what what I guess
34:25he measured from those points to that's
34:27how he established the envelope.
34:40>> You need four of us to say yes to get
34:41this approved.
34:42>> Yeah.
34:43>> So help me understand the 50 foot. I I
34:46[clears throat] heard that one corner of
34:49this new building will be at
34:52>> that's how it is right now
34:54back left corner.
34:55>> The back left corner. Yeah.
34:58>> 67 foot come in the application.
35:00[clears throat]
35:02>> Carry over from
35:05>> Yeah. It says 60 plus from this.
35:09>> Yeah, it does.
35:14>> Yeah. So thing we're ask we're asking
35:16for is a more accurate
35:17>> sketch.
35:30Yeah, I think it's I think it's one
35:32point is at 50.
35:35Just that one. And that's kind of it's
35:38kind of a kooky property the way Well,
35:40anyway. Yeah, you can see by how it's
35:42shaped it kind of in at an angle and
35:45>> yeah, it drops back in that one corner
35:47and then it dramatically goes out, you
35:51know. So, if we that's if we could move
35:53it up. I mean, we're only like just at
35:54that point and then the rest of it goes
35:56out, you know, I want to say well over
35:5967 to probably 80 ft 90 ft to the top
36:02corner, you know, but is, you know, I
36:06don't really explain. It's just the way
36:09the property is. And I guess when we
36:11when we did this, we really, you know,
36:13we had also been mowing lawn for like a
36:15long period of time and we're like,
36:17that's not even our lawn, you know. So,
36:19we talked to Tel and she was like, all
36:20right, yeah, we just cut it back in
36:22because we just thought that it went out
36:24considerably further from where it was
36:27and then we adjusted based on that.
36:29>> Is that to standing in the road? Is that
36:31to the left or the right you're talking
36:32about?
36:33>> Uh, you're standing in the road to the
36:35right. that house that you see whatever
36:36it says 147
36:37>> 147 only one
36:41>> I see those trees but
36:42>> we thought we had much you know much
36:44more area and you can see actually from
36:46that map like how it you know ditched
36:49out way more towards the front
36:54you thought it was kind of you know
36:56continuing on from basically if you went
36:58perpendicular from the house and we
37:00thought that that that piece went out
37:02much further
37:13So I guess you know I guess what I'm
37:15trying to humbly ask for then would be
37:18is there some thing that you can
37:20possibly grant us that we could try to
37:23make this work out? I know you've given
37:25a lot already 100%.
37:28But you know I guess you know my
37:30desperation
37:32is the fact of you know just up against
37:35a period of time where
37:39construction will stop or be unable to
37:42get get a foundation. We can't do
37:44anything without that.
37:47So if there's maybe a little bit of a
37:48consideration maybe we could still try
37:50to make this work. I can assure you we
37:53do want to do it.
37:54>> You have a permit so you can start
37:56grading, you can start clearing, you can
37:59>> you can start
38:02>> but obviously [clears throat] your
38:03concrete is
38:03>> without knowing where we're going.
38:05>> Yeah. You know your concrete is your
38:07Yes. is your critical path.
38:09>> Yes. Yes. Exactly.
38:11>> And that's why we're here wrong. You
38:13know,
38:14>> unfortunately at this point this board
38:16has three options.
38:19We can approve what you asked for. We
38:21can deny what you've asked for and
38:22you're stuck with what we previously
38:23approved.
38:24>> Yeah.
38:25>> Or we can continue to our next meeting
38:29and you come back with a more accurate
38:33plan and I'd like to see you hold the
38:37previously approved
38:39waiver and push it into the sideyard
38:42versus coming closer to the road. Again,
38:45I don't know how the rest of the board
38:46members feel about that.
38:48>> But you're saying you would grant the
38:49sideyard
38:50waiver. But
38:52>> I would be more comfortable granting a
38:53sideyard waiver versus additional
38:55>> front yard.
38:59>> Could we do that now?
39:02>> You don't have a plan that we
39:03>> Yeah.
39:04>> do that accurately [clears throat]
39:05enough.
39:07>> And I would also talk to your neighbor
39:09about that change. I guess you're only
39:12talking a couple feet in within 50 feet
39:15from their propert,
39:16>> right?
39:20So, I mean, you can stroll
39:21[clears throat] pull the board. You need
39:23four of us to say yes to approve it
39:27tonight,
39:30right?
39:32Well, it's not really I'm not really
39:33getting that vibe, but it's really the
39:36way the way that we're going here. So,
39:38again, not looking to, you know, piss
39:41anybody off. It's unfortunate.
39:43>> How does the board feel?
39:44>> It's just the way
39:45>> other poor people comfortable
39:46>> this way worked out unfortunately that
39:50>> I'm not comfortable.
39:51>> Okay.
39:52>> So,
39:55>> so I'm I'm Can you hear me or not?
39:58>> Yes.
39:59>> So, I'm not sure where there's as much
40:01of a lack of clarity as as it seems to
40:04be coming across. We paid $1,200. We had
40:07a formal survey. It's fully marked. So I
40:11I I'm just wondering if we're not
40:13accurately communicating um the
40:16information in order to create
40:18comfortableness
40:19with it with the process. So I I
40:23that's what I'm concerned about because
40:24we did do a full and proper survey.
40:27>> Yeah. I and and I think I think you've
40:30got that exact. There isn't anything in
40:32this package that fully reflects that.
40:36Well, we had worked closely with Cheryl
40:38and she didn't say, you know, she said,
40:41"Here's the package and we completed
40:43it." Yeah, we're noviceses. So, and we
40:44and I didn't get to say thank you myself
40:47because we are very appreciative that
40:48you heard this because we're really not
40:50wanting to lose a whole construction
40:52season over this and this would
40:54basically
40:56lose the construction season if we're if
40:58we're not able to go. And we we thought
41:00between the two uh requests that it was
41:02more benign to ask for the setback from
41:05the street than to try to ask for a
41:09setback from the neighbor because then
41:11we're encroaching on a on the on the
41:12neighbor's property. But we did
41:14responsibly do the survey and I just
41:17don't know if there's if we could not,
41:19you know, have Rob or Mike draw it out
41:21for you. So because I understand you
41:22don't want to prove something when
41:23you're like not exactly clear where it's
41:25going. But we are clear. We did, as I
41:27said, we spent $1,200 on a survey to be
41:30responsible. So, we know where it goes.
41:31I just think we haven't conveyed that.
41:34And I'd hate to like get denied and then
41:36have to wait for waiting a month to the
41:38next meeting means we're not going to do
41:40the project this year and then
41:41everything is very much more expensive
41:43and who knows who's available and so
41:45forth. So, it's it is a serious hardship
41:48for us. So, if there's a information
41:50that could be conveyed to make you feel
41:52more comfortable that we have, I'd want
41:54to make sure we're presenting it.
41:56And what we're asking for is a more
41:59accurate drawing that conveys that
42:02information.
42:03>> I I hear you and I agree with you
42:05because that makes a lot of sense. So is
42:06there not something Rob and Mike that
42:08you could because Rob you had drawings
42:10of this in order to show and convey so
42:14that they can understand because it's I
42:16think what I'm confused about we we
42:18definitely had a survey. There's pins in
42:20so we know the property lines. There's
42:21pins in the building envelope. We know
42:23the exact size that we're trying to
42:25build. So there there's not as much lack
42:28of clarity as it seems that we are
42:31conveying. So I think it's a lack of
42:32that we're not getting across that we do
42:35know we know exactly where it is where
42:37we'd like to put it and this and the set
42:39box and and and that was not just
42:42derived from you know wishful thinking
42:45was derived from the actual survey.
42:49So Rob, do you have anything that you
42:50can show them? Because if it seems
42:53obviously I can read the room as well
42:54that that there without better
42:57understanding where it is, nobody's
42:58comfortable approving it. But if we lose
43:00the month, we lose the project.
43:03>> Well, you won't lose a won't lose a
43:05month. Our next hearing is in two weeks.
43:10>> Right. The construction company though
43:11is only willing to pour up until the end
43:14of October because of the weather.
43:20Yeah,
43:22I'm sorry. I I unfortunately there's
43:25nothing we can do about that because we
43:27need to approve specific.
43:31>> Right. But I'm just saying I think we
43:32have the specific numbers and so if we
43:34can maybe slow this down before you vote
43:38on it. We have the numbers
43:40>> and and
43:43part of part of a couple board members
43:46concerns is that you are asking for it
43:49to bring the building closer to the road
43:55irrelevant of the overhang.
44:00So, I hear you saying that we could
44:03build what we were already approved to
44:05and still add the two feet of overhangs
44:07on either side and you'd be comfortable
44:09with that.
44:11>> I personally would be would be
44:13comfortable with that. Again, I'm one of
44:15five members present.
44:16>> We approved that before.
44:18>> Well, not with the Eve. Yeah. Not with
44:21>> didn't have the eaves. And I think one
44:22of the things also is because we're
44:24close to that back left corner that eve
44:27also, you know, kind of bumps it a
44:30little bit. So whereas, you know, that's
44:32kind of again whereas we need it more in
44:35that back right corner which and the
44:37road curves that way. So it's kind of
44:39like we got a bunch of stuff kind of
44:41working against us. So I guess the only
44:43thing I can say is hanger. Um,
44:47is there is there anything that we can
44:50or or do we specifically have to request
44:52or can we you know I'm not really saying
44:54like is this like a bargaining
44:55situation? Can you see that to do
44:59anything that maybe we can go back with
45:01our our pens and pencils and try and see
45:04if we could, you know, make this fit and
45:06still make this work to be totally
45:09transparent to say that these guys have
45:12a certain window that they're working
45:14till. Um it's kind of like if we don't
45:18guarantee, you know, they want to take
45:22another job, they don't want to say, hm,
45:24maybe this happens and then they don't
45:26have their last job of the year. So, you
45:29know, in an ideal world, you know, we'd
45:31be talking about this in June or July,
45:33you know, September, um when we're now
45:35at the point where we're just crushed
45:38by, you know, all these things. That's
45:39why I'm saying maybe there's some
45:41consideration we can try and make this
45:44make this work. Right now it's extremely
45:46tight to try and make it work.
45:48>> The property Yeah. And the property, as
45:51you can see, it's an awkward property.
45:52We have 2.1 acres and there's no logical
45:55place to put this barn of which we're
45:57going to spend a couple hundred,000
45:59making a beautiful Vermont barn. We need
46:01more Vermont barns, but there's not a
46:03lot of wiggle room. So if there's, as
46:06Rob said, if we can't do what we aspire
46:08to do, is there some reasonable
46:11reasonable thing we can do,
46:18>> but it's going to be a beautiful Vermont
46:19barn. It is not an eyesore [laughter] to
46:21the neighborhood.
46:22>> Beautiful. And and
46:25>> no one is nobody is doubting that.
46:27>> Yeah. But
46:28>> and we need more barns in Vermont and
46:30the property is is wonky. So I hear you.
46:32I hear you. it. Can we provide you a
46:34better picture?
46:35>> Our hands are kind of tied. So,
46:39>> can we not provide the better
46:41information?
46:42>> Concerned with the building being closer
46:44to the road.
46:46We granted you nearly a 50% setback
46:50waiver. We are concerned with the
46:52building being closer to the road than
46:54we approved because
46:58irrelevant to the ease. Let's just talk
47:00footprint relevant to the ease.
47:02foundation closer to the
47:05>> so we could have eaves we could have
47:07eaves
47:08>> match that number and if you need a
47:10waiver from the setback
47:12I don't know about the rest of the board
47:14but
47:15I think that's more palatable to us
47:19that is not what's presented
47:20[clears throat] to us right now we are
47:22not saying you have to reapply
47:25>> we just need to see
47:28something that matches [clears throat]
47:30closer to what
47:32We as far as the front yard setback is
47:34concerned
47:36>> based on what we have we can
47:38>> say that again
47:42>> we would like you to hold the front yard
47:44setback that was previously approved. If
47:46you need an additional setback waiverss
47:48in the side I believe that is more
47:50palatable to the board.
47:53I see a lot of nodding heads
47:54>> and regardless of the ordinance.
47:56regardless of the ordinance. Yes, that
47:58>> but it may not be palatable to our
48:00neighbors, right? In which case, we
48:02can't build the barn.
48:04>> No, they they can come and they can
48:07express their concerns, but ultimately
48:09it is up to us.
48:11>> They are still you are still well within
48:13your property.
48:14>> Okay.
48:15>> Okay.
48:16>> The setbacks, their waiverss for
48:18setbacks are there for a reason because
48:19they may also need one in the future.
48:22>> You know that. So with the pro with the
48:26information that is presented we can
48:29either approve right
48:32>> which you I don't think you have the
48:33votes for that
48:34>> right
48:35>> denied you can't come back with the same
48:39project
48:41if we deny it or you can continue it and
48:45I'm sorry yes you're going to lose two
48:47weeks
48:48>> but we'll do we'll take a continuous
48:49time that's
48:50>> unfortunately [clears throat]
48:51for the board those are our only
48:53>> I think but again Can I add because I'm
48:55not I'm just not sure. Quite
48:58>> is there the fourth that there's a
49:01little more.
49:03>> There is there is there is no fourth.
49:06>> Okay.
49:07>> Right. We'll take the third.
49:08>> Understand.
49:09>> State law town ordinance. Those are our
49:12options.
49:12>> Understand?
49:13>> And more a better documentation.
49:15>> Yeah. Just Yeah. Yeah. I mean, you're
49:19building sounds like you've got the data
49:21going to be quite
49:23it seems to me come in with something
49:26that
49:28>> you know you can build from.
49:30>> Yeah.
49:31>> And and we can sign the decision
49:36>> that night because realistically even if
49:38we approved it tonight Yeah.
49:39>> we wouldn't be assigning the decision.
49:41>> So is it two weeks from today?
49:42>> It's two weeks from today.
49:44And we could we could we could sign the
49:46decision that
49:47>> that night.
49:49>> So real and realistically without
49:51Cheryl, we wouldn't be signing the
49:52decision tonight.
49:54>> Anyway,
49:56>> so that doesn't really change the title.
49:59>> I think
50:00>> see in two weeks I guess that
50:03works for everybody.
50:04>> Yeah.
50:05>> Did you talk to your insurance company?
50:08>> Yes, they were okay.
50:09>> Yeah, they were just
50:10>> they were okay. go over this. What we're
50:12kind of asking for,
50:15>> what I am suggesting
50:16>> is to go back to the original setback
50:19and maybe go back this way. Correct.
50:21>> Correct.
50:21>> And encroach if they need to encroach it
50:23this side encroaching
50:27into the property.
50:28>> So, do we have to put in a whole new
50:29application where we're noticing
50:32don't we have to we don't notice our
50:34neighbors for that?
50:35>> What do we do with our neighbor? Just go
50:38talk to them. Okay. We don't have to
50:40send another letter.
50:41>> You don't have to send another letter.
50:42Go talk to your neighbor. Say, "We went
50:44to the meeting. The board suggested we
50:45do this. We're now asking for figure out
50:48what your encroachment is. X number of
50:50feet." Right?
50:51>> It's probably well within the mode area
50:52that you're already mowing up to their
50:54property line.
50:55>> Right.
51:00>> Because we're still it's still warned as
51:03a setback or they're asking for a side
51:06setback. So,
51:07>> right. But the but the warning is still
51:09for a setback date.
51:13>> Do they need to sign anything? Do they
51:15need to come here and express anything
51:17>> if they want to?
51:18>> You have to give them the option.
51:20>> Right.
51:21>> Well, they left notice of this hearing
51:22and they didn't show up. But
51:24>> as good neighbors, you can go tell them
51:27what transpired
51:29>> and
51:30if they want to come to the next one,
51:33>> they're more than welcome.
51:35>> Gotcha. [clears throat] Well, I
51:36appreciate that. That's a fair option.
51:38>> That's
51:39>> and it's tight timing. I think it's a
51:40fair option.
51:41>> I appreciate that. See you work with I
51:44wish that there was a number four.
51:48>> I understand.
51:48>> I mean, we have to read everything.
51:50>> No, I I understand. I I had no idea how
51:52it worked.
51:54>> All right. All right.
51:58>> What is What is the next?
51:59>> 21st.
52:02>> 23rd.
52:03>> Oh, 23rd.
52:06This is what
52:06>> Oh, I'm sorry. Is it is I It was
52:08Wednesdays.
52:09>> Yeah.
52:10>> Oh, then then what's on my agenda here
52:12is wrong.
52:13>> Yeah, she got the day off.
52:16>> Okay. [clears throat]
52:19>> And we will get something that
52:20accurately shows dimensions to the
52:23survey property lines.
52:25>> Yeah.
52:27>> If you go look on the um water database,
52:31you can find drawings for that lot. Yep.
52:34It'll have
52:36the well and everything. It'll have the
52:38property lines on it. It'll have the
52:39edge of the pavement on it.
52:41>> It's probably a great base to start
52:42from.
52:44>> Surprised they don't have here.
52:47>> Uh the plans are digitally with the
52:49state, but there's a plaque here as well
52:51if you get [clears throat]
52:52and use that.
52:54>> Gotcha.
52:56Um,
52:58please have that information back to
52:59Cheryl by
53:03Friday before the meeting.
53:05>> Yeah, I think she said that she doesn't
53:06even get back till when? Maybe the 15th
53:09or something.
53:14>> think she gets [clears throat] back on
53:15the 15th. That's not going to give her
53:17enough time to
53:18>> she'll or it's a continuence. So, I'll
53:21let her know that to expect it.
53:24She just needs to forward that to us.
53:25>> So that's the only paperwork I have to
53:27do.
53:28>> Got it.
53:30>> And actually if you need to any of the
53:33get a map or something, I'm actually the
53:36person who can look those up for you. So
53:38find that.
53:40>> All right. Great. So we will
53:43>> correct.
53:45>> Yes.
53:45>> 21st at 6:30.
53:46>> Thank you.
53:47>> Thank you.
53:50>> I hear you a seriously appreciate you.
53:52All right. Thank you very much. Thank
53:53you.
53:56>> Okay.
54:00>> At six:30.
54:07>> All we have is the minutes. Correct.
54:08Approve general minutes.
55:07computer's got the worst
55:13was it was full when I started see this
55:14meeting and it's already
55:19is it replaceable like
55:22[clears throat]
55:23probably not
55:25also maxed out the Could [clears throat]
55:29be your charger, too.
55:31>> What's that?
55:32>> A lot of times that charger goes.
55:35>> Yeah, I got a couple different chargers.
55:40does spend most of his life just plugged
55:41in.
56:18think when when she mentioned the gravel
56:21driveway, the neighbor said there's no
56:23gravel driveway.
56:59Was
57:07that application chip was that continue
57:10to a time and date certain?
57:12>> No.
57:13>> So, are they reapplying or was this an
57:15informal conversation? [clears throat]
57:18Uh, as far as I could gather from Ed,
57:20she was she really didn't give a good
57:23reason why she came when she did. And it
57:26seemed like she was postponing to
57:28probably next year.
57:30>> Okay. So, there's no
57:33>> No.
57:36But was there an application?
57:38>> Yeah. Oh, yeah. There was an
57:39application. So, was it withdrawn?
57:41>> I I would characterize the conclusion of
57:44that as per her withdrawing.
57:47Yeah.
57:48>> Okay.
57:51So,
57:55so the application would withdrawn.
58:00>> Period.
58:00>> Yeah.
58:01>> They basically had less information than
58:04they had the first time when they came.
58:06>> I remember the first time they came
58:07around.
58:08>> All right. Um,
58:12worry about comments. Once you're given
58:13to me and I will mark up the word file
58:16and send it back.
58:17>> I got the extraneous the
58:18>> I got the extraneous the
58:21[clears throat]
58:23>> Okay.
58:24>> I was not there but it's something to
58:25say on that one.
58:26>> I was not there either. But it's just
58:29general minutes. So I'm just reading it
58:31forward.
58:33>> You guys, three of you tell me that it's
58:35accurate and I'm happy to to approve the
58:37general minutes. It's not a decision.
58:39>> Yeah.
58:41>> All right. So, I'll edit the board file.
58:44>> Yeah.
58:44>> And email it back to to Cheryl.
58:47>> Yeah.
58:49>> That's the That's the easiest way.
58:51>> Uh, yes. She told me honestly we I could
58:53just write up notes on here and then
58:56type it up myself and give it to her. If
58:58you would like to take care of it.
59:00>> Sounds like some very minor edits.
59:02>> I'll take care of that. Easy. Uh, we
59:06have a motion to approve the general
59:08minutes from the September 16th meeting.
59:11I move for approving the general minutes
59:13from the September 16th meeting.
59:17A second. I second the motion of Mr.
59:19Rogers.
59:21All in favor?
59:22>> I I one extension.
59:27>> Brett,
59:29Mr. forgiveness.
59:34[music]
59:42>> [music]
