OLD BUSINESS 22-23184;Nancy Clark; 26885 Butternut Ridge Road Representatives:Nancy Clark 26885 Butternut Ridge Road To begin, Mr. Morse explained that the proposal included building a new garage in a different position that is visible from the street. The previous garage will be demolished. The application was tabled at the November 14th meeting due to members' questions about the proposal.

One of the reasons it's challenging is that she had to install the center support up there to keep the
