Add: Site visit to B. VanValkenburgh property was made on 9/9/04 by P. Ballard,
B. VonHassel and N. Reynolds. Motion to approve the garage was made by
P. Ballard, seconded by N. Reynolds, unanimously approved.

Site visit was also made to the M. Cangero property. The proposed garage location
does not conform to setback measurements; Mr. Cangero will try to contact the
adjacent owner for a letter of permission to grant a variance. He will notify the
Board if he is successful, at that time we can complete the paperwork.
