RESOLUTION APP 04-08 Gary G. Gilbert:  On motion of Pam Kaithern, seconded by Dick Rigby, this resolution was approved on roll call vote as follows: Kaithern abstaining, all other members present voting in the affirmative.

INFORMAL HEARING - Tom Hannah owner 217 Myrtle, Block 2, Lot 2:  Solicitor Russell explained that this was a concept review only.  Mr. Hannah explained that he would like to extend the second floor without increasing the overall footprint of the building.  He would also like to raise the entire building to provide parking underneath.  Solicitor Russell felt that based on the facts presented, no variances would be needed because the owner isn’t expanding the footprint.

NEW APPLICATION - Wilbraham Mansion (2) Block 4, Lot 6 133 Myrtle Avenue:
Solicitor Russell explained that because a D variance might be needed on this application, the class I and class III members would not be able vote and thus a quorum would not exist.  The attorney for the applicant as well as the attorney for objectors concurred with Mr. Russell.  Mr. Russell announced that the application would be postponed to the Tuesday, September 9, 2008 Regular Meeting at 7:00 PM and further advertisement would not be necessary by the applicant. 

PRIVILEGE OF THE FLOOR:  No one from the public wished to speak.

ADJOURNMENT:  On motion of Pam Kaithern, seconded by Doris Jacobsen, and carried by unanimous voice vote, the regular meeting was adjourned at 7:27 PM.

Respectfully submitted,

Elaine L. Wallace
