We do feel, however, that they need to comply with the law (string line test, setback, and the 25% impervious surface ratio) to be able to build a 25x76 dwelling on their lot, with no exceptions. We all, at one time, had to abide with the law and we expect the same from them. Also, the scaled drawing that they submitted is completely inaccurate. We all think the dwelling is too big for the size of the lot and that it will take up most of the impervious surface, leaving very little for parking which has been a problem in the past as they do have a lot of visitors. We ask the Board to take this letter into consideration when making a decision on this matter.
