OLD BUSINESS
Mr. .Chuck Johnson was present to discuss his plans for the
attachments between the houses within the Byrd Beach Estate project.
Mr. Johnson plans to utilize masonry walls with wrought iron gates
for a pleasing look. There will be some retaining walls and at one
house, a privacy fence. There was discussion about connection of
the West side houses to the East side houses over the interior
roadway, and it was suggested that Mr. Johnson may want to go before
the Board of Adjustment for a variance to omit the connection
between the two sections. This would allow easier access for fire
vehicles, and make the project look more attractive aesthetically.
Mr. Johnson stated that he can easily conform to the original
approval of attachments with the West side houses, and was open to
the suggestion of obtaining a variance for omission of attachment to
the East houses.
Attorney Sliney suggested Mr. Johnson submit in writing to the
Planning Board his exact attachments between the West houses, and
that he apply for a Variance regarding the attachment to the East
section.
