Public Hearing:

William Krause, 180 East Shore Road, Huntington Bay.
Mr. Prior read the public notice and noted that in a November 9, 2006 decision the applicant was granted variances in order to raise the roof, add decorative dormers and add a front entry porch. John Himmelsbach, architect for the applicant, presented the application to construct additions to the existing dwelling and to reconfigure the existing interior space.  The hearing was closed at 8:10 pm.  A transcript was taken by Laura Pinto.

6 Castle Harbor Partners, LLC, 1 Schwab Rd. Suite 8, Melville
Mr. Prior waived reading the public notice as this hearing was continued from September.  John McCarron, attorney for the applicant, explained that this is a unique application because of the Castle Harbor property.  The application is to remove the existing house and construct a new dwelling moving it forward on the property and away from the steep slope which would also enhance the views from the adjacent neighbor’s house. One neighbor expressed concern about the size, another neighbor expressed support.  The hearing was closed at 8:40pm.  A transcript was taken by Laura Pinto.

The board discussed the applications presented.
