motion as made by Mr. Ferrito except it changes the time from 10:30 p.m. to 9:00
p.m. and his rationale for why this is fair is, He supported the location of the gym
at this site for this reason: "I see constant battles with the neighbors and the
school. I think the neighbors are entitled to peace and quiet and also think the

reasonable or fair. Mr. Hamilton seconded. Carried by vote of four ayes. Mrs.

Speaking on the issue was owner David Goldberg stating the application process
was started over a year ago and gave a summary of the conditions. Mr.
Goldberg stated he feels the Planning Commission failed to recognize there was
no impact on critical intersections per the
Traffic policy; failed to recognize the traffic policy allows an exemption for lot
splits on single family residences as long as all other Town requirements are met
and failed to recognize the applicant's willingness to give up living dwellings.
Discussion was held on the traffic policy. Also speaking on the appeal were
James Van Houten and Judy Forsberg. Mrs. Forsberg stated that the triangular
piece of property for the entry to the Goldberg property belongs to her and not to
Mr. Goldberg. Mr. Bowman stated the property in question shows on the
assessors map but was never legally subdivided and referred to the conditions of
approval stating #2 condition should read "A parcel map shall be filed including
the adjacent parcel which would assure access to Brook Acres Drive". Mrs.
Forsberg stated that if that is done she wants to be sure that this does not cloud
her property in anyway. Mr. Goldberg stated he did not feel traffic policy applied
to his project. It was noted that buildings on the property could not be used as
secondary units. After further discussion Mr. Ventura moved to continue this
appeal for two weeks and allow time to ascertain whether Town has jurisdiction
over the secondary units and request that applicant withdraw application for
