She stated that the second unit does not protrude in the back of house and will not affect the neighborhood. Commissioner Kameny expressed concern with the additional parking on the side of residence and with the radius of the driveway. He stated he would support the application if driveway parking were eliminated. He expressed support with the location of the residence and the sufficient setback of the building.
