The applicant appeared tonight to get clarification that the Board was o-k with the fence, gate and six brick columns. Larry Bucciarelli made a motion to approve the columns, fence and gate with instructions for the applicant to amend his building permit application to include these items; which motion was seconded by Margaret Raso and carried unanimously.
