The proposed amendment would allow pomhes as permitted obstructions in the required front yard, up to a minimum 25 foot setback. The Zoning Board of Appeals voted 3-2 to approve the text amendment with the condition that the amendment would not apply to new construction.

Trustee Corcoran expressed his opposition to the text amendment based on the fact that allowing porches might lead further expansion and enclosure of the structure, resulting in actual rooms being added. Trustee Nocchi concurred with Trustee Corcoran and indicated that'he would be compelled to vote against this amendment. Trustee Wilks indicated that she is pleased with the way zoning cases regarding encroachment are presently handled, and stated that she, too, would vote against the amendment.
