Bruce Canton, owner of Lot 31, Block 2, Wildridge Subdivision, was present to discuss. Bruce noted a letter dated April 4, 1995 written to the Council and Commission on this Lot 30, Block 2, Wildridge Subdivision, Memo on Ambrosia Residence. (Con.'t) subject. When Bruce was building in the fall he had done some things to help out Mr. Ambrosia for his future home. Bruce stated that initially Mr. Ambrosia said he would put his house back further on the lot and put it behind Bruce's house so it would not obstruct any of Bruce's views and so the houses would not be on top of each other. Bruce understands that plans will change but not to the extent of seriously effecting his view. Mr. Ambrosia wants to cut costs to the extent of going back on what he has said in the past. Mary Holden stated that this is a sticky situation. This is a dispute between neighbors leading to a civil action. Mr. Ambrosia is in compliance with code. The one thing that is missing in the Design Review Guidelines views are mentioned and how they will impact adjacent property. At the time this project came through Final Design Review there was apparently an understanding between Mr. Ambrosia and Mr. Canton. Commission was concern with the laps of the 20 day time period for a citizen to respond. Chairperson Hunn explained that Mr. Ambrosia volunteered to move his home after he had been given Final Design Approval for his project by the Commission. Therefore, the Commission did not take action on that basis. Staff explained he was not bound to moving the home since he volunteer to do so. Chairperson Hunn asked Mr. Canton if Mr. Ambrosia if he did this to avoid an appeal within the proper time frame. Mr. Canton did not know but he felt all along he was led to believe that Mr. Ambrosia was going to located the home further part of the lot. Commission was also concerned that Mr. Ambrosia told the Commission he would move the home at a past P&Z meeting. Staff will research the extent of the involvement of the town. Commission feels it is a civil matter that is out of the control of the Town of Avon. Rhoda Schneiderman feels a strong disapproval of the actions taken by Mr. Ambrosia and feels he misled the Commission. 2) Mary Holden stated her appreciation for working with the Commission during her position as Avon Town Planner.
