being built. It should take 4 - 4 1/2 months. The house should be complete in October or November. The applicant will put up a bond in the amount of $10,000 guaranteeing the existing house will be demolished.

Chairman Braun said he does not think a $10,000 bond is adequate.

Mr. Tobia said if the Board approves this, the Board would require the house come down within a certain amount of time. There may be legal fees. I don’t think $10,000 is enough.

Attorney Rubino asked if the applicant would be willing to pay the necessary legal and engineering fees that might be incurred. Attorney Middleton agreed.

Chairman Braun said the concern the Board has would be if this lot is sold the approvals run with the land.

Attorney Rubino said this applicant must live in the house. Attorney Middleton agreed.
