Mrs. White-Klug is willing to accommodate by grading a section of her yard to allow for more vehicles and also she sees it as a walking destination from Main Street. Selectman Mical asked if they will continue to live in the house along with the business. Mrs. White-Klug confirmed that she will be living in the house.

The Board felt that the space that the home business is going to take place in is within the required 25% of the living space. Selectman Mical has a concern about the parking situation. Mr. and Mrs. Klug stated that the driveway could hold six cars and they would monitor any parking on the street.

"Memo of Understanding" stating that if there appears to be a parking problem the Klug’s will agree to address it with the Planning Board.
