enough from the street.

not sure if it is possible to change without much more expense.

Annex:
Members
expressed their thoughts and many questions not answered by the Library Board.
David
Eckroth had written to Library after the first viewing of plans and model by
the architect. His concerns and questions about site,
location, planning, form and design.
Hera
reported on Town Board members realizing that the Library “Memorandum Of
Understanding”
made
with the TB was misunderstood, when unanimously passed.
Library

an architect,
who
viewed some problems with the annex design but mainly likes and supports it.
David
Boyle spoke about the serious parking problems that exist and will be worsened
