water depth. A letter of support had been received from the adjacent neighbor, Mr.
Wesoff, at 55 River Drive. Mr. & Mrs. Williams, new owners of the property, stated that
they had received a permit to construct a new single-family home. Attorney Kino
explained that a notice of violation sent to the previous owner had postponed the
property closing, but the Village had worked with the new owners by waiting for a
building permit so they could apply for a variance.
Chair Strand reported she had visited the site, and asked the length of the dock to the
