which will primarily house Mr. Seymour's 4 cars, 3 sailboats, and 1 rowboat. The new barn will

only. There are no proposed water or sewage lines to the barn. Mr. Seymour is not adding
another driveway or entrance to the property.
No abutters appeared either in support or in opposition to the project. The Board was in

neighborhood, zoning district, or Town, and that the applicant has demonstra#ed .that no undue
