Mr. Jordan stated that the northern access is very wet and he may need to use the southern driveway.
The Board agreed that it would have to go before the Zoning Board of Adjustments first, and then back to the Planning Board once it’s approved. They also recommend that Mr. Valley speak with D.O.T. beforehand.
Conceptual- Patrick Hayes
