Public Hearing
#3520 – CHRISTOPHER POST
20/22 Pleasant Street
Sitting: A. Wendy Longo, David Peck, Michael Main, Edward Conroy, and Marc Betti.
David Peck read the legal advertisement into the record.
Mr. Flaherty, Flaherty & Stefani, representing the petitioner, said the petitioner owns the property at 20/20 Pleasant Street (one structure) and the property at 14 Pleasant Street. There is an existing driveway at 14 Pleasant Street that will be used to enter the parking spaces behind 20/22 Pleasant. The six parking spaces being created will be 9’x18’ instead of the 10”x20’ required per the bylaw. The clapboard on the building will be replaced. A rain garden will be installed for the runoff. Very little grading will take place. Vegetation will be removed but no large trees. The driveway at 14 Pleasant will be widened. The cross easement will be recorded.
Mr. Main asked if the spaces could be made larger.
Mr. Flaherty replied that they could not without cutting a very large tree.
Mr. Peck asked how the water would flow to the rain garden with the contours going in the other direction.
Mr. Flaherty replied that the grade will be adjusted so it will hit the Cape Cod berm and flow to the rain garden.
Public comment offered in favor.
