NATURE OF PROPOSED WORK:
INSTALL second curb cut for GRAVEL DRIVEWAY
HARDSHIP:
CONDITION OF APPROVAL:
1)Access shall only be allowed from the new driveway proposed and the existing access shall be ceased
permanently with some physical barrier.
FINDINGS:
The Planning Board approved the installation of a second curb cut at the site based upon the information submitted with the application
and testimony by the applicant.
The Board determined that the following site plan criteria had been met:
1. The requested use protects adjoining premises against seriously detrimental uses. The new curb cut serves a separate residential
structure on the parcel.
2. The requested use will not have an effect on convenience and safety of vehicular and pedestrian movement within the site and on
adjacent streets, roads in the area. There is no sidewalk on the parcel's side of Nonotuck Street. No new traffic will be generated.
3. The requested use will have no effect on the relationship of structures and open spaces to the
natural landscape, existing buildings and other community assets in the area. The existing vegetation on site will remain.
4. The requested use will not overload, and will mitigate adverse impacts on, the City's resources
including the effect on the City's water supply and distribution system, sanitary and storm
sewage collection and treatment systems, fire protection, streets and schools. No new city services are required. A letter from the fire
department indicates that eliminating the use of a non-conforming common driveway will improve safety/access to the existing structure.
5. The requested use meets any special regulaions set forth in the Zoning Ordinance in section 350-8.8G
