There shall be a maximum of one driveway curb cut per lot. In CB, GB, EB and HB Districts, a special
permit from the Planning Board is required for more than one curb cut. The Planning Board may only
issue a second curb cut if the applicant can show that there is something unique about the property that
would otherwise render flow to and from the property unsafe and unmanageable. If the Board finds
that more than one curb cut is necessary for traffic safety purposes, then additional off-site traffic
mitigation may be required by the Planning Board to address pedestrian safety within the abutting
street network. In all other districts, the Planning Board may, as part of site plan approval, allow
additional driveways/curb cuts if, and only if, such permit will promote and improve safe and efficient
traffic circulation. Residential driveways shall generally be over the front lot line directly from the street.
Residential driveways may be constructed across side and rear lot lines directly from the street,
however, when the Department of Public Works finds, or the Planning Board issues a site plan approval,
that the driveway will not degrade safety. Driveways shall not cross lot lines of adjoining properties
without Planning Board site plan approval.
