The Owner of 145 Sherman Street is proposing to build a single family home on a scenic way and we are here tonight since the Planning Board has jurisdiction over trees and stone walls on Scenic Ways. This is a unique site since this has an existing overflow drain; drainage ditch; and a retaining wall. One side of the proposed driveway is at a lower grade. We can't shift the location of the driveway because of the existing culvert, catch basin, and grove of trees. Also, the Fire Chief has requested that the opening to the stone wall for the driveway should be eighteen (18) feet.
