Planning board advises common council to approve curb cut at 140 Maple Street with tree-commission condition
Summary
The Glens Falls Planning Board recommended that the Common Council favorably consider a curb-cut (driveway) at 140 Maple Street, conditioned on tree-commission approval for removal of a city-owned tree and compliance with city apron specifications.
The Planning Board on April 2 voted to forward a favorable advisory opinion to the Glens Falls Common Council recommending approval of a curb cut (driveway) at 140 Maple Street, subject to the tree commission’s approval for removal of a city-owned tree and compliance with city curb/apron specifications.
Applicant William Montgomery and owner Garth Cole presented a survey showing the proposed driveway location; the board noted the property currently is the only house in the immediate area without a driveway and that the proposed curb cut would bring on-site parking to the parcel. The application requires a tree-commission determination because the driveway will remove one city-owned tree; the applicant said he would seek permission from the tree commission. The board’s advisory motion recommended approval to the common council conditioned on tree-commission approval and that the apron meet city specifications.
Motion: The board moved to submit an advisory opinion in favor of the curb cut for the property at tax map 303.17-10-28 (140 Maple Street), conditioned on tree-commission approval to remove the tree and compliance with city apron requirements. The motion passed by voice vote; a roll-call tally was not recorded in the transcript.
