Summary

The commission approved a permit modification request for a Holly Lane restaurant patio that adds landscaping, seating tiers and a low privacy fence after the applicant described changes and commissioners reviewed site impact and fencing.

The commission approved a modification to an existing wetlands permit for a restaurant patio on Holly Lane.

Applicant James Fitzpatrick described new grading to create two patio levels, a low four‑foot privacy fence and plantings (arborvitae "green giants," hydrangeas, maples) to screen headlights and reduce roadside noise. Fitzpatrick said all disturbed areas were previously lawn and that the improvements added pedestrian and seating amenities.

Commission staff noted that modifications to approved site plans require a permit modification; Fitzpatrick formally requested approval and the commission voted to approve the changes by voice vote.
