Board presses Michael’s Garden Gate Nursery on truck access, parking loss and DOT approvals
Summary
Engineers for Michael’s Garden Gate Nursery outlined truck turning plans and delivery logistics; the Planning Board flagged potential parking loss and asked the applicant to meet Building Inspector Peter Miley to resolve parking and historic parking questions.
Robert Wasp of Wasp Engineering summarized changes to Michael’s Garden Gate Nursery’s site plan, including removal of an existing shed, a new smaller shed, and proposed measures for tractor‑trailer unloading and truck turning. The presentation noted that Department of Transportation approval may be required for certain driveway or curbline work.
Board members discussed loss of parking, traffic flow through the site, and suggested delivery times be limited to outside business hours to reduce conflicts. The board directed the applicant to schedule a meeting with Building Inspector Peter J. Miley to review required parking calculations and historical parking questions.
Why it matters: changes to parking and delivery operations can affect neighboring traffic patterns and depend on DOT approvals; resolving parking requirements is necessary before a final approval or resolution.
What’s next: applicant to meet with Mr. Miley and return with clarified parking plans and any required DOT approvals.
