Homeowner at 144 Stony Hill Road seeks small rear garage addition; commission to inspect site
Summary
A homeowner from 144 Stony Hill Road presented plans July 15 to extend the rear of an existing garage by roughly 20 feet and requested a site visit. The commission noted the house predates river protection rules but the addition would fall within the 100‑foot buffer; commissioners agreed to inspect the property before acting.
A resident of 144 Stony Hill Road presented a proposal July 15 to extend the rear of an existing garage by about 20 feet, maintaining the garage width. The applicant said the lot is cleared and the house predates the River Protection Act, but the proposed addition would fall within the 100‑foot buffer area.
The homeowner described foundation plans as a slab with a 4–6 inch thickness and noted that a 6‑foot excavation may be required for load‑bearing portions. Commissioners and the applicant discussed septic location (on the opposite, east side of the house) and whether the addition would affect the wetland buffer; the applicant provided photos and a site plan.
The commission agreed to perform a site visit prior to the August meeting to verify the field conditions, wetland boundaries and septic locations. Staff will coordinate a time and include the applicant on the notice.
No vote or permit decision was made at the July 15 meeting; the item will return after the site inspection.
