Summary

The DRB conducted a preliminary plan review for a proposed subdivision at 4478 Howe Hill Rd. (Joe Griffo). Commissioners raised concerns about driveway steepness for Lot 2 and the siting of a septic system; applicants and surveyor will return with road-plan options.

The Development Review Board reviewed a revised survey for a proposed subdivision at 4478 Howe Hill Rd. during the Feb. 10 meeting. John Roe and Paul Kristensen questioned driveway access for Lot 2, specifically noting the steepness of the proposed drive, and flagged possible constraints for septic-system siting; the applicant and his representative agreed to consult with their surveyor and prepare alternative road plans for the board's next preliminary-review session.

Joe Griffo attended the meeting virtually while his designated representative, Joe Honkala, joined in person. Dana Colson suggested the option of creating a road plan the future buyer could later modify with the DRB so Griffo would not need to build the road himself; commissioners endorsed further survey work before scheduling another preliminary-plan review.
