Driscoll seeks 670‑sq‑ft primary‑suite addition; conservation commission reported approval
Summary
Robert Driscoll presented a plan for a roughly 670‑square‑foot first‑floor addition to create a primary suite; applicants said the conservation commission approved the project and the addition will be sited to avoid steep‑slope excavation.
The board considered TDash0060, an application by Robert Driscoll for a 670‑square‑foot first‑floor addition to an existing home. The applicants, joining by Zoom, said the addition is intended to create a primary suite and will be constructed on a level portion of lawn to minimize disturbance of steep slopes.
The applicants said they had sought and received conservation commission approval the prior week; one applicant said "They approved us last week, last Wednesday." The chair and board members reviewed the five conditional‑use criteria and discussed siting, materials and whether the addition would match the historic character of the structure; applicants said they would match roof color and use cedar siding to blend the addition with the existing house.
The item generated some confusion about whether the application was warned for the May 26 meeting; the board agreed staff would follow up about scheduling. A motion to close testimony carried and the board moved to deliberation without a final vote at the May 26 session.
