Applicant outlines 2‑car garage and bonus room at 675 College Hill; wetlands and tree removal noted
Summary
The applicant described plans for a two‑car garage with an upstairs bonus room and mudroom connector at 675 College Hill, shifting the driveway and removing some pine trees; wetlands lie behind the property and the applicant said the conservation commission previously approved related changes.
An applicant seeking conditional use for work at 675 College Hill described a two‑car garage with a bonus room above and a mudroom connector to the main house. The applicant said the driveway will be shifted about 60 feet to the left, that some pine trees along the property line will need to be removed, and that temporary gravel or grass parking will be provided during construction.
Board members asked about proximity to wetlands and replanting between the garage and the wetland line. The applicant said the wetlands are shown in the application materials and estimated about 95 feet from the garage corner to the wetlands in current conditions; the applicant said the conservation commission previously reviewed and approved related site work. The board discussed traffic during construction and confirmed the house is not on town water or sewer.
The applicant also noted the house already has about 16 kW of solar and an existing heat pump. After questions from board members about replanting and contours, the board moved and seconded to close testimony on this application and approved the motion by voice vote.
