Retaining wall extension at 80 River Street approved to improve path to rec center
Summary
The board approved an extension of an existing retaining wall behind a garage at 80 River Street to stabilize a steep slope and create a safer pedestrian path to the recreation center; the work matches material from prior FEMA‑assisted repairs.
An applicant seeking to extend an existing retaining wall at 80 River Street told the board the work will run behind a garage and help form a walking path to the recreation center. The presenter said the proposed wall continues previous work that FEMA helped fund after storm damage and will use similar materials to what was previously approved.
Board members asked about proximity to the river and whether the conservation commission should be involved; the presenter said the extension does not reach the river edge and is intended to maintain the yard and improve pedestrian access. The board closed testimony and approved the application.
