Resident given interim driveway OK pending inspection; board sets sight‑distance, pitch specs
Summary
Board discussed a driveway permit for a resident who began work before final approval. Members agreed to allow a one‑year interim permit but require a site inspection and construction to town specs (9-inch drop over 12 feet) before final sign-off.
A resident who started constructing a driveway without final approval was advised to complete a permit and bring the work into compliance before final acceptance.
“Once you go back 12 feet and drop 9 inches in 12 feet, you’re outside the right of way,” the Chair said, laying out the town’s sight‑distance and pitch standard that the driveway must meet. Board members said they would perform a site inspection and that the temporary permit would allow a year for final approval. The discussion noted neighbors’ concerns about lot configuration and sight distance; the board clarified that final approval depends on an on‑site check and construction to town specifications.
