Planning board recommends favorable action on ADU at 208 Ridge Street
Summary
Contractor Greg Santini presented a rear-lot accessory dwelling unit proposal for 208 Ridge Street; after technical questions about grading, retaining walls and stormwater, the board moved and voted to recommend favorable action on site-plan review.
Greg Santini, contractor for the owner of 208 Ridge Street, described plans for a two-story accessory dwelling unit in the rear of the lot requiring a grade change and retaining wall; he explained the design includes a kitchen/living area on the first floor and a bedroom and bath on a second level.
Board members pressed for details on the retaining wall height, driveway and tree impacts; Santini said the retaining wall would taper and the driveway alignment would avoid removing a 30-foot tree that will remain on site. Planning staff and engineering review were flagged as necessary before a building permit could be issued.
After discussion the board moved to recommend favorable action on the site-plan review for 208 Ridge Street; the voice vote carried without opposition.
