Board presses developer on parking, private road and easement terms for 660 Main Street
Summary
During the hearing, board members sought details on assigned parking, tandem spaces, repaving of the shared private drive, and the underlying easement; the applicant said parking would be assigned and the team intends to repave and coordinate cost sharing with neighbors.
Several board members raised practical concerns about parking and the shared private access that runs from Main Street up to the properties behind the DePeuy mansion. Members asked how the existing five-unit building’s parking was treated in unit/parking calculations and how the addition of nine units would affect on-site and spillover parking.
Joseph Thompson said the project provides 16 surface spaces and nine interior garage spaces for the new building, that parking would be signed and assigned, and that the design would create better organization than the current informal lot. He told the board the majority of the private drive is under the applicant’s ownership and said the development team expects to repave, stripe, and sign the drive, and to coordinate with adjacent owners under the existing easement language. The board asked the planning commission to review the easement language and long-term maintenance responsibilities during site-plan review.
