Board approves one-lot private way (Birdie Lane) for Longboard Construction
Summary
The Planning Board unanimously approved a preliminary review to create a one-lot private way (Birdie Lane) at 380 Guinea Road for Longboard Construction, subject to five conditions including engineer certification of construction to city standards.
The board approved case 2026.29 to create a one-lot private way (Birdie Lane) to allow construction of a second lot at 380 Guinea Road, Map 81 Lot 7. Planner described the proposal as a straightforward private-way application: Lot 1 already has a building permit and curb cut, and Lot 2 will use the private way for access; staff recommended approval with five conditions including an engineer-signed certification that the private way is built to city standards.
An audience member asked why the item came before the board instead of being handled administratively; planner explained staffing and quorum issues led to treating the application as a public hearing to accelerate processing. A motion to approve with the conditions read into the record was moved, seconded and carried unanimously.
