Board flags Miller Plaza retaining wall for inspector review after signs of collapse
Summary
Planning board members reported movement and a protruding ledge at the Miller Plaza retaining wall and agreed to have the town’s code enforcement and inspectors visit the site; members said the wall is part of the building permit and staff will follow up.
Board members raised concerns about a retaining wall at the Miller Plaza project that appears to have moved or partially collapsed and about an exposed ledge that a neighbor reported.
"It's a it's a safety issue," one committee member said, and the board agreed to ask the code enforcement officer to inspect the site. Staff confirmed an inspector would be on site Friday (Alan, covering while Don attends continuing education). Members discussed soil stability, ice and backfill as potential contributors and noted that the retaining wall is included with the building permit review.
Board members said they have asked inspectors to measure the building footprint and height; staff confirmed measurements matched what was presented in the permit materials. The board did not take formal regulatory action at the meeting beyond directing staff and inspectors to follow up and report back.
