Neighbors and board press applicant on trash, landscaping and parking for proposed six‑unit at 193–195 Main St
Summary
Applicant updated the board on a 6‑unit addition including a reconfigured trash room and Royal Karting refuse plan; board and neighbors questioned bin access logistics, landscape counting toward the 10% requirement, and reliance on municipal/overflow parking.
The applicant for 193–195 Main Street presented revisions to a previously opened public hearing: a one‑story connector, an expanded refuse room sized for 11 roll‑out 95‑gallon containers, and a modified landscaping plan with permeable pavers. The team said Royal Karting committed in writing to pull full containers from the trash room and return them after collection; residential refuse would be picked up weekly and restaurant refuse twice weekly.
Board members and residents raised operational concerns. One resident warned that a pickup truck parked on Cliff Street could block the narrow right‑of‑way during collections; board members asked the applicant to provide demonstrated routing/vehicle turning information and a letter from the hauler clarifying how the contractor will access the site and avoid sidewalk stacking. Natalie also asked the applicant to clarify whether grass pavers and turf are being counted toward the code’s 10% landscape requirement and requested clarifications in the bulk table. The board closed the public hearing and directed staff to draft an approval resolution for the next meeting, subject to finalization of stormwater, landscaping calculations, refuse logistics and any required easement language.
