Summary

The planning board approved site-plan and historic-review applications for 15 Lewis Avenue, conditioning sign-off on submission of pervious-pavement and stormwater calculations and coordination of architectural and engineering plans.

The Planning Board on Aug. 6 granted site-plan and Architectural and Historic Review Board approval for renovations at 15 Lewis Avenue, including retaining walls, a new patio and a prefabricated pergola. Approval was unanimous.

Staff and board members said that pervious-pavement calculations had been emailed by the applicant's representative and should be formally submitted to the building department. As one reviewer said, the calculations "demonstrate that" the pavement meets perviousness standards and should be included in the official filing. The planning board recorded conditions requiring coordinated architectural and engineering plans, submittal of stormwater calculations, compliance with zoning lighting standards and 50% replacement of trees removed or payment in lieu.

Why this matters: The board's approval allows the applicant to proceed, but final filings must be accepted by the building department and village engineer before permits are issued.

What happens next: The applicant will submit the pervious-pavement calculations and any corrected plan sets to the building department for formal review and permit processing.
