Architect: driveway widening just under 15% limit; commission recommends native buffer and approves
Summary
Architect Alex Latham said Hillary Hulteen’s proposed driveway widening would keep impervious surfaces just under the 15% maximum; the commission approved the plan and urged native plant buffers to mitigate runoff and underbrush loss.
Architect Alex Latham represented homeowner Hillary Hulteen on a permit for widening and resurfacing an existing driveway at 7 Smith Lane, saying the driveway is relatively steep and the project would shave the grade and widen the surface by three feet. The minutes state the impervious‑surface calculations are just under the maximum of 15%. The project had a stop‑work order because the work requires a permit.
The commission emphasized planting a natural buffer with native species and underbrush restoration to reduce runoff and preserve shoreline vegetation. The board voted to find the plan consistent with the LWRP (motion by Louise Grober; second by Giovanna Curti) and recorded the decision as unanimous.
