Questions and Comments from the Commission: ⎯No stones from the existing stone wall on town property shall be used to reconstruct the new wall and no disturbance of the existing stone wall on town-owned property is permitted. ⎯Concerned about the slope of the property and how the new stone wall will be constructed. ⎯The curb cut is currently located abutting the catch basin.The Engineering Department likes to see curbing behind the catch basin. ⎯A resident submitted comments stating that the root system of the oak tree is within the stone wall on town property and asked the Commission to restrict its removal to protect the stone wall. Responses from the Representative: ⎯The oak tree removal will be cut from above and will not be ripping the tree out from town property. ⎯The applicant is agreeable to leaving a snag on the oak tree but will remove the branch that leans towards the dwelling. ⎯The stone trench will alleviate some of the runoff to the catch basin but we will install a small bump behind the catch basin.
