The updates to the plan included the following: Each dwelling would be at least 20 feet apart; The width of the private road would be increased to include the tree easement; The drainage was modified as per Engineering’s recommendations; and a pedestrian path was added to open space between lots five and six, but not to Lincoln Street, Engineering did not want the path to Lincoln Street for safety issues; The drainage plan would still puddle on the roadway for six hours, but the entire system would drain within 38 hours; and the homes presented on lots one and three would be the houses designed for those lots and all sides of the houses would have the same level of detail. Mr. Farrington said that there would be a Homeowners Association for the seven lots and eight units and a separate Condominium document regarding the architectural restrictions and photographs would be used as reference points of what would be preserved. Board Concerns and Comments:  How would the new intersection feel as you drive over it because of the grade? Like driving onto a driveway.
