Ms. Pat Nelson, attorney, Dan Solien, landscape architect, by cell phone, Mr. and Mrs. Anderson, and Mr. Mike Kosmo, engineer. Mr. Anderson described a short history of their ownership of the land, the lots status, and described the process they’ve had to go thru to get to this point. The main concern was the Board’s requirement of the preliminary plan to include a sidewalk. The first definitive hearing, the Board requested more input from the neighbors regarding making the street one-way and the sidewalk. There was no support for either idea by the abutters as stated in the two petitions. Given this, the applicant hoped to avoid the sidewalk since it would fundamentally change the area they lived in for over 20 years.
