He said that it is 24” at the base and 16” at the top which is the same height as the current one. Zach said that they wanted something more natural. There was discussion about the drainage system and the Board recommended having a landscape architect/engineer come out and survey the property. The Board thought aesthetically the job looked nice. Ginny Fitz (homeowner) at 95 South Main said that this property has a shared driveway and she asked that they be informed when they won’t be able to use the driveway because their trucks will be bringing in equipment. Zach said that they were going to set up a staging area on the client’s grass and would not be blocking the drive. She said she thinks the drainage issue happened when they installed the pool and that the current drainage that comes down makes the sidewalk very icy and dangerous during the winter. Zach said the wall would be 8” away from the sidewalk. Clemens said that the foundation drainage could go to daylight. Dominic said that the wall drainage could be daylighted. There was much discussion about the drainage issue and how to resolve it. Zach said that the landscape architect met him at the property and that was the first time he had seen the seepage. He said he would like to find out where the seepage is coming from. Summation-motion by King, seconded by Kaminski for final approval of design plans of the wall as presented with the following comment: They need the landscape architect and engineer to reach out to our Building and Zoning Inspector Dominic Cribari after they solve the water problem on the property. Roll Call: Corcoran-yea, Fazio-yea, King-yea, Kaminski-yea. Motion passed. 6. Goldstein 26 South Franklin St. Exterior Alterations-Final Adam Rosekelly (Architect) presented these plans.
