Favaloro presented the updated plan. <br />Underground parking is cost prohibitive; the water table is too high. <br />Mr. McQuilken presented changes to site plan since last meeting. <br />Chute Street would have angled parking. <br />Proposed changes to walkways on Chute and Haven include a column-supported overhang <br />for a pedestrian walkway. <br />JD discussed his memo to the CPDC on the revised site plan: the BOS would have to <br />approve curb cuts; Chute St. angled parking is a problem - there are jurisdictional issues with <br />half public, half private spaces and the existing walkway would be eliminated; assumed <br />Chute St. parking on the opposite side is not allowed; if parking spaces are public then there <br />is snow removal issue; the bump out on Chute St. might be too large for truck traffic; the <br />plans don't indicate curbing; granite curbing should be required; the revised drainage plan <br />should be OK; sprinklers should be indicated with 6" connection. <br />
