Comments The project proposal at 182 Washington Street will be on the
DRB March meeting agenda. I am the owner of the neighboring
property at 178 Washington Street, an 1855 house which is
subject to storm water runoff in my basement from a cement
patio, which because it is violation of the 8 foot setback rule, he
has been ordered to remove the patio furniture and now is
proposing it as a "driveway extension" in the upcoming review.
The property line is about one foot from the basement stone

wall and the patio cement pad was poured right on the property
line.
I would like to speak with someone on the design review board
ahead of the March meeting to discuss any recourse I may
have regarding the renaming of the patio in violation to
"driveway extension" in his attempt to keep the pad that drains
into my basement. I don't want to just complain at the DRB
meeting if there is no chance of finding relief.
Attached is a photo of the patio with the support of the pergola
over it actually on my property, and a video showing water
coming in through my basement window after the cement pad
was poured. A French drain installed is already beginning to
fail.
Thank you
