RE: 30 ½ Caroline Street
Site Plan Revisions
Dear Ms. Barden:
Attached please find amended plans based on comments received from the Planning Board on June 12th. The
amendments/additions consist of the following.
• The driveway has been increased in width to 12’ and the second lane has been removed.
• A Victorian Street Lamp has been added along the frontage and the existing lamp will be changed to an
LED fixture.
• The tree pits along the frontage will include a granite curb edge in lieu of tree grates.
• The following details have been updated.
o Type 2 concrete for vehicle traffic sidewalk
o Deciduous Tree Planting
o Bollard
• The sewer lateral treatment has been revised.
• Transformer location with buffering has been added.
• A fence has been added along the rear and side property lines.
• Additional bicycle parking has been included.
• The patio was removed in lieu of a landscape area which seemed to be important to the Board. The space
is tight and providing both is problematic, but we can discuss.
• There was concern with respect to the existing arborvitaes along the eastern boundary at the access to the
site. These shrubs appear to be on the neighboring property. Caroline Street is one-way so this would not
be a concern for vehicle access from the east, but we can discuss it further.
• A garbage pick-up figure is attached to this letter.
We look forward to appearing before the board for further discussion.
Best Regards,
David R. Carr, Jr., RLA, ASLA
