Tim Taylor, attorney, represented Mr. and Mrs. Brown.
...
Mr. Taylor reported that the drywell in front of the garage would be moved to one side, a second one installed and the roof drainage tied in.This would ensure that no water from the house and upper driveway would go down the lower driveway.Board members familiar with the locality commented that this driveway does not currently create an icing problem on the road.The Board had previously looked at a proposed lighting plan and considered it excessive in terms of the number and brightness of lights.Mr. Taylor stated that it was now proposed to: eliminate the motion detector on the second floor; remove one of the landscape lights; relocate one of the post lights; and reduce wattages.The Board had questioned the need for combined switching of the lights along the approach to the front entry; the applicants' response was that they only intended to use this rarely but believed that a combined switch made sense in terms of using it for access.Mr. Taylor commented that apart from the lights at the parking/ turning area of the driveway, most were related to safe access to the house.He considered the rear access likely to be used most often.
