January 8, 2025 Planning Board Regular Meeting Minutes

e Since there are no additional employees, the site doesn’t require additional parking. e In terms of desirable visual impact, the architect showed that you are only going to see a very small portion of the new addition from the street. ¢ In terms of the negative criteria, in the planners’ opinion, there is no substantial detriment to the public good and there is no substantial impediment of the zone planner of the zoning ordinance. BOARD QUESTIONS e Ms. Scarpa asked given that a lot of the area downtown is in a flood zone, would it help mitigate that by planting more trees with a deeper root system in front of the property. Mr. Crespo said that after speaking with the forester, Mr. Kip, he did not want the deep- rooted trees there.
