Committee members provided the following comments:
• Will this project include a cellar? Currently, there are discussions about potentially
changing the definition of what a cellar/basement is.
• The committee wants to see a more detailed information on the slope. The lot seems
too steep; development should be in areas of less than 30% slope within the LRDA.

• There is an issue that the size of the project is too big, there are restrictions beyond the
maximum FAR.
• How much do you have to cut and fill? Cut and fill quantities would be useful.
• Is the proposed zone change supportable? Without the zone change, the house is not
buildable.
• The Town is sensitive to the hillside properties; it is advised to really pay attention to the
Hillside Development Standards and Guidelines.
