Subject: 145 Wood Road - new build
Hello Mr Mullin,
I live at 135 Wood Road and received the green notice about site application s-21-003. I met with the
new neighbors several months ago when the story poles went up. I have no specific issues with their
plan, just the usual: increased noise and road traffic from the build, keeping their build traffic from using
my driveway to park or turn around, will it be restricted to 8-5pm, M-F like it was when I built 135
Wood?
In fear of sounding like a broken record, the concern of more traffic on Wood road is that the Meadows
is proposing to close one alternative access point - the only access point, except from Wood Road. I
lived thru the 1997 fire and access was KEY. Again, this is a general comment to anything going on at
Wood Road.
And lastly, it would be nice if the town would repair the town retaining wall adjacent to my driveway -
do let me know if I should submit this to someone else! See picture below. It will only get worse with the
traffic on Wood.
Thank you
Julie Southern
