From the minutes
“TD - move the hashtags that says no parking and allow it to become a parking space on Bradford. DG - We need to make sure we can fit a vehicle there. We painted lines there because of concern of cars being parked over the shoulder. Where the hedge is broken you could get a vehicle there. Chair Venden - How would we state that and how particular and specific would we be in terms of timing? DG --You could request that it be done at the same time and we could ensure that the building commissioner confirm that it has been done and we would paint in next year. Further discussion covered when the Applicant planned to make one curb cut and abandon the other and when they felt they would have a plan to make the changes. And Chair Venden noted that even when it says no parking people will park and it is dangerous due to limited visibility. Public Input - Vice Chair Donegan read a letter, that came in late, into the record that requested the Select Board deny due to concerns about the congestion of the intersection and lack of visibility coming up the hill toward Bradford..” (Motion: Donegan)
