The stonewall cuts now narrowed to 24 feet will be 1/2 of what was originally going to be removed. The original cuts on the driveways were 52-56 feet; was narrowed to 36 feet; and now are 24 feet. In regard to the giant retaining wall, the builder has approached the owner and is contemplating a granite look veneer which will be much more attractive and when completed, with the return of the berm (which was dug out to put in the wall) and the backfill, only 3 to 4 feet of the wall will be visible. Mr. Houston suggested that maybe a shelf needs to be built to hold the veneer in place on the wall. Kathy McCormack of 396 York Street stated that DPW should see the site distance and shouldn't the Board of Health be looking at this wall. She also asked if there was a height requirement on the wall. Mr. McCarthy stated that this wall is on private property and when completed only three (3) feet of the wall will show.
