Thanks Brennan. We believe planning board punted to ZBA for good reason (whether we agree or not
with their decision) so it’s our strategy now to do what planning board asked and seek a variance via
ZBA. Hopefully we can resolve on 5/21. Thanks for following up.
I should have land owners consent today or tomorrow. I spoke with him today.
Thanks!
Chris.

the opinion of the City Solicitor that applications for a curb cut should either be obtained via a Variance
request to the Zoning Board of Appeals or an amendment to the Planning Board decision. This is
because Kimball Road is a private way rather than a public way, meaning the plans have changed since
initial Planning Board approval. However, the ultimate decision on where to apply is up to the petitioner.
