The applicants, Trevor and Meg Hayden, described prior damage from hydrant repair and vine removal. The board required the new section to match the existing north-side wall in appearance and to maintain clearance around the hydrant, with a semicircular layout. Applicants will submit photos after completion.
The board also heard a short update on Master Plan work, including the open-space plan and the first housing roundtable, with a second roundtable scheduled for October 6. April 22 and May 13 minutes were approved without changes.
