177 Main Street townhouse development

The developer with DHB Homes argued the height stays 35 feet either way, garages prevent parking congestion, and the units are marketed to families; he offered to work with abutters.

Direct abutter read a letter arguing no hardship exists, privacy would be lost, and no abutter was notified of the 2024 hearing.

Read a letter from abutter Mr. Applestein claiming his notification rights were disregarded and asking the Board not to make the construction any larger.

Explained the mail carrier claimed 'no access to delivery' for four houses, leaving no sticker, and that no one at the Town or post office could explain what happened.

Abutter concerned that more rooms mean more children, less parking, and more traffic, and doubted the 10-foot buffer would help.
