454-456 Granite Street
At a glance
- What: definitive site plan (PB-2026-047) for a single-family house at 454-456 Granite Street, near Route 20, on slopes over 15% with a rear wetland.
- Where it stands: Planning Board approved 5-0 on 2026-08-26 (per auto-captions).
- Next: applicant to seek an amended Conservation Commission order for the single-family design.
The proposal
- Single-family house with two-car garage on a wooded lot; septic system (no sewer), dry-well roof drainage, 8-inch water line; porous block retaining wall with weep holes at the rear.
- Originally a two-family with two hammerheads; staff could not make parking and turnaround work without cars backing onto Granite Street, so it became a single family.
- Conservation Commission approved the original; applicant returns for an addendum.
