Option # 1 would have a split driveway to 2 flag lots and the Option # 2 would be a short Town Road with a turn around cul-de-sac . Looking at the Town Road alternative, it used up a lot of the area in the two back lots to the point where it did not meet the minimum lot • requirements . In addition, it was an expensive piece of road to build for two (2) lots . 11 /14/05 Planning Board Meeting • After discussion with the owner, it was determined that it was more economical to put in individual driveways separate and one shared drive for the two back lots . A 60 ' water and sewer easement would be given over the top of both poles .
