Grading: proposed grades are up to the maximum 2:1 slopes allowed. The proposed driveway grades comply with Town standards.
Parking: The four garage and the four surface parking spaces conform with the required four.
Snow Storage: Submitted plans show snow storage area equal to the minimum standard of 20% of the proposed impermeable surface area.
Landscaping: Both formal landscaping areas and re-vegetation of the disturbed areas with native bushes should be provided in the rear of the building. There are a significant number

alteration of existing topography.
