The Planning Board unanimously waived site-plan review and approved an AHRB resolution for a ground-level deck at 21 Summit Terrace on April 2.
Michael McGarvey (licensed engineer, speaker 3) presented the project as a like-for-like replacement: an on-grade deck using pressure-treated wood on concrete piers with wood railings. Building staff confirmed no site-plan review was necessary and recommended the plans note that the deck will be stained to match the house.
The board moved to waive site-plan approval and adopted the AHRB resolution that approves construction of a ground-level deck subject to the plan set referenced in the resolution (dated 10/16/2025 in the transcript). The building department and planning staff will confirm final drawing notes and permit requirements during building-permit review.
