Planning - I'm good with Dave's assessment below.
 
The overhead wire to the abutting house still needs to be addressed.  DPW has no further comments.

Hi Nell.
 
Attached please find our review comments for the project at 65 Munjoy.  You will note that we haven’t asked for a drainage easement on the adjoining property to the rear of this property. Currently almost the entire paved lot flows to the rear, and onto that adjacent property.  In the Applicant’s proposed site plan, they propose to split that flow (some goes to the front), and almost all the drainage, front and rear, is detained in rain gardens for infiltration, with only the overflow discharging onto the adjacent lot. As such, they are improving the existing condition substantially.  It is fairly common for sites to discharge onto a neighboring site and we haven’t traditionally asked them to get easements unless they are changing the location of or increasing that flow.
 
Thanks
Dave
