<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Tahoma",sans-serif">I'm looking for examples of local bylaws or policies regulating the number of residential curb cuts per parcel. Our DPW did have a sort of policy allowing only 1 curb cut per residential lot
but they are now approving plans, most recently with 3 curb cuts - 2 driveways for a new duplex and 1 driveway for a new ADU - on 75' of frontage, and this site plan will be replicated on the adjacent lot as well. I'm very much in favor of the increased density
but not super psyched about the lack of site plan creativity, which the Planning Board has no authority to deny. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
