Mr . Rowley then made reference t-o the Phase III Plan, two-foot contours , Making an observation from Phase II, he noted the majority of garages had been built very close to the road, buildings, or grade changes had been made.. In some oases the transition between the floor of the garage and the roadway was difficult . Some of the approaches into the garages were very steep, and garage orientation was difficult to negotiate. The -same situation appears to exist on Phase III of this project . Mr. Rowley spoke to the intensity of the project and grading/drainage difficulties, stating he would reqire more detail as the- tight density has confined the project in this phase. He expressed concern about being able to report to the Planning Board regarding the finished grades and adequate drainage.
