RE: Curb cut application for 55 Mt. Pleasant Street, Cambridge
Please find attached an application for a curb cut for the house at 55 Mt. Pleasant Street, Cambridge (Walden Street side). Included with the application are:
- a plot plan drawn to scale showing the proposed location and dimensions of the curb cut, which will give access to a proposed short driveway and parking for one car under the house
- sign-off forms from all 9 abutters (8 of them resident owners) showing no disapprovals
I believe the proposed curb cut meets all siting and dimensional requirements. If a building permit is later approved for the driveway and parking under the house, the open space of the lot will exceed 50% even after completion of the driveway. Also, the Cambridge Historical Commission has said there is no historical protection for the property, and I know of no neighborhood association covering this property.
Thank you.
