If you must know you can always go to town hall. The plans are on file there and are open for the public to look at. |

Yeah, I was wondering the same thing. It looks like they are creating a front with a porch but none of the opening are tall enough for a door. I wonder if that is temporary and they plan to cut out the widest opening, which looks like it could handle a door, later to make it taller. |

That's exactly what happened. It looks like they cut the opening larger for a door and have put windows on the rest. |

I know that I am enjoying watching this house going up. Plus, it has retored the streetscape. A parking lot was somewhat of an eyesore to the main street. This will be a welcome addtion. |

Agreed. I do see where from the side view it can look a bit like one of the Liedtke homes in scale. I suspect they will plant a bunch of trees on that side after it's done to block it from the driveway once they mature and eventually you'll barely perceive the house from the side. |

The label "House on bank lot" is as incorrect as some of the second guessing of the posters.
Thank goodness, there is no ugly "bank lot." PNC left Main Street some time ago to set up digs on Route 130 which is less conventiently located.
The questions posed by some folks at partial stages of completion of the building reflect a bias against the project. It appears that nothing built at that location would satisfy the nay sayers.
Look back in time at the beautiful homes that were torn down to make a parking lot!!!!
Anything is better than colonial blacktop. |

And what makes you feel so strongly and defensive about this house? Not just "anything" is better than a parking lot, at least the parking lot was not intrusive, and it was useful. Stand in the lot behind the house and look down the side of it at the juxtaposition of the tiny Main St. house across the street, and then tell us again that you think it fits perfectly in our town. |

Read it again Maplewood Avenue guy! A typical attack on what was not written. Also, typical of those who are now deprived of their private, off- the-street free parking and are sore about defeat in their battle against development of private property.

Maplewood Ave guy should have been this vocal when the Blue Rooster went to the planning board for approval. A new restaurant with no parking is rediculous. Goodbye parking on Main and Scott. |

The Blue Rooster was supposed to share parking with its neighbor behind their two buildings. |

The dentist owned the whole property where his drive and lot is located. I attended the PB meetings and at no time was sharing of the lot discussed nor could it have been since the PB cannot tell one property owner to share their land with another. |

OK Mr. Smug wine drinking Main St. guy, you just refuse to understand what is being discussed here. Parking is not the issue right now and "was not written about", it is the blatant disregard of our town and streetscape by people who have millions of dollars who think they can just move in and tell us what they are going to do, and then our HPC and zoning say oh yes, you are more important than all of the hard work that volunteers have put in to protect our town from people like you. |

Why did the PB allow it if there was never any parking? That would never happen anywhere else. |

Have another beer, Maplewood guy. Sober up and enjoy the construction. It might look better in the morning. |
