Burney noted in the Use Table that motels were by right in the Comme rcial District and he believed the Board would prefer motels to be by special permit. The subject would be added to the next Board agenda. Common driveways were by right in Lunenburg if it met the stated criteria. As A. Burney researched surrounding com munities, he found many required special permits for common driveways. The Board needed to find a balance of w hat it felt was reasonable. If it chose to continue with the by right, it could incorporate more specificity into the construction. Over the past few years, common driveways in Lunenburg caused more trepidation than benefit. Would the Board be open to more than two lots on a common driveway? A. Burney pointed out that a fee could be set for common driveways. Discussion would continue at future Board meetings.
