As the notice prints it

The proposed action is to construct a new concrete driveway, turnaround area, and landscaping, portions of which would be located on the applicant’s residential and conservation properties. These improvements would replace the existing unpermitted gravel/concrete driveway and landscaping. The improvements would provide access to the rear portion of the applicant’s R-10 property and would bring the project into regulatory compliance. Additionally, the new concrete driveway would offer better access to the conservation parcel, which could aid emergency personnel, if needed.
