Town Hall, 1208 Main Street
7:00 PM
444 S.Haiiar: Stated he has spoken with an attorney who has expressed interest from a couple of clients that
445 tie is dealing with already. There is not any specific restaurant in mind at this point. If this is approved at
446 Town Meeting we would still have to go through all the normal permitting process. This is only a
447 proposal for an idea that would perhaps jumpstart the CDD I district
448 R.Rowers: Is this the first time you are proposing combining two properties in the zone?;
449 S.Hajjar: Not really. Stated that he understands it is the goal of the CDD1 district to encourage smaller'
450 lots to combine with others,reducing the number of curb cuts off Rt. 114 in order to lessen traffic
451 congestion. This does that.From an enterprise perspective it is necessary to combine two lots together to
452 get what we have
453 R.Rowen: The proposed building looks to be smaller than the footprint of the two houses that are theme.'
454 The Board discussed the increased foot traffic in the area. Suggested that,if this is approved at Town
455 Meeting,the walking access to the area be looped at
456 J. Simons: Requested architectural drawings of what_a proposed building may look like and aletter
457 stating that they would covenant a certain look and feel for the building.l
458 T. Seibert: Proposed that if this project goes forward the State be engaged to see if traffic lanes and
459 walkways could be improved upon;
460 J. Tymon: Suggested she could contact Mass Highway to determine if they have future improvement
461 plans for this area?
462 J. Simons: We will vote this at the next meeting.
463 J. Tymon Requested a copy of the site plats that was reviewed with the Board.

465 DISCUSSIQI�t
466 607 Turnpike Street: Proposed dog grooming business:
467 J. Tymon: the applicant,Patty McCrudden,has a dog grooming business and is currently located across
468 the street. This location is in the CDD 1 district and is a residential home. The only exterior changes
469 would be minor changes to the driveway that would accommodate some additional parking.
470 Patty McCrudden: Has been operating a dog grooming business at 647 Turnpike Street for the past six
471 months. The hours are Monday—Saturday 8:00am until 6:00pm. Would like to put down some crushed
472 stone to add two or three parking spaces to the proposed new location. The lease at 647 Turnpike runs
473 through October 2013.. Would like to complete some interior build-out at the new location before then.
474 MOTION

476 waiver for the file. The motion was seconded by T. Seibert. The vote was unanimous.
477
478 59 Bonn, Lane: Request for a Watershed Special Permit waiver.
479 J. T mon: The applicant has an existing flagstone patio and would like to replace it with a su nroom that
480 would have a smaller footprint. This is in the non-discharge zone,however, it is outside of the non-
481 disturb zone. Reviewed examples of Watershed Special Permits recently issued.
482 J. Simons: The difference between the waivers reviewed and this request is that this project is 200 feet
483 from the lake and the others probably at least a mile from the lake.
484 Jay Salem,representing the applicant: A wooden insulated deck would be constructed where the patio is
485 and a four season sunroom would be built on it. It would have two down spouts and a gutter system
486 around the unit. There will be less impervious surface than what is currently there. Described the
487 installation process for the posts that would be screwed into the ground. Excavation will not be required.
188 R. Rowen: Recommended that if the waiver is approved erosion control should still be required.
489 J. Try non: Erosion control and inspections can be required with the waiver.
