PUBLIC MEETING AGENDA
May 17,2005
120 Main Street, 2°d Floor Main, Conference Room
7:00 PM
Discussions:
Olde Salein Village. Alternative Site Plan Layouts
The applicant, Ben Osgood, is before the Planning Board this month to present two alternative
site plans consisting of 37 and 46 total single-family and duplex units (condominiums) for the
Olde Salem Village PRD. He is seeping initial input from the Planning Board on which plan the
Board would prefer and to discuss preliminary issues involving both site plans. Mr. Osgood will
present both alternative plans at the May 17"' meeting.
A Remand has been issued by the court system for Olde Salem Village on May 9, 2005 (see
attached Remand decision). The Remand allows for a relatively short time frame which to open
and close the public hearing and then issue a decision for the site plan (refer to p.2, paragraph 5).
As anticipated, the Planning Board cannot base its decision on whether the plan conforms to the
use or maximum density requirements unless the plan exceeds the allowed 56 dwelling units.
Continued Public Hearings:
01de Salent Village Definitive Subdivision -..- 4 lots
__.........
The applicant is before the Planning Board to continue the process for the 4 lot Definitive ........_..
Subdivision off of Salem Street. The applicant provided responses to VHB's April 27, 2005
comments (see attached Hayes Engineering May 1.0t'letter and VHB's April 2& letter). It
would appear that the majority of VHB's comments have been addressed and required details
added to the Definitive Subdivision plan. The May 10, 2005 responses are currently being
reviewed by VHB. A number of revisions were made to the plans, which include the removal of
the sewer and gas lines from the site:
�0 Response#27 - The proposed sewer has been eliminated from the plan and a.
determination made that subsurface sewage disposal will be used, as the Enviro-One
pumps did not seem to be acceptable to the DPW.
Response#8(12)--The applicant's engineer determined that it was not economically
feasible to run a gas line to the site from the nearest connection point on Rte. 114. Thus,
the gas line was eliminated from the plans.
The applicant will ask:for a waiver from Section 5.2.5.3.2, which requires existing
contours in the subdivision and extending 50' beyond the perimeter of the subdivision.
Y The applicant will discuss whether a street lighting plan will be provided.
The revised plans received on May 11'x'will need to be distributed to Town Departments (i.e.
Conservation, DPW, Fire Department, Health Department) for final comments. Barring any
unforeseen comments or issues from Town Staff or VHB, a decision could be prepared for the
June 7'h Planning Board Meeting.

I am of the understanding that the Fire Department, Conservation Department and Commission,
and DPW approve of the project and that the majority of their issues have been addressed. The
Conservation Commission recently approved the project on May 12, 2005.
At the May 3d meeting, the Planning Board asked for further clarification on whether the
applicant would require a variance from the ZBA for constructing the roadway in the
Conservation Zone (within 75' form the edge of all wetland resources areas). The Zoning
Administrator determined that the work within the Conservation Zone would not require a
variance from the ZBA. Refer to attached memorandum for details.
A draft decision for the Definitive Subdivision, Watershed Special Permits for the Proposed
Roadway and Single-Family House will be ready for approval for the June 7, 2005 Planning
Board meeting. As directed by the Planning Board, the verbiage of said decisions will
incorporate detailed language and conditions for the privatization and maintenance of the 500'+
paved roadway, utilities, hydrant, drainage; snow removal plan; easement documentation and
restrictions to protect the abutting wetlands. The Town Planner will work with the applicant to
draft such language.
