PT,ANS NO~ RE~IRING APPROVAL:
1 - NM. T. HYDE, JR., Forest St. - John Calla~, Eng., representing. Plan dated Na~
1980 showing lots 1-4. This is part of 15 acres and part of an over all land use plan
drawn up by Oallahan. The petitioner wants to c~ntrol the balance of his 15 acres.
Motion by Monteiro and second by Roberts to endorse the plan as not requiring approval
under subdivisic~ control law. Unan. vote.
L. MINICUCCI, JR., SPECIAL P~NIT WATERS~m~I DISTRICT - Continued Public Hearing.' new
plans were presented. The driveway line was moved to the lo~ line smd of the 150 ft.
about 10 ft. falls within the "no cut" zone. There would be nothA,g we would be forced
to cut that would violate the statute, stated Atty. Cagle. He had not contacted the
Con. Com. as yet.
Susan St. Pierre requested that the driveway Be staked where it is goi~ to intersect
and the BOARD will view the site. The balance of info requested was not sul~nitted.
Bill Driscoll, abutter, felt that the plan was hiding alot of the facts and repeated
testimony giv~ at previ~as hearing. He contends that the lot is nothing but 'a drainage
swale and the total dr~age from the upper hill includ~ing Minicucci's present lot
and his ~ lot ends up in this area. The By-Law reads that you c~-~ot cut within 25
ft. of a tributary.
Motion then made l~j RoBerts to continue the public hearing until Nay 19th and at that
time make a determination as to whether the "no cut" zone is being violated. AlsO,
at that time, advise the petitioner whether he should continue with this project or not.
The new plans should be distributed to the different departments. Second by DiTore.
Board to view the site. Cagle's statement was ~b~t no o~e should ~e penalized because
his property drains onto someone else's. "I have engineers that assure me that any
drainage problems can be corrected up there and we ask that you further consider this."
The vote on the motion was unanimous. The Chairman noted that the ~OARD is in receipt
of an additional letter from the Con. Com. which is on file.
~ LANE (BARDTCOE[RT ESTATE~): Bond Amount - J. Warliok present. Letter from Cyr
dated Nay 5, 1980 recommending $136,0OO (1650 ft. of road). Borgesi's figure was
given orally as $36,400. Warlick tOld those present that he w~uld most likely present
a mortgage bond. M~tien lry Monteiro to notify Warlick that the Bo~y Lane Bond amount
is as above, in total = $172,400; BPW amount subject to confirmation in writing.
Second by DiTore and unanimous vote.
PLANNING BOARD DISCUSSIC~{: PRESCOTT ST. DEVELOPMENT - The Planner stated that it is
unfortunate that Mm. Hedstrom is not present because he was going to gather information
relative to this project for presentation to the BOARD. George S~ern, Con. Com., stated
that there is a letter from Atty. Schiavoni dated Apr. 24 which states that they are
going to go ahead and work on the project but stay away from the wetlands. Also, a
letter from the state which s~ates they can go ahead provided they stay a~r~y from the
wetlands and there is or will be an Order of Conditions_ forthcoming. Evidently there
is a new plan which we have not seen, Stern added. The BOAI~D had not received a new
pla~. Schiavoni explained that they modified their original dra~ plans and that the
BOARD must recall those plans. ~tern commented that the Con. Com. is not opposed to the
project but w~nts to see it done right. BOARD decided to write to Schiavoni and request
a copy of the new plans. Roberts requested Susan St. Pierre to contact the state and
inform them that we are not even aware of what is going on out there. Chepulis volun-
teered to call the state. Susan advised that the BOARD could issue a stop work order due
to the fa~t that this is not in conformance with our approved plan.
a) AI~DREW CIRCLE REALTY TRUST RE SCO~T'3 PC~D ELEVATI(N - letter dated April ~9, ~980
on file stating they are able to meet ~03.2' elevation and asking for tentative approval.
Letter d~ted May 2, 2980 from Con. Com. to A.C.R.T,, copy on file. They do not approve
of the 103.2' and requested ttmt Item 12, elevation of 104.5' be complied with.
b) MVPC RE LTA TIME - copy of letter written to 2kl. of Selectmen was read which indicated
MVPO's desire to have the Selectmen authorize LTA time. Monteiro stated that according
to the by-laws of the Commission and ~ regulations, the Pl~_~_ning 3o~rd is the agency
authorized to perform this duty. Roberts felt we should write to them with a copy to the
Selectmen and made a motion to notif~ aladstone, MVPC, that we feel they have exceeded
their authority and do not agree with their vote to have aaron sign off on L~A time.
If there is any difficulty in obtaining signatures or authorization to notify the Planning
Board to ensure that the request is processed. Copy to Selectmen. Monteiro seconded.
~wton Osgoed elaborated that the intent was not to by-pass anybody but to make the whole
process work a little more smoothly. I don't objeOt to however you want to do it, he
added, just want the time to be allocated fairly arid that everybody knows what is going
on. Roberts interjected that his motion had no r~flection on Gayton. It was determined
by all that the letter was poorly written. UnanimOUs vote on motion.
Note: Joyce DiTcre receivez the minutes of MVPC and the A-95's which she t~rns over to
Susan S~t. Pierre.
SCOTT'S P~D: Scott Follansbee asked if some of t~e members of this BOARD could atte~ud
the Con. Com. meeting on ~ed. night; Cyr will be t~ere. He reiterated that at the defini-
tive sta~e they submitted two drainage plans, one at 102 and one at 10~.5 which were
reviewed by the BOARD. ~yr preferred that you go along with the one you did, the Con. Com.
would like to see the alternate drainage plan; we could maintain the 104 elevation with
the alternate plan with the alter-~tive pipe; the situation is in abeyance right now and
if we can move it along locally, then fine. Did n~t object holding it off until Thurs.
Monteiro personally would go along if the Con. Com. I and Highway Surveyor are in agreement.
S~ern said he would like to keep it on a local leve~; if Scott goes ahead with ~he appeal
then we lose control. It seems as though it can bel done, but they don't a~ree with Cyr
yet. The Planner stated that at the last on-site inspection the Con. Com. agreed that they
would try to compromise if the Planning Board wouldi also and now it seems that we are Back
at the beginning again. S~ern said they had met wi~h F. ~elinas and discussed the 103.2.
James Lafond, Con. 0om. member~ expressed the feelings of his dept. by s~at~g that the
103 ~ould not adequately protect the water table or the interests of the ~etlands Act.
George Stern also mentioned wells in the area and that lowering the water table would
adversely affect them. He then introduced Lafond, John Splendore, and Dick Doherty the
Co~mission's new members.
~ud CFr stated that his opinion had not changed - if they can't mee~ the drainage require-
ments, thenfdrop the pond. Scott felt that with the ~% grade on the pipes, etc. they can
accomplish it at 103.2. Oyr concerned with the well-being of the subdivision being more
important th~u ~. difference in the pond elevation, i Splendors stated that the 10~o~ was
not at all arbitrary and very conservative. Scott ~entioned that the problem is at the
