46 1429 Os ood Street Oliver Enterprise: Informal discussion related to architectural details
47 M. Greer: Provided overview of the project and explained intent to get the Board's thoughts on the proposed
48 architectural details and noted Section 16.6(Design Standards)encouraged the use of traditional New England
49 architectural elements.
50 J. Simons: Assumed that a new building would be built with New England architecture. In this case,the building
51 is underutilized. Having something nicer there versus the building as-is is an improvement.
52 Jeff Oliver Owner: Described project as consisting of fagade and landscaping improvements, Tose will be mix of
53 office space with rear contractor yard. Seeking a tenant for the front office portion. The building has been semi-
54 abandoned for a period of time and needs upgrading. We are not adding square footage. We are in the process of
55 submitting a permit application.
56 John Cavency, Project Architect, Cavency Architects and Construction: Briefly described the design explaining
57 the two main objectives for the design are to modernize the CMU building and make it suitable for occupancy by
58 modernizing the fay:ade; opening it up to the street with a new entrance and large windows. Described conceptual
59 design and materials. Provided handouts and exterior photo, design materials(cementitious board, glass and
60 vertical metal panels), basis for conceptual design, plan and building elevations.
61 J. Oliver: The roof needs to be redone; considering rooftop solar panels on one third of the roof. The road sits
62 high; the building sits low on the lot; Mechanicals will be located on the ground, if possible.The desired design
63 introduces more light into the building. The building is currently serviced by electric heat,the owner has applied
64 for a perinit to bring in a gas line in.
65 J. Luz: Our new solar bylaw is very encouraging of getting more solar renewable energy installations in town.
66 T.J. Caroll, Owner's Business partner: Our intent is to make the entrances stand out;the building is very drab; we
67 want to provide new sidewalks and landscaping.

69 Annual Town Meeting: Potential Zoning Amendment Warrant Articles:
70
71 127 Marblehead Street: J. Enright noted the map has been adjusted (GB surrounded by R4).
72 Wireless Bow: The Article has been adjusted to reflect 500 ft, abutter notification v. 300 ft.
73 Bylaw Codification Effort: The'Town Manager is submitting the warrant article. A draft is provided for tonight..
74 The changes consist of renumbering and non-substantive corrections. J. Enright reviewed several of the
75 corrections; the Board noted that some edits may need explanation. This document will be available at the Clerk's
76 Office.
77 505 Sutton Street:
78 J.Enright: Board requested more detailed information on other B2 parcels at the last meeting. A memo was
79 submitted E. Kfoury and was included in the Board packet.
80 E. Kfoury: Presented logistics of the proposed Article addressing specific issues, (1) applicability of Section 7.4
81 (6); the three parcels in question, amount to slightly more than 4.5 acres; the language in the bylaw states the 5
82 acres land area has to be for the use of residential, meaning if you take an acre for the senior center and parking
83 area that amounts to approx. 3.5 acres—the land used for another use cannot count toward an alternate use to meet
84 the current 5 acre land area requirement; (2) referring back to the specific sizes of each of the individual pat-eels in
85 the B2 District and the consequences of reducing the minimum land area.A conservative number was assumed for

86 the proposed project. 'Suggested 3.0-3.25 acres for the residential component. (3)In looking at the B2 areas, most
87 are single parcels, a couple could be amassed or connected for a residential use. One area,with four contiguous
88 parcels is located at the airport, It is in the flight path and is subject to FAA requirements.
89 E. Goldberg: Interprets Section 7.4 (6)differently; in this proposal,the waiver is for the residential building and
90 not the senior center,you could get the waiver for residential use. Does not see anything stating the use has to be 5
91 acres.
92 E.E. Kfoury: Town Counsel has reviewed this; there is something in the bylaw that was referenced when this was
93 determined, This will be parceled into two distinct parcels. You're going to have a 3.5 acres for the residential use.
94 You will no longer have 4.5 acres.
95 J. Luz: Even when you add these parcels, it still does not add up to 5 acres; agrees it should be reduced to a smaller
96 size,
97 P. Boynton: Asked which parcels are in the watershed?We are potentially opening up more sites,by taking away
98 the 5 acre requirement.Are there other potential consequences we might want to consider for extra care, i.e.their
99 location in the watershed. We should not assume the FAA will eliminate them on our behalf;perhaps we should
100 know the elevation restrictions for each of these addresses, otherwise we exclude them.
101 E. Goldberg: We can carve out the watershed; i.e. consider that an applicant cannot get a waiver in the watershed.
102 E. Kfoury to cont wrm flight path restricted sites.
)3 T. Enright: The deadline to submit the warrant article is before the next meeting. There is an associated map
104 amendment article.
105 Rachel Scern, 19 Surrey Drive& Colleen Jackson,25 Surrey: Presented modified site plan with notes of
106 concern for privacy and requests for site plan changes. Ms. Scerry requested that the height and type of
107 replacement trees be defined and a traffic analysis be completed. Board stated that if this passes at Town Meeting
108 such items will be addressed during the permitting review process.
1.09 E. Kfoury: Estimated the Special Permitting process at the end of the year.
110 E.Goldber : Expects that the town will reach out to the neighbors since this project involves a public/private
111 partnership.
112 MOTION: J. Simons moved to recommend the zoning amendment Article for Town Meeti.ngto reflect 3 acres
113 subject to the exclusion of parcels in the watershed and airport flight paths. A. Preston seconded. The vote was,
114 5-0, unanimous in favor..
115
