The area is paved and there 27 will not be any additional runoff. 28 Bill MacC leod, Andover Consultants: Reviewed the site layout, access, and egress for the 29 hanger.

The 41 proposed access to the two new homes is via parallel driveways to the east of the existing 42 1 PLANNING BOARD Meeting Minutes Tuesday, August 7, 2012 Town Hall, 120 Main Street 7:00 PM home. The proposed layout would preserve the existing views, most of the trees, and the 43 masonry walls. The proposed home locations are in the conservation buffer zone. This 44 layout plan would require waivers from the Subdivision Rules and Regulations and an 45 approval of the Conservation Commission. 46 R. Rowen: Asked if the views of the abutter will be affected. 47 T. Zahoruiko: Did not think so; however, will look into it. 48 J. Tymon: Communicated issues that the Conservation Administrator believes the 49 Conservation Commission will have with the proposed layout, including the location of the 50 homes and the amount of impervious service being added for the driveways. This parcel is 51 not in the Watershed, it drains to Stevens Pond. 52 The Board discussed the amount of impervious service that would be added due to the 53 length of the driveways and common driveways vs. the proposed two parallel driveways. 54 T. Zahoruiko: Requested the Board visit the site to get a better idea of the site features and 55 what he is trying to maintain. 56 R. Rowen: Asked that the features that T. Zahoruiko is trying to protect be hi-lighted on a 57 plan. Stated that the sense for tonight is that going this route, working out the details, will 58 probably be a preferable solution vs. a conventional subdivision. 59 60 Appleton Street PRD Subdivision: Pre-application discussion. 61 J. Tymon: This subdivision is comprised of 3 lots, approximately 21 acres of land. There is 62 an existing home on 464 Appleton St. which has frontage on Blue Ridge Rd. and Grapevine 63 Rd. Grapevine Rd. is an undeveloped road. The proposed subdivision would be a PRD with 64 eleven lots. The Open Space would consist of three separate, non-contiguous parcels. One 65 of the parcels is mostly wetlands. 66 R. Rowen: Expressed that he would like to see the development break through to the 67 developed portion of Appleton Street. 68 Phil Christiansen, Christiansen and Sergi, Inc: In the mid-1980s there was a small 69 subdivision approved for Grapevine Rd. that was never developed. Presented a 70 Preliminary Conventional Subdivision Proof Plan, Roadway Profile Plan, and Preliminary 71 PRD Subdivision Plan for “Regency Place”. The subdivision is partially in the R-3 zoning 72 district and the R-1 zoning district. It is extremely steep from the end of the proposed cul- 73 de-sac to the developed portion of Appleton Street. 74 R. Rowen: Would like provisions made for an extension all the way through to Appleton 75 Street. 76 J. Tymon: There was a condition in the previously approved subdivision for this location 77 that Appleton Street be extended. 78 Phil Chistiansen: Reviewed utility access. The subdivision would be on Town sewer and 79 water. This would be a low-impact development. A roadway profile connecting Grapevine 80 Rd. to Appleton St. will be provided at the Preliminary hearing. 81 82 440 Great Pond Road: Vegetation Clearing/Watershed Special Permit. 83 2 PLANNING BOARD Meeting Minutes Tuesday, August 7, 2012 Town Hall, 120 Main Street 7:00 PM J. Tymon: This home has been under construction for a long time. Schuyler Vicnaire, Land 84 Cleaners, is requesting to do some brush clearing and dead tree clearing. A plan with the 85 Non-Disturb and Non-Discharge areas identified has been reviewed with Schuyler. The 86 house is being built in the General Zone. The property has a lot of over-grown evasive and 87 it needs to be cleaned out. Vegetation cutting is allowed by Special Permit. They just want 88 to clean up the area, no tree cutting. The property abuts the Waste Water Treatment Plant. 89 The intake pipe for the plant is right next to this property. 90 R. Rowen: The purpose of the non-disturb zone was so that we weren’t excavating and 91 putting in foundations or drainage features in this area. It didn’t mean that after a house 92 was established that it could not be maintained. It was to avoid run-off going into the lake. 93 If the proposed work is not increasing run-off and it is just maintenance of the property it 94 should not require a Special Permit. 95 Schuyler Vicnaire, Land Cleaners: Provided an overview and location of the proposed 96 maintenance work. Stated that there will not be any tree removal or excavation. 97 MOTION: 98 A motion was made by L. Rudnicki to approve the vegetation clearing at 440 Great Pond 99 Road that it does not require a Special Permit per the scope discussed tonight; clearing and 100 maintenance of the vegetation with no tree removal or excavation of the property. The 101 motion was seconded by D. Kellogg. The vote was unanimous. 102 103 MEETING MINUTES: Approval of July 17, 2012. 104 MOTION 105 A motion was made by D. Kellogg to approve the July 17, 2012 meeting minutes. The 106 motion was seconded by L. Rudnicki. The vote was unanimous. 107 108 ADJOURNMENT 109 MOTION: 110 A motion was made by L.
