PUBLIC HEARINGS

CONTINUED PUBLIC HEARING, 1077 Osgood Street: Application for a Watershed Special
13
Permit and Site Plan Review Special Permit. Applicant proposes to construct a 3,672 sq. ft.
14
single story retail bank, parking lot, and stormwater structures within the Non-Discharge Zone
15
and Non-Disturbance Zone of the Watershed Protection District.
16
J. Tymon: Changes have been made to the traffic plan. Peer reviews were just received today
17
for the civil, traffic, and stormwater. There are still some major issues in regards to stormwater.
18
The entire project is within the Watershed Protection District and it is within the DEP Zone A.
19
Infiltration is not allowed within Zone A. The quality and quantity of water entering the Lake
20
cannot degrade. There has to be 80% Total Suspended Solids (TSS) removal. The Town’s peer
21
reviewer has stated that the particular underground detention storage systems on the plan does
22
not provide for 80%. A meeting is scheduled next Tuesday with the applicant and L. Eggleston
23
to discuss the stormwater management plan.
24
Richard Barthelmes, Lynnfield Engineering: The site has been re-designed and re-reviewed
25
since the last meeting. Reviewed the changes to the traffic plan and the responses to the peer
26
review comments. The return lane on the previous plan has been eliminated, the project has
27
shifted to the east, and the handicap parking in now adjacent to the building. A truck turning
28
analysis will be provided.
29
BOARD: Questioned whether the width of bypass lane is adequate, if the queue at the drive-
30
through would obstruct cars from backing out of the parking spaces, whether the parking spaces
31
closest to the entrance of the bank parking lot would provide enough space for a car to back out
32
without obstructing the flow of traffic from RT 125 into the plaza, and if the stop sign and hard
33
right turn at the end of the entrance lane to the Butcher Boy plaza would cause a queue of traffic
34
that could back up to RT 125.
35
R. Barthelmes: Some of the parking spaces closest to the entrance of the bank parking lot may
36
be eliminated. A parking analysis for the entire plaza was completed and the parking needs have
37
been met with some additional parking spaces added to the rear of the market for employee use.
38
J. Simons: Requested the Town Planner provide the Board’s feedback on traffic and parking
39
concerns to the peer reviewer.
40
R. Barthelmes: Reviewed the proposed changes to the stormwater management system and
41
stated that a meeting with L. Eggleston is scheduled next week to try to come to an agreement on
42
what will satisfy the requirements for the Town and DEP. All of the stormwater on the existing

site flows to the Merrimack River. The existing detention pond only collects water that falls into
44
it. The intent of the detention pond was that if the piping system surcharged it would handle the
45
flow.
46
R. Barthelmes: There are architectural renderings in the submitted plan set that will be reviewed
47
at the next meeting. The landscaping plan consists of two large planted beds on each side of the
48
site entrance, planted beds around the building, an area of shrubs around the existing detention
49
basin will be removed, and new trees will be planted along Great Pond Road. A versa lock
50
retaining wall will be constructed. Pictures and a design plan will be provided at the next
51
meeting. The wall is 7’ high with 12”-16” below grade.
