a. Useable Open Space Requirements
The applicant has not designated the required 20%useable open space as required in Section
11.5(3) Useable Open Space,which states:
"Useable Opera Space.In all PDD's, at least twenty percent (20%) of the land shall be set aside
as permanent usable open space,for the use of the PDD residents, or for all PDD users, or-fort
the comnrunio,. The required open space shall be conveyed to the Conservation Connnission or to
a non-profit conservation organization, or to a coipor'atlon to trust representingpersons
responsible for the PDD, and shall be protected by a conservation restfiction as required b3? G.L.
Chapter 40,4, Section 9 for cornnron open space in cluster developments. A covenant shall be
placed on the land such that no part of the PDD can be built, sold or occupied until such time as
a satisfactory written agreement has been executed forprotection of the open space. "
At the present time, the master plan for the entire project is still somewhat conceptual. The
applicant would prefer not to designate the open space and create a conservation restriction on the
property until they appear before the Planning Board with the Master Plan. Planning Staff
recommends (1) the applicant designate a portion of the known open space totaling 20%on the
property to meet this requirement and(2)placing a condition in the decision stating that the
applicant shall designate the open space as part of the Definitive PDD application for Phase 11.
Setback Requirements—The applicant meets the required setback requirements of the district,
which states:
"Setback Requirernews. Insofar as the PDD abuts a residential district., all proposed structures
and facilities within the PDD shall be set back not less than tnventy-five (25)feet from adjacent
property lines or adjacent street lines inhere the PDD shall be separated or shielded f•om
adjacent property lines by means of a buffer,fencing, setbacks, or appropriate landscaping."
General Comments:
➢ Waiver of Zoning Bylaw, Section 4.2 Phased Development—The applicant requests that since the
Project represents one portion of a Phased Plan in itself, that the Planning Board grant the
applicant the required waiver in order to allow the construction,marketing, and occupation of the
proposed twenty units to be aligned with the anticipated absorption of the residentiaL units within
the twelve-month period following the construction of the units. See Page 3 of 10, Application
For Definitive PDD Special Permit for detailed explanation.
➢ Planning Staff and the applicant have spoken with the DPW and Police Departments regarding
the issue of the 4 way stop sign and pedestrian crosswalks located. Both Departments are not in
favor of a 4 way stop sign located at the intersection of Water and high Street citing safety
concerns for vehicles and pedestrians.
Recommendations:
Planning Staff has no major concerns/issues with the Definitive Planned Development District
Submission as it meets the minimum requirements of Sections 8.3, 10.3, and 11. If the Planning Board
deems the application complete,Planning Staff would recommend closing the Public Hearing and
directing staff to draft a decision.

GENERAL COMMENTS:
I. In 1984,the Zoning Board of Appeals approved a Special Permit under Section 4.11(3) limiting the
parking structure to two levels. To modify the ZBA Special Permit decision and allow the 5-story
residential building to proceed, the applicant would be required to appear before the ZBA. The other
option the applicant is currently considering would be to appear before Town Meeting to modify the
IS district and extend the zoning boundary to the edge of the property boundary. Currently the IS
zoning boundary extend to the rear of the parking structure. The remainder of the property is located
within the Residential 4 Zoning District. The applicant and their legal representatives are strategizing
to determine the best course of action to move forward with this phase of the project.
Upon the approval of the preliminary design, the applicant will proceed with the definitive plan
design application with a modified phasing plan. RCG will focus their efforts on the current mill
buildings and the 38-unit residential building. The construction of the proposed 98-unit residential
structure will occur(pending the outcome of special permit modification or town meeting vote) as
one of the final stages of the Master Plan. During the definitive plan design stage,RCG will continue
to work with the neighborhood groups to design a residential building that addresses their concerns
and creates architectural elements and features that fit within the visual landscape of the downtown,
Machine Shop Village, and the abutting neighborhoods.
2. Planning Staff would strongly recommend further discussions occur involving the design,massing,
and location of the proposed residential and commercial buildings. Planning Staff would recommend
that the applicant provide a 3-D rendering(computer simulation) of the Master Plan during the
Definitive Plan public hearing process to better understand how the project will impact the site and
neighborhood.
3. The applicant submitted a preliminary traffic impact analysis study dated November 2007. The
study concluded that the project would generate an estimated 181 vehicle trips in the AM peak hour,
240 in the PM peals hour and 2,566 trips daily. The sturdy firrther states that due to [fie relatively low
traffic volumes involved,the site generated peak hour trips will have a minimal impact on the
surrounding roadways and intersections. The only significant change in Level of Service resulting
from the new site traffic is the I-Iigh/Sutton/Chadwick intersection, which will operate at LOS E/F
during the peak hours. This is a typical condition for side streets intersecting heavily traveled
roadways such as Sutton Street that otherwise do not have sufficient volumes to warrant installation
of a traffic signal. The study concludes that the proposed mixed-use development results in a
reduction of traffic impact in comparison to full occupancy of the existing office use.
4. The Town is seeking to coordinate efforts with the Applicant to improve portions of Elm Street in
accordance with the Machine Shop Village Master Plan. Planning Staff has been asked to determine
their level of commitment.
