Dear Johns
Thank you for presenting the above cited protect to the
Technical Review Committee on October 12, 1988. Please be advised that
the committee had the following concerns regarding your projects
A. Planning Department Concerns
1. Does the easement to Holly Ridge Road exist and what
does it allow?
2 . Steep grades ( 10% ) makes access very difficult
3. Must maintain a minimum of a 50 ' non-distrubed buffer
area along the parcels perimeter boundary
4 . Grading for the structures . Details needed, would
like the units located on different levels which
correspond to the existing topo to the extent possible .
5 . Would not suggest you maintain the retention areas as
water bodies . They will revert to wetlands and be
impossible to properly maintain.
5 . Must submit a draft instrument for your open space
easement,
7 . Need to supply a supplemental landscaping plan .
Suggest you preserve the existing trees found on-site
to the greatest extent possible .

Page 2:
8 . Place a no--cut sine on the plan. This will be used by
the Planning Board to maintain existing tree cover ?
found on-site .
9 . Suggest you supply two cross sections ( one looking
north and one looking south ) which shows the extire
site with final elevations of the hills and the siting
of the structures . E
i
10 . Detail design of the entry area requested including E
the design of the retaining, walls . Would also suggest
you provide an area for bus loading off the roadway
near the entrance to the project.
B,. DPW Concerns
1 . Sewer Extension
2 . Water line extension and water pressure issues . Might
look at supplying a reservior on-site to help supply
needed water pressure .
3 . Need detailed drainage plans, which shows how the
water will be routed to the retention ponds.
C . Fire Department Concerns
1 . 10% road grades are excessive
2 . Need better fire access to the structures
3 . Water pressure is a concern for fire fighting
4 . Request residential sprinklers in the units
5 . Need a method for emergency access to the main gate.
Look at the system used at Fuller Pond in the Town of
Middleton.
6 . Provide emergency access to the ponds and the jogging
path.
7 . Might request a through road be supplied to Holly
Ridge Road.
D. Police Department Concerns
1 . Need a bus stop designed off Chestnut Street. ,,
2 , Need to supply sidewalks within the project, p'ossbily
along Chestnut Street.
i
Page 3:
3 . Might request a through road to Holly Ridge Road
( public road ) .
I
4 . Need a main directory at the entrance .way for the
units . Supply identification markers at the end of
the roadways, with unit numbers ,
If you have any questions regarding this letter, please contact
the department involved. Thank you for your time and effort in this
,matter.

Re: Rosemont P.R.D.
Dear Mr. Hedstrom:
The Division of Public Works has reviewed the plans of the proposed
Rosemont P,R.D. and have the following comments to make:
1. Provide a plan and profile of the off-site sewer on Chestnut St.
and the easement between Chestnut St. and Turnpike St. A 20 foot
wide permanent easement should be provided for the cross-country
portion of the sewer.
2. A written agreement must be obtained from the owner of the Pumping
Station on Rt. 114, granting permission to connect,
3. Provide data which shows that the Route 114 Pumping Station has the
excess capacity to accept sewage flows from Rosemont. Data should
include existing and projected flows from other areas which were a
basis for the design of the Pumping Station.
4. A DRQD, DWPC, sewer system extension permit must be obtained prior
to sewer construction.
5 . Sewers with slopes that generate a velocity greater than 10 f.p.s.
are not acceptable.
6. Show all sewer service connections,
7. How will building # 16 be sewered,
8. A 20 foot wide sewer easement should be provided for future extension
of an interceptor sewer. The easement should be on the north side of
Mosquito Brook along the north property line and should also have a parallel
10' wide construction easement.
9. Provide an analysis and design of the proposed water booster pumping
station. Include a copy of the manufacturer's proposal.
10. Show all water service connections.
Page 2- Rosemont P.R.D. i
11. Shorten hydrant branches to points more accessible to the Fire Dept. and
closer to the back of sidewalk.
12. Service connections off dead-end water mains should be avoided wherever
possible.
13. The hydrant at building #4 should be located on the end of the water
main.
14. Locate a hydrant or blow-off at the high point of Ridge Court to act
as an air release.
15. Show a detail of the connection to the water main on Holly Ridge Road,
16. The location of gas and underground electric, telephone and cable
should be shown on the plan.

22. Provide soils map which shows what area is classified as an "A" soil.
23. The design calculations show mitigation of only the peak flows for the
100 year storm event.
24. The absence of drainage under the emergency access lane will create
maintenance and operation problems.
25 . Mitigation of peak flows from. subeatchment 5 & 6 which routes across
abutting property is not provided.
26. The drainage analysis should include the entire watershed of Mosquito
Brook which inflows to the design point.
27. The drainage analysis should provide data showing that flooding will
not occur at the culvert downstream of the design point at Johnson St .
28. Data should be provided showing the adequacy of site-distance at the
intersection of Chestnut St. and Rosemont Drive and at the vertical
curve at station 11 + 40 Rosemont Drive,

Re! Rosemont, Planned Residential Development (PRD) .
Dear Mr. Neve;
As you are aware the Technical Review Committee and the
Planning Board have reviewed the preliminary plans submitted for
the above referenced PRD Special Permit.
The Fire Department has stated that adequate fire protection
must be provided throughout the proposed development. This may
require that a water main booster pump be located near the
intersection of Rosemont Drive and Holly Ridge. I understand that
the Division of Public Works has concern with placement of such a
PUMP. Please review your final proposal with Mr. William
Hmurciak, as I will be asking DPW for a formal recommendation.
In an effort to pull all construction off the more severe
slopes, both the Planning Board and the Technical Review
Committee have recommended that you to apply to the Zoning Board
of Appeals for a variance on the minimum lot size as allowed
through the PRD bylaw, Should the minimum lot size be reduced to
12 ,500 square feet and the balance of land saved through this
variance be made part of the common open space, you would be able
to eliminate most construction on the steeper slopes. The Zoning
Board of Appeals next meeting is scheduled for February 11, 1992 .
Staff would be willing to coordinated a Special Meeting of the
Zoning Board should this date present a problem.
This department will not recommend that construction be
allowed which will require excavation, removal or stripping in
excess of 1, 000 cubic yards. Further, the Building Inspector is
concerned with the proposed location of foundations in relation
to areas of substantial, fill. Please provide a plan and
calculations for proposed location and regrading necessary for
all dwellings and roadway construction.
December 27, 1991

I would like to schedule a meeting of the TRC on either
1/3/92 or 1/6/92 , to review all recommendations to date. As soon
as I have confirmed the date with all members I will inform your
office. Please feel free to contact my office should have any
questions or concerns.
