Memorandum of Facts
Site Plan Review Special Permit
3 Great Pond Road
The Petitioner proposes the creative re-use of the Grange Hall in the Old Center
into three residential units with six parking spaces. No exterior charges will be made
and this re-use will preserve a unique and historic structure.
The site is small and adjacent to wetlands and commercial uses. Maintaining
the current structure is the only and most appropriate use off'the lance, and it will not
further crowd the land. This re-use will conserve the value off'the land and historic
building and add to the Town tax base.
The building, as a community center, does not have regular traffic, but when
used for gatherings has surge traffic. The re-use as three residential units will result
in daily traffic, but will eliminate the surge traffic.
The re-use for three residential units will not be an undue concentration o
population in a building the size of the Grange. As built, there is adequate light and
air. The renovation of the building to current building codes will reduce fire hazard.
Located next to the Old Center and the Town Common and rear the
Recreational Center, there are adequate trans or ation, municipal services and
recreational services for the three units.
The re-use of the site and the current bui I di n wiii not eopardize or increase an
waterbodies or flood plains.
The Grange Hall is a unique and historic structure in the Old Center. The
preservation of the structure and its history will enhance the amenities of the Town.
The specific site, and the preservation and re-use of the historic structure for
residential use is appropriate in this location adjacent to the Old Center and the
Common. The addition of three residential units and the daily car trips associated
with three units can be easily accommodated by Great Pond Road and the Old
Center as redesigned, and will not adversely affect the neighborhood.
The building is on Town water and sewer, adequate parking will be provided, and
the capacity of adjacent roadways will not be impacted.
WHEREFORE, Petitioner requests that the Planning Board issue the Site Plan
Special Pei'llllt.
