68 DISCUSSIONS:
69 1429 Osgood Street: After the agenda was posted Planning received an inquiry on this address and a request to
70 have a discussion with the Board related to potential permitting requirements. The applicant is proposing to
71 purchase the building and to open a self-storage facility at this location. The area is zoned CDD3 and the Building
72 Commissioner has yet to make a determination on the allowed use for this property.
73 L.Rudnicki: Technically,we can discuss this, but nothing is binding.
74 J. Enright: Once the use is determined,parking and loading bylaw criteria(Section 8.1)would need to be met.
75 There is 3K sq. ft. of office space currently utilized within the building. The building is not abandoned;there is
76 another 18K sq. ft. available in the building that is currently being used for limited storage. Currently there are no
77 lined spaces or delineated travel lanes. Landscaping and loading bay requirements are outlined under Section 8 in
78 our bylaw and if it doesn't meet the bylaw,the Planning Board is the Special Permit granting authority for those
79 criteria.
80 P.Banton: What percent"additional"area(beyond the 18K sq. ft.)is the existing concrete foundation?
81 Bill MacLeod Andover Consultants: It is approximately 25%.Mr.Roper(applicant)is proposing to install
82 partitions or cubicles for self-storage areas inside the building. We understand if you have an addition of 2K sq. ft.
83 or larger that would trigger Site Plan Review. We recognize the parking areas would need to be demarcated.
84 Personal property would be stored. Traffic generated would be minimal. It would not be considered commercial
85 warehousing. Pavement may need repair. We are asking for a sense from the Board without the Building
86 Commissioner's determination.
87 J. Enright: The current use is office space.

89 runoff, screening& landscaping. We don't have enough information yet.

91 could be had at that point, if necessary.

93 Warrant Article-Site Plan Review Modification: In review of 1812 Turnpike Street,L. Eggleston noted she had
94 previously worked on a revision to the Site Plan Review(SPR)bylaw requirements that have not been
95 implemented.This revision proposed to reference the Stormwater and Erosion Control regulations(Chapter 160)
96 in SPR. This would provide consistency in stormwater management review requirements. Conservation is taking
97 the same approach to update their regulations. The proposed revisions will require a warrant article.
98 Board: Requested that a warrant article be drafted and reviewed by Counsel.
99
100 Watershed Informational Mailer: Board reviewed the draft postcard.A few minor modifications were
101 recommended. It was recommended that a second mailer that targets lake shore residents and direct abutters to the

103 improvements and P. Boynton agreed to work on some content for the website.
