The following members were present and voting: Paul R. Lamprey, Chairman; William No Salsmme, Vice-Chairman; William Chepulis; and~ohn J. ~onteiro. There were 12 visitors present. PUBLIC t~ARi~a: PADDOCER~TATES (Scott Properties) - the legal notice was read by Member Chepulis; F. Salines represented the developer; S. Follansbee was present; Mr. Gelinas stated that it is a 12 lot subdivision; 18 acres located across the street from Willow Ridge; serviced by drainage, no co~z~mal water or sewer; the character of the site is gentle, topography is 10 ft. difference from Boston St. to center of subdivision and dow~ againl two minor intermittent streams; on watershed of Song River; drainage is Basically at intersection of Bosto~ ~t. & Paddock Lane, 2 catch Basins; the predominant amount of water flows through the 30" culvert at lot #1; there is no practical place to install a dryhydrant with impoundment areal all lots have 150 ~t. frontage and conform to the ZBL. Mr. Monteiro stated that with no water provided at all then construction would be a fire hazard, a great distance from the fire station and felt that the Town is beoo~inga "Fire ~ox". However, the density is good. Mr. Chepulis cited that Willow Ridge is a similar situation. Bud C~r sa~d that water is available about 400-~OOft. up the street. Water could be arranged from Andover, also. Mr. ~elinas interjected that the Town can .alwa~s~e arrangements to purchase water from an adjacent town but it would~e a sensitive arrangement for a private developer to make because it becomes political. ~cott Follansbee added that there is a subdivision going in just over the Andover line that will Bring ~h~rant as close as Jenkins Rd. and there is water at the intersection of Boston & ~ra~ ~ts. l~ra~k~elinas thought it would benefit Andover to sell us the water ~ecause their oapasity is way beyond their needs. Ch~lie Foster suggested that the PI~gh~!q~ ~ get together with the.BPW.~ Mr. Monteiro asked if the developer would be willing to give an easement -Oelinas. I think our o~n BP~has reservations about servicing this pam't of Town, there are all kinds of things that have to be resolved. ~uce Horton, 8 Olympic ~y, Andover: brought up the question of drainage near the proposed road, pond on lst~ drains towam~ithe cul de a~c, it ie dugout right now. Mr. Cyrrecommended that on any drainage problems that occur during construction of the road or lots they shall be incorporated into the street drainage system and easements provided for such. ~his shall be a condition of approval if approved. Mr. ~elinas was asked if the ponds would be destroyed during building - these c_.~n~ot be tampered with wi~hout going through the Wetlands Act. Letters' from Highway, Fire and BPW were read by the 0hairman. Mr. ~elinas told the members that there are 3 separate ~eeds to the proper~y, Scott Properties owns most of the land with E & F B~ilders o~ning a small portion. Mr. Ohepulis suggested that the drainage easement on lot ~5 should be carried through to the lot line and would like to have the BOARD consider the retention of certain trees if approved. Motion was m~de by Mr. Monteiro and seconded by Mr. Ohepulis to take the matter under advisement. Vote~ ~~I~NE~ Mr. La~preyreiterated that on Dec. 20th the ]~l~J~Dunanimously voted revokation of the subdivision called ~alem Forest. Read from list of conditions that had to be corrected in a letter to Mr. Fart. !B~sically, wh~t was found when the site Nay 16, 1977 conS'd was walked was that the spillway is still 3-~ ft. below She old culverti~level, the sea,low isstill being drained oonstantly...it is mar~ed at 1120 but there is a devia- tion somewhere. The spillway is not aS the elevation it should be and it is drain- ing the wetland Shat w~a intended to be kept. The BOARD requested certification of the accuracy of. 1120. Mr, Saleratus requested input as So how much work had been done since PLANNING BOARD withdrawal of approval - Mr. Cyr amid probably 2/~ of'the ditch is completed plus a little ledge So be taken away. Atty. Philip Arsen&ult, representing G. Farr, stated that #3 in our letter had Been done except as So the qlAeation of accuracy in the elevation. Gelinas confirmed Shat a certification of this would be forthcoming. Mr. Arsenault suggested that Mr. Parr was working and trying to cooperate to meet She conditions set by She BOARD, he sub- stantially complies with all the conditions and will the subdivision be reinstated if Mr. ~elinas certifies the elevation at 112°? Mr, Lamprey answered Shat She BOARD wants to see She elevation of that spillway aS She bottom of She stone culvert. Mr. George Schruender said he understood that all things were being taken care of and Shat lots could be released. Mr. ~_amprey Sold him that it is still a great concern inasmuch as it is no different than when it was walked in Jan,,~y. Mr. Chepulis asked for verification of the 30" and 12" culvert elevation with back-up data. After. more discussion Mr. MonSeiro made a motion So table the master until Wed. nighs meeting upon receipt of the data. Mr. Roberts seconded and the vote was unanimous. GEORGE PAI~: EARTH R]~OVAL - letter read from Board of Appeals; Mr. Parr stated Shat he had not removed anything from She site but should probably apply for a permit if I do wans So remove some. Letter: E. SzSuoinski Re ~toneolemve Estates - letter read by the Chairman re water supply. Mr. Barbagallo would assure him that no trucks will pass over that road nor will construction take place on the road. Frank Gelinas brought up Blake Adams' land and felt that he would never agree So not using this road. Mr. Chepulis felt that Blake would be free to use iS bus want to assure Mr. Sztucinski that this is not par~ of the subdivision. Barbagallo does no% have easement rights to give to anyone for use of that road (loSs ~-16 do not have cross easement rights). JOHNSON CIRCLE -John Willis, Sr. said he spelled out in detail in his letter the chronology of the development and reiterated same to the BOARD. He also had presented an ~impaoS study and had been in contact with Reno Construction. Mr. Chepulis asked if the electric services boxes been corrected yes - Willis thought that the problem did not exist any more and added because of the widening of the pavement, the hydrants are too close to She pavement. A good portion of the problem ia m result of the re- location of these hydrants which the ~ did. Essentially everything that has to be done is all part and parcel of the finished road job. As of 1~75 it would cost $3,700 and as of 3 weeks ago it would oos~ $11,000. Mr. Cyr stated %has rather th~n get m separate contractor to do the work we thought it would be better to pus the money into the total road. Mr. Willis had agreed to Shat but found out Shat the bonding company won't allow it. Items remaining to be done: sewerage, gravel, basins on road, level, grading to Johnson ~t. Mr. Willis suggested that Mr. Cyr, She BPW and himself aught to sis down and figure out what to do, then it would be a master for She client to decide. Mr. Willis noted that we need releases from the bonding company, should have a meeting with Borgesi, client, bonding oompan~ and Cyr. Mr. Willis %o report back when the massing has taken place so that we can pursue our portion of the road, catch basins repair. ~TONECLFAVE ESTATES - letter from F. Gelinms wa~ partially read and Mr. Gelinas spoke. Easement was extended on lots A & B back to She property line and those loss are shown on the definitive plan such that these easements can be taken at the Sims of She ~ 16~ 1~77 conS, subdivisi~n. With respect to the dry hydrant, an actual h2~lrant will be put in place in a different color to distinguish from regular hydrants; the water line will be ex~ended to the p~nd off the property and N. A. Assoc. will give easement rights all the way to Mosquito ~rook. He felt they had provided continuous drainage. Drainage computations were su~nitted. Mr. Cyr okayed the continuous drainage as outlined by Mr. Gelinas. J. Barl~gallo told the members that i~ would be serviced by artesian wells, 2 gal, per minute. Mr. Chepulis h_~i reservations with the road following the swale, might cause problems with drainge. Mr. ~elinas stated that the BPW is satisfied with the standard he had come up with and the fire chief feels he has to go on record as being opposed to any subdivision that is no~ serviced by communal water. Motion and second made by Subdivision Control 3ubcommittee to approve the subdivision with the usual standard conditions plus conditions imposed by,he Highway Surveyor and changes requested by the Planning Board to the developer as confirmed in an amending letter received from developer's representative, Mr. ~elinas. In a&iition, the plan shall show abutting owners across the street from the development and areas on the defini- tive plan shall be specified in square footage subject to verification of all pending areas in the subdivision. ~he easement rights shall not be granted to lots 9-13 inclu- sive. Mr. Lamprey brought out the fact that the Con. Com. would like land set aside for public use. We have 3 years under ~he Rules & Regs. to decide to negotia%& for this land. Gelinas said that before this is done so~e clarification of the law is needed because the landowner has some rights. Vote: unanimous. ~ HILL SIY~DMSI0~tOONTROL AGRk~TT: Motion madebyOhepulis that the Chairman be authorized to sign the Agreement from Equity Builders of N.
