Enright Meeting began at 7:00pm. PUBLIC HEARINGS CONTINUED PUBLIC HEARING, 723 Osgood Street: Application for a renewal and modification of a Wireless Special Permit to allow for upgraded antennas, cabling, and equipment and to add six Remote Radio Heads. J. Tymon: The structural report had some failures. The draft Decision prepared includes a condition that these failures will need to be addressed and a new structural report signed by a structural engineer will be required prior to issuance of a building permit. MOTION A motion was made by L. Rudnicki to close the public hearing for 723 Osgood Street. The motion was seconded by L. McSherry. The vote was unanimous. A draft Decision was reviewed. MOTION A motion was made by D. Kellogg to approve the Special Permit for Sprint Spectrum, LP, 723 Osgood Street, Map 35 Parcel 23, as amended. The motion was seconded by L. McSherry. The vote was unanimous, 4-0. DISCUSSIONS Falcon Air: Marc Scott request for Site Plan Review waiver. J. Tymon: Falcon Air has a wooden addition attached to one of their hangers. They would like to demolish and replace it with an addition in the same area with a slightly larger footprint. Reviewed the Bylaw waiver criteria with the Board. The area is paved and there will not be any additional runoff. Bill MacC leod, Andover Consultants: Reviewed the site layout, access, and egress for the hanger. The water and sewer service will remain the same and the use will be the same. MOTION A motion was made by D. Kellogg to waive Site Plan Review for the reconstruction of the facility for Falcon Air, 492 Sutton Street. The motion was seconded by L. Rudnicki. The vote was unanimous. 72 Great Pond Road: Three lot subdivision. J. Tymon: There is currently one dwelling unit. The proposal is to subdivide the lot and construct two additional homes. T. Zahoruiko: Described the site location, features of the parcel that he would like to maintain, the views looking out towards Weir Hill, and reviewed pictures. Provided a conventional subdivision plan, existing conditions plan, and a proposed layout plan. The proposed access to the two new homes is via parallel driveways to the east of the existing home. The proposed layout would preserve the existing views, most of the trees, and the masonry walls. The proposed home locations are in the conservation buffer zone. This layout plan would require waivers from the Subdivision Rules and Regulations and an approval of the Conservation Commission. R. Rowen: Asked if the views of the abutter will be affected. T. Zahoruiko: Did not think so; however, will look into it. J. Tymon: Communicated issues that the Conservation Administrator believes the Conservation Commission will have with the proposed layout, including the location of the homes and the amount of impervious service being added for the driveways. This parcel is not in the Watershed, it drains to Stevens Pond. The Board discussed the amount of impervious service that would be added due to the length of the driveways and common driveways vs. the proposed two parallel driveways. T. Zahoruiko: Requested the Board visit the site to get a better idea of the site features and what he is trying to maintain. R. Rowen: Asked that the features that T. Zahoruiko is trying to protect be hi-lighted on a plan. Stated that the sense for tonight is that going this route, working out the details, will probably be a preferable solution vs. a conventional subdivision. Appleton Street PRD Subdivision: Pre-application discussion. J. Tymon: This subdivision is comprised of 3 lots, approximately 21 acres of land. There is an existing home on 464 Appleton St. which has frontage on Blue Ridge Rd. and Grapevine Rd. Grapevine Rd. is an undeveloped road. The proposed subdivision would be a PRD with eleven lots. The Open Space would consist of three separate, non-contiguous parcels. One of the parcels is mostly wetlands. R. Rowen: Expressed that he would like to see the development break through to the developed portion of Appleton Street. Phil Christiansen, Christiansen and Sergi, Inc: In the mid-1980s there was a small subdivision approved for Grapevine Rd. that was never developed. Presented a Preliminary Conventional Subdivision Proof Plan, Roadway Profile Plan, and Preliminary PRD Subdivision Plan for “Regency Place”. The subdivision is partially in the R-3 zoning district and the R-1 zoning district. It is extremely steep from the end of the proposed cul-de-sac to the developed portion of Appleton Street. R. Rowen: Would like provisions made for an extension all the way through to Appleton Street. J. Tymon: There was a condition in the previously approved subdivision for this location that Appleton Street be extended. Phil Chistiansen: Reviewed utility access. The subdivision would be on Town sewer and water. This would be a low-impact development. A roadway profile connecting Grapevine Rd. to Appleton St. will be provided at the Preliminary hearing. 440 Great Pond Road: Vegetation Clearing/Watershed Special Permit. J. Tymon: This home has been under construction for a long time. Schuyler Vicnaire, Land Cleaners, is requesting to do some brush clearing and dead tree clearing. A plan with the Non-Disturb and Non-Discharge areas identified has been reviewed with Schuyler. The house is being built in the General Zone. The property has a lot of over-grown evasive and it needs to be cleaned out. Vegetation cutting is allowed by Special Permit. They just want to clean up the area, no tree cutting. The property abuts the Waste Water Treatment Plant. The intake pipe for the plant is right next to this property. R. Rowen: The purpose of the non-disturb zone was so that we weren’t excavating and putting in foundations or drainage features in this area. It didn’t mean that after a house was established that it could not be maintained. It was to avoid run-off going into the lake. If the proposed work is not increasing run-off and it is just maintenance of the property it should not require a Special Permit. Schuyler Vicnaire, Land Cleaners: Provided an overview and location of the proposed maintenance work. Stated that there will not be any tree removal or excavation. MOTION: A motion was made by L. Rudnicki to approve the vegetation clearing at 440 Great Pond Road that it does not require a Special Permit per the scope discussed tonight; clearing and maintenance of the vegetation with no tree removal or excavation of the property. The motion was seconded by D. Kellogg. The vote was unanimous. MEETING MINUTES: Approval of July 17, 2012. MOTION A motion was made by D. Kellogg to approve the July 17, 2012 meeting minutes.
