88 was sent to abutters within 100 feet in advance of this meeting. We received several abutter einails and t '
89 additional abutter eniails were received late today and have been added to the meeting g packet.
90 J. Sinioiis: Provided history and context of this project from the perspective of the CPC noting the alternate
91 proposal for the property was a substantial subdivision. There are three other parking areas with ample parking
92 located nearby. Not convinced that this is the best solution. Board should continue to hear from the abutters as to
93 their perspectives to ensure the topic of parking is Fretted properly.
94 E. Goldberg: This is before us as a request for Waiver of Site Ilan Review. The land is Town owned and the
95 parking can be built, but it would need to go before site plan review. This Board can review size, scope, layout
96 etc.; however,not a tremendous.trenriendous.amount of leeway if those provisions are met. It is verb'rare for the Planning
97 Board to deny permits when it is Site Plan Review. We are not at Site Plan Review yet, as applicant is req uesting
8 to skip it. For context, normally,this is the type of project where we do waive Site Plan Review. Parking lot are
99 pretty easy. Appreciate all other e n erg s raised in the,abiater eomnients, which give nie pause as to whether or
100 not we should waive SPR. 1f we gent through Site Plan Review, not sure we could have grounds to deny the
101 proposal. However,would like to see the applicant put more thought into Tether this is necessary and if
102 necessary,what can be dote to make it more appealing all around.
103Board: General consensus was to deny the Waiver as presented. Abutter comnients make it worthy to look more.
104 into this. More due diligence and information ation is needed.

106 motion. The vote was - , unanimous in favor. Roll Call vote: J. Simons voted yes. A. Preston voted yes. B.
