PUBLIC HEARINGS
Salem St., Lot 15 & 16, Common Driveways
John Burke read the legal notice and opened the public hearing.
The applicant, J. Philbin, was not present. Phil Christiansen, the
engineer for the project, agreed to answer questions; however, he
was not aware it was on the agenda and was not prepared to make a
presentation. Letters from the Division of Public Works and Fire
Department were read into the record which stated their opposition
to the common driveways. A Board of Health letter expressed concern
over wetland crossings and size of drain pipes on the project.
Karen Nelson stated how she conducted a site visit and found that a
violation existed with regard to construction of a common driveway
without Planning Board approval. Mr. Christiansen explained the
circumstances surrounding the construction of the common driveway.
The applicant petitioned the Conservation Commission to construct
two driveways across the wetlands. The NACC issued their Order of
Conditions to construct only one driveway to minimize wetland
disturbance.
The Planning Board was disturbed that this filing came after
the common driveway had been constructed and occupancy permits
issued. The Building Inspector had determined that this was not a
common driveway, therefore he did not send the applicant to the
Planning Board.
Residents Flanders, Monteiro, Hajjar, and Hardsham expressed
their disdain of the Special Permit application after the fact.
A set of plans and order of conditions will be obtained from
the Concom and a letter will be sent to the Building Inspector
requesting his reasons for not directing the applicant to go through
the Special Permit process for common driveways.
MOTION:
SECOND:
VOTE:
By Michael P. Roberts to take the matter under advisement
and continue the hearing until January 26, 1987.
John Burke.
Unanimous.
