2. Attorney Richard A. Gellerman informed the Planning Board that he has re-
viewed the plans for the Foxboro Terminals proposal and also the file. He
submitted a prepared list of issues that are legally permissible to consider
when the Board is voting on Foxboro Terminals; there are five (5) items,
these come directly from the Mansfield Zoning Bylaw. On this letter, he
he also quoted the Massachusetts General Laws, Chapter 40A, Section 9 which
deals with the issuance of Special Permits. Attorney Gellerman stated that
the Planning Board should base their vote on the issues which are listed and
also any information which they have knowledge of themselves, such as traffic
and safety. He stated that he will prepare the written decision for the
Planning Board after they vote. Planner Genatossfo stated that Attorney Katz,
attorney for Foxboro Terminals, stated that the Planning Board cannot obtain
any additional information after the public hearing is closed. Attorney
Gellerman stated that the Board can address those issues that are part of the
public hearing transcript and they can also consider items that they may know
as citizens of the Town of Mansfield. Attorney Gellerman also stated to the
Planning Board that the Board cannot deny the owner of the land from using
this land if that is the only possible way it can be used, but this land can
be used for other industrial purposes.

4. Review site plan - Copeland Drive
This site plan is for a proposed hair salon on Copeland Drive which would be
the conversion of an existing single family dwelling into a small full service
Hair Salon. No additional increase in exterior of building. The existing
sewage system is adequate for the proposed use (computations were attached).
The applicant of this site plan is Copeland Realty Trust. Clerk Doucette read
the comments from the various departments. Planning Consultant Mannarino had
a comment regarding the screening of the parking area. The applicant stated
that he has worked out an arrangement with the abutter for this screening; he
also stated that there is an existing septic system and that, according to the
computations,, there will be no increase in the amount of water used. Planner
Genatossio had a concern about the parking since there were only seven (7)
parking spaces shown on the plan; she wanted to know about the employee parking,
also. The applicant stated that he only has two (2) employees working at this
facility and that he doesn't expect more that five (5) customers at a time, so
there is sufficient parking. Planner Genatossio stated that she is still con-
cerned with the parking and she would like the Building Inspector to be aware
of this fact so that there will not be parking on the street. This is in a
General Business zone.
Motion: To send a favorable recommendation to the Building Inspector on
the application of Copeland Realty Trust for a proposed full ser-
vice hair salon on Copeland Drive including the comments from
the department heads and the Planning Consultant. This letter
shall also state that the Planning Board had a concern regarding
the amount of parking and felt that employee parking will be
needed.
(Doucette - Boldrighini - All in favor)
5. 8.00 P.M. - Discuss "Foxboro Terminals" Special Permit - off Francis Avenue
The discussion for the "Foxboro Terminals" Special Permit began at 8:00 P.M.

cussion for details.
6. Guest - Steven Conroy - discussion of extending a paper street
Steven Conroy approached the Board and submitted a plan to them for his pro-
posal to extend Glenn Street which is currently a dead-end paper street. He
stated that he has spoken to the Town Engineer and received the requirements
to make this street conform to the Unaccepted Street Requirements; he also
stated that the Town Engineer has no problem with the water or the sewer on
this plan. Mr. Conroy has received acceptance of this proposal from the Board
of Selectmen and he has spoken to the Building Inspector and was told that he
has to get Planning Board approval first. Planner Genatossio stated that Mr.
Conroy must submit these plans to the Town Clerk and a public hearing must be
held on this proposal.
Motion: To hold a public hearing for the extension of Glenn Street,
the applicant is Steven Conroy, on Wednesday, October 30, 1985,

7. Review "Austin Farms" definitive subdivision plan off Winter Street
Clerk Doucette read the letter from Michael Trowbridge, engineer, addressing
the comments from the Planning Consultant and the Town Engineer. He stated
that the Planning Consultant's concern about the amount of material being cut;
the gravel which is going to be cut will be used on site and there will be
12,000 cubic yards of loam and subsoil removed and that that is allowed. Mr.
Trowbridge stated that he has had a problem reaching John Larch, Light Depart-
ment Manager, in order that he will know where to place the street lights on
the plan, but that Mr. Larch can just give him the layout of the lights and
junction boxes at a later date and they will be put on the plan during the appeal
period. The applicant is requesting a waiver for the roadway pavement width -
he would like the pavement width to be 25 feet instead of the required 30 feet.
He is also requesting a waiver to place the sidewalk on one side instead of on
two sides.
Motion: To approve the waiver for the roadway pavement width to be
reduced from the 30 -foot requirement to 25 feet due to the
fact that this is what the Environmental Impact Statement
suggested.
(Doucette - Boldrighini)
(Genatossio - Flynn - Bachman - Fiore opposed to this motion)
FAILS
Planner Genatossio stated that she has a concern as to the width of the street
because this may be considered a secondary street and not a minor street and
F" the Planning Board, in updating the Subdivision Regulations, were speaking about
reducing the width of a minor street to 25 feet, not the width of a secondary
street.
Motion: To deny the request for a waiver for the placement of side-
walks on only one side of this subdivision.
(Genatossio - Fiore - All in favor)
Chairman Brugliera stated that he has no problem with allowing the electrical
- Tights and the junction boxes to be placed on the plan during the 20 -day appeal
period. Ronald Bonvie, applicant, stated that the Town Engineer had marked up
a plan showing exactly what he wanted and the plans have been revised to reflect
these changes. Planner Flynn stated that she had a concern about the 12,000
cubic yards which are to be removed. Mr. Bonvie stated that even if there was
no cut and fill on this site, that amount of material would still have to be
removed because it is all loam and subsoil. Mr. Trowbridge stated that the
Town Engineer had requested that the easement be enlarged; this has been shown
on the plan. The Board reviewed the plans and all the comments seem to be
addressed.
Motion: To approve the subdivision plan entitled "Austin Farms", submitted
by Ronald Bonvie with the stipulation that John Larch, Light Depart-
ment Manager, place the locations of all street lights and electrical
utilities on the plan; and also, the plan must conform to the
Subdivision Regulations concerning the roadway pavement width and
the sidewalks.
(Doucette - Genatossio - All in favor)
8. Discuss "Hallett Crossing" definitive subdivision plan - off Fruit Street
The comments from the various department heads were read and the plan which
the Board was reviewing did not address these comments. There was a question
Planning Boards Minutes
October 2, 1985
Page 5
as to whether the applicant and engineer had received the department head
comments on this plan or a letter from the Planning Board stating what issues
had to be addressed on this plan.
Motion: To send a letter to the applicant outlining the concerns of the
Planning Consultant, the Town Engineer and all other department
heads; it shall also be stated in this letter that the curben
shall conform to the present Subdivision Regulations and that
if the applicant is requesting a waiver of this regulation, it
must be submitted, in writing, to the Planning Board; a waiver
must also be requested for the width of the roadway pavement;
it shall be stated in this letter that these are only some of
the concerns that the Planning Board had and that they would
like these addressed.
(Doucette - Genatossio - All in favor)
9. Discuss "Chambers Court" subdivision plan - off West ?Street -
The Board received an application from the Harrington & Matto Company, Inc.
for the removal of approximately 16,000 cubic yards of top and subsoil on
the site of "Chambers Court" subdivision. The Board requested the applicant
to attend a Board meeting to explain the necessity for this amount of mate-
rial to be removed since the site, when approved, nothing was mentioned of
this amount of removal. Michael Trowbridge, Engineer, stated that all this
material to be removed is top and subsoil which cannot be used on site. Mr.
Steven Wright, applicant, stated that the material which has to be removed
ranges from 13" to 36" throughout the whole site and that this material must
be removed in order to landscape the property properly. Planner Boldrighini
stated that he does not see any reason to remove that amount of material from
the site because it is very flat and he wanted to know, since this calculation
was for the whole site, how much material needed to be removed just for the
roadway. Michael Trowbridge stated that it was not calculated separately from
the whole site. Planner Genatossio stated that this calculation should have
been submitted to the Board when the subdivision was in the process of being
approved. Mr. Wright stated that they did not know this amount of material
was to be removed until they starting cutting the road. Planner Boldrighini
stated that there is no reason to remove up to 16,000 cubic yards of material
from this site, but the applicant should be allowed to remove up to 10,000
cubic yards of top and subsoil from this site.
Motion: To send a positive recommendation to the Building Inspector on
the application for surplus material from the site of "Chambers
Court" which has been requested by the Harrington & Matto Company
Inc., but it should be stated in this letter that the applicant
should only be allowed to remove 10,000 cubic yards of material
from the site and the hours of operation shall be from 9:00 A.M.
to 2:00 P.M.
(Boldrighini - Fiore - All in favor)
10. Waiver Requests
The Planning Board received a request from Edward Broderick, The Broderick
Corporation, requesting a waiver of the road width requirements from 30 feet
to 25 feet and one sidewalk in the place of two sidewalks in the "Westview
Woods" subdivision. The Planning Board had a question as to the status of
the plan and stated that they would like to find out from Town Counsel as to
the exact status before voting on any requests for waivers.
Planning Board's Minutes

Page 6
Motion: To send a letter to Jack Dwyer, Town Counsel, requesting that he ex-
plain the results of the Broderick Corporation versus the Mansfield
Planning Board case; what those results mean to the Planning Board and
how they should handle it.
(Fiore - Doucette - All in favor)
Motion: To send a letter to Edward Broderick, The Broderick Corporation,
stating that the Board will not be taking an action on the requests
for the waivers until a response is received from Town Counsel as
to the status of the plan.
(Genatossio - Doucette - All in favor)
11. Preview new subdivision plans
Clerk Doucette stated that he has a big concern about all the subdivision plans
which have been submitted and the Board may have to start meeting an extra night
every week to review all these plans. Planner Flynn stated that the Board should
review these subdivision plans according to the preliminary checklist and if they
are not complete, they should be sent back to the applicant.
Wood Park Preliminary Subdivision Plan
The Planning Board reviewed this preliminary plan and found that there was no
"Form E" Certified List of Abutters with this submission; there was also no
elevation of the brook shown on the plan.
Motion: To return this preliminary plan to the applicant due to the lack
of information, specifically the elevation of the brook and the
"Form E" Certified List of Abutters.
(Flynn - Doucette - All in favor)
Pleasant Valley Preliminary Subdivision Plan
The Planning Board reviewed this preliminary plan and found that there was no
"Form E" Certified List of Abutters with this submission.

mitted with the plan.
(Doucette - Genatossio - All in favor)

major features of the land were not on the plan; the widths of adjacent streets
were not shown; the elevations and limits of the 100 -year flood discharge was
not shown.
Motion: To return this preliminary plan to the applicant due to the lack
of information; there was no "Form E" Certified List of Abutters
submitted with the plan; the existing and proposed lines of streets,
ways, easements and any public or common areas within the subdivi-

Page 7
Motion: To discuss "Camelot Estates" Subdivision at this time.
(Boldrighini - Fiore - All in favor)
12. Discuss "Camelot Estates" definitive subdivision plan - off Williams Street
Edward Broderick, applicant, approached the Board and submitted the Order of
Conditions which he received from the Conservation Commission, an approved
copy of the plan which was signed on October 22, 1975, and a letter from RIM
Engineering outlining the items which they have noted have been revised in
the Subdivision Regulations since this plan was approved. Planner Genatossio
asked Mr. Broderick if there has been any change in the drainage for this sub-
division since it was approved in 1975; he replied that it has not been changed
to his knowledge. Planner Flynn stated that she has been looking through the
file for the original submission and she believes that the Board must look at
this plan very carefully because there was so many problems with the original
plan.
*Planner Flynn left the meeting.
Planner Genatossio stated that there were problems within this subdivision
and the Board has to look and see what changes have been made and that a major
concern in this subdivision is the drainage. She stated that this plan should
be reviewed and a memorandum should be sent to the Town Manager stating that
he should hire someone to review the drainage on this plan.
Motion: To request the Planning Consultant to review this plan and submit
his comments to the Planning Board and to also send a memorandum
to the Town Manager requesting that he obtain comments from the
Town Engineer.
(Genatossio - Doucette - All in favor)
Doug Annino, Tremont Street, stated that the neighbors in this area have a big
concern regarding the mine shafts which exist in this area which would be built
right on top of and they are also concerned about the water table. Planner
Genatossio stated that the only mine shafts the Planning Board can deal with
are those which are in the road way, but the Board will inform the Planning
Consultant that there was concern shown about these mine shafts and state that
boorings may have to be done in the roadway. Chairman Brugliera stated that
the Board will have to review this file and discuss this plan further at another
time; the Board will also receive comments from the various department heads.
Planner Boldrighini stated that the Board should require the latest information
on the mine shafts be placed on the plan in order that the Board knows if there
will be any problems with these and test holes should also be done in order to
expose these mine shafts.
13. Public Discussion
Planner Bachman stated that he doesn't not understand why another public hearing
is not being held on Camelot Estates because the plan is ten years old and he
would like the Board to ask the Planning Consultant to review this plan and give
the Board some guide as to how to handle it.
Clerk Doucette stated that the Planning Board should write a letter to the Town
Manager requesting that a Town Engineer be hired to review all the new subdivision
plans which have been submitted. He also stated that he would like a half -way
point set up in order that when 30 days have passed on the subdivision plans, they
would automatically be put on the agenda for review in order that the Board can
review them properly.

e Planner Genatossio stated that the preliminary plan for "Jason Lane" was not
to the specifications of the Subdivision Regulations and she believes that this
plan should be sent back to the applicant and he should be informed that this
plan must conform to the Subdivision Regulations.
Motion: To return the preliminary plan for "Jason Lane" to the applicant
due to the lace of information and advise him to get a copy of the
Subdivision Regulations and design the plan in accordance with the
guidelines.
(Genatossio - Doucette - All in favor)
Planner Genatossio stated that the Planning Board has to start doing site walks
on some of these subdivisions such as "Hallett Crossing", and "Camelot Estates"
and she also stated that the Board should start working on revising the Subdivi-
sion Regulations. The Board will meet on Monday, October 7, 1985, at 7:30 P.M.
to work on these Regulations.
Chairman Brugliera stated that on August 6, 1985, the Planning Board sent a
letter to Douglas A. King Builders concerning the "Canoe River Estates" sub-
division and the problems which still occur at this subdivision. He stated
that no response has been received on this letter and the work still has not
been completed. The Town is holding $10,600 for the remaining work to be done
and Chairman Brugliera feels that the Town should take this money and complete
the work. Planner Boldrighini stated that Town Counsel should be notified and
Douglas A. King Builders should also be sent a letter stating that the Town is
pulling the remaining bond to complete the work.
Motion: To pull the remaining bond for the "Canoe River Estates" subdivision
and to notify Douglas A. King Builders of this fact and to also send
a letter to Town Counsel requesting him to pull the bond.

CLERK
DATE
October 2, 1985
Foxborough Terminals meeting
Chairman Brugliera: We are going to be taking up Foxborough Terminals and we
have some correspondence from their attorney, could you
read that please?
Clerk Doucette read the letter received from the attorney for Foxboro Terminals.
Chairman Brugliera: Okay. Is there any discussion on this letter, any comments
from anyone on the Board?
No comments at this time.
Richard Merrikin: We have the revised plan if you'd like to see it.
Chairman Brugliera: Okay. As we were discussing last week, or as you brought to
our attention last week, we cannot accept that revised plan
because the public hearing was held on the original plan, am
I correct?
Attorney Katz:
Whatever
you wish.
plan on a larger scale.
Richard Merrikin:
Just for
the record this
is a revision of the original plan,
not that
revised plan we
brought in with a smaller building.
Attorney Katz:
This
is the original
plan on a larger scale.
Richard Merrikin:
Some
technical items,
very fairly minor and it addresses
some
of the technical
things.
Attorney Katz: It's not a revised plan. In your letter to us, you asked for
the thing to be submitted on a larger scale, it's drawn on a
larger scale.
Chairman Brugliera: Did you want to submit that to the Planning Board?
Richard Merrikin:
Sure.
Attorney Gelerman:
There may or may not be some technical requirement as to whether
or not that's (can't hear).
Richard Merrikin:
Yes. We'll give it to them, you know, and they can do what
they would like with it. I can tell you what we changed so
you don't have to delve into it. The first items on your
letter indicated what we would consider technical deficencies.
That is the scale, notation of wetlands, notation of the
driveway next door and the distance, the size of the truck
dock and, one item you didn't mention, was the abutters and
the abutting houses. We had amended that portion and we had
indicated that it was incorrect on the first filing. So,
those are the major items that have been changed. Other than
that we haven't, obviously haven't, done anything to do with
the environmental studies that were in the following, in the
subsequent portion of the letter.
Planner Fiore:
You have changed the scale?
Richard Merrikin:
Yes.
October 2, 1985
Foxborough Terminals meeting
Page 2
Planner Fiore: The location of driveways and driveway openings?
Richard Merrikin: Yes.
Planner Fiore: Locations of wetlands and ponds within 200 feet?
Richard Merrikin: That, also.
Planner Fiore: Truck manuevering areas within 60 feet adjacent to loading
areas?
Richard Merrikin: Yes, we revised that.
Chairman Brugliera: Okay, thank you. Members of the Board, is there any dis-
cussion on this plan.. You know our time is running out,
our deadline is October 8, 1985, it is now October 2, 1985,
and we will not be meeting again before then. Can I hear
any comments or questions the Board members may have.
Planner Fiore: I think I have, obviously it came up at the public hearing,
a great concern regarding this plan due to the excessive
amount of truck traffic that's going to be generated. That
area is in a high residential area and there's often places
where there is no sidewalks, truck traffic is at high
frequencies during the times when schools are opening and
schools are closing. I just have a great, general concern
for the safety and public welfare in that area should the
site be allowed to be developed.
Chairman Brugliera: Okay, anybody else?
Planner Genatossio: Rick, you showed the wetlands here, the approximate wetlands
area?
Richard Merrikin: Yes.
Planner Genatossio: There is a wetland area
Richard Merrikin: in the back?
Planner Genatossio: Yes, in the back.
Richard Merrikin: That's shown on there
Planner Genatossio: On which sheet? Over here?
Richard Merrikin: Yes.
Planner Genatossio: This is the only one? Is there none down in this area over
here?
Richard Merrikin: Not within 100 feet of the site.
Planner Genatossio: 200 feet.
Richard Merrikin: Not to my knowledge. Those have to be verified by the Conser-
vation Commission on the exact locations.
October 2, 1985
Foxborough Terminals meeting
Page 3
Planner Genatossio: But how are we supposed to know. You, as the engineer,
Richard Merrikin: I feel comfortable with that.
Planner Genatossio: I believe, myself, from this particular area that there are
wetlands down in this particular area over here from driving
by there.
Richard Merrikin: I'm not familiar with the site. So I would have to say, my
opinion is that there are none.
Planner Genatossio: I don't know if it's a Conservation Commission responsibilty
or your responsibility as applicant and developer of the site.
Chairman Brugliera: Again, because of the time frame that we are working under,
the deadline and the last meeting before the deadline; we
do have a full Board and I would like to request that the
Board make a motion on the plan.
Anthony Fiore: I make a motion that we reject this plan, not allow this Special
Permit for the reason that I gave; one, that I do have great
concern about the traffic and public safety and I also think
that, it's obvious that this plan is in the Water Protection
District, in an aquifer, and I've got concerns about the
effect on the quality of water. I also have concerns about
the degradation of the surrounding neighborhood because there
is a lot of residential neighborhood in that area and how
this development is going to effect the neighborhood. I've
got concerns about public safety, we have the railroad
crossing across Francis Street and I am somewhat concerned
about the fact that the train would get stuck if something
ever happended to that railroad crossing, it would block off
the rest of the street, it would stop emergency vehicles from
travelling down Francis Street.
Clerk Doucette: I'll second that motion.
Chairman Brugliera: Open for discussion.
Planner Genatossio: Are you mentioning noise within that motion.
Anthony Fiore: Noise is another thing I'd be concerned about due to the
surrounding areas and the old age home, an old age development
in the area. Truck traffic is going to be moving in and out
at all hours of the day. That's also a concern.
Planner Genatossio: I don't know if, so much the traffic also is a concern as the
noise that is generated by engines that are possibly left on,
deisel engines and pollution from those deisel engines that
are left running. And the loading, the noise from the loading
of trucks and unloading of railroad. The Board had a concern
about the noise from that rail line to the side of the building
and asked the applicant to enclose it which was not done, to
cut down on the noise. I also have concerns about the wetlands
that are on the site.
Anthony Fiore: This is near, what, three well sites.
October 2, 1985
Foxborough Terminals meeting
Page 4
Planner Genatossio: Yes.
Planner Fiore: Three operating well sites in the Aquifer Protection District?
Planner Genatossio: That's in our major aquifer, one of our major aquifers for the
Town; and we also have wetlands to consider within that area,
on the site as well as off.
Chairman Brugliera: I think the Water Protection is the biggest concern, then
traffic, the children going to school with no sidewalks such
as on Hope Street. Anything else from the Board?
Planner Boldrighini: I think the biggest thing is that we want industry there, but
a different type of industry that doesn't have a negative im-
pact, that doesn't have all of that.
Chairman Brugliera: Hearing no further discussion, we have a motion from Tony
Fiore to deny the Special Permit and we have a second from
Ron Doucette, all those in favor of that motion signify by
saying I.
� C
All Board Members: I.������
Chairman Brugliera: Opposed?
None opposed.
Attorney Katz: Mr. Chairman, can I request you to have your secretary send
me a copy of the decision.
Chairman Brugliera: Yes. We will have that written in a few days.
Attorney Katz: Okay, thank you.
