PLANNING BOARD'S
MINUTES
OCTOBER 16, 1985
Present: Chairman Brugliera, Clerk 'Doucette
Planners: Genatossio*, Flynn, Boldrighini and Bachman
1. Meeting called to order at 7:30 P.M.
2. "Form A" plans
Robert Moore - Elm Stret
The applicant of this "Form A" plan is Robert Moore. This "Form A" plan
consists of a parcel of land on the easterly side of Elm Street bounded
northerly by MBIA; easterly by the Town of Mansfield; southerly by ABC
Trust, Gazzola, Tartufo, Willis, Torrey and Mahan; westerly by Dougherty
and Seekell. The reason this plan does not constitute a subdivision is
because lots 8, 9 and 10 have sufficient area and frontage as per zoning.
Lot 7 labeled as a non -buildable lot because it does not meet frontage
requirements. Chairman Brugliera had a concern regrding Lot 10 because
it was in both Agricultrual and Residence AA Zones, it has the frontage
for Agricultural but does not have the required area for Agricultural, it
has the required area for Residence AA. It was the Board's opinion that
the lot had to have the required area for the zone which the frontage is
in.
*Planner Genatossio entered the meeting.
Planner Genatossio stated that one of the criteria for signing a "Form A"
plan is that you cannot create a non -buildable lot by not having enough
frontage on a public way. Planner Boldrighini stated that a note has been
placed on the plan that states that this is not a buildable lot and that
the only reason that it is included in the "Form A" plan is for deed pur-
poses.
Motion: To sign the "Form A" plan for Robert Moore for Elm Street.
(Boldrighini - Doucette - Bachman - Brugliera)
(Planner Genatossio was opposed to this motion)
(Planner Flynn abstained from voting on this motion due to the
fact that she felt that the lots did not have frontage for ade-
quate egress and ingress because these lots are a number of feet
below the roadway.)
M. R. Keefe, Inc. - West Street
The applicant of this "Form A" plan is M. R. Keefe Inc. This "Form A" plan
consists of property on West Street opposite Alden Street. The reason this
plan does not constitute a subdivision is because Lot 1 has frontage on Route
140 and West Street and sufficient land area for Agricultural Zoning.
Planning Board's Minutes

Lots 2 and 3 have frontage on West Street and sufficient land area for Residence
A Zone. The checklist is complete with the exception of Number 4 which states,
"Identification of the plan by name of owner of record and location of the land
in question" - this was not shown on the plan.
Motion: To reject the "Form. A" plan for M. R. Keefe, Inc. on West Street
due to the fact that the identification of the plan by name of
owner of record and location of the land in question was not shown
on the plan.
(Flynn - Doucette - All in favor)
Coughlin - East Street
The applicant of this "Form A" plan is Thomas J. Coughlin. This "Form A" plan
consists of a parcel of land on the westerly side of East Street bounded northerly
by Pine Wood estates Realty Trust, easterly by East Street, southerly by Kirby &
King and westerly by the Canoe River. The reason this plan does not constitute a
subdivision is because Parcel C has sufficient area and frontage. Parcels A and C
to be conveyed to abutting ownership. The checklist is complete with the following
exceptions: The key plan at one thousand (1,000) feet to the inch shall be filed,
the scale is at 1700 feet to the inch; the existing water bodies and wetlands to
demonstrate compliance with Section V -I Water Body Setback and Wetland Protection
as enumerated in the Mansfield Zoning Bylaw. Where a water body or wetland is
located within the boundaries of the property., elevations of the water at the
time of the survey shall be shown on the plan; this is not shown on the plan;
the elevations and limits of the 100 -year flood discharge as taken from the Flood
Boundry and Floodway Map for the Town of Mansfield effective date April 1, 1977,
and the flood rpfile in the Flood Insurance study for the Town of Mansfield dated
October, 1976, this is not shown ont he plan; in case of the creation of a new lot,
the remaining land area and frontage of the land in the ownership of the applicant
shall be shown. Planning Consultant Mannarino noted that although the application
form states that Parcel C has sufficient area and frontage. Parcels B and C to be
conveyed to abutting ownership - this statement must also be placed on the plan
for recording.
Motion: To reject the "Form A" plan for Thomas J. Coughlin for East Street
due to the facts which were not incorporated on the plan according
to the "Form A" review checklist; Number 7, 12, 13 and 14.

3. 8:00 P.M. - Joint Meeting with the Board of Selec
uss Industrial

dustrial zoning in the Town of Mansfield. This meeting ended at 9:10 P.M.

4. Site Plan - Forbes Boulevard
David Grant, C,C&F, submitted a site plan for a proposed parking area addition
which he has submitted to the Building Inspector who informed him that he has to
bet Planning Board approvel, but this plan has not been submitted to the Town
Clerk. The comments which have been made by Joseph Mannarino, Planning Consultant,
regarding this plan have been addressed with the exception of the drainage because
Planning Board's Minutes
October 16, 1985
Page 3
the drainage is going to recharge into the ground rather than taking it off the
property. Mr. Grant stated that if the Board would like drainage calculations,
he will have them calculated and then submit them to the Board. The parking
spaces have been met according to the Zoning Bylaw. The proposed parking area
is just for the parking of the trucks which will be fenced. Mr. Grant submitted
a revised plan with all of the comments from the Planning Consultant to the
Planning Board. The Board explained to Mr. Grant that he should submit this plan
to the Town Clerk before they can vote on it. Mr. Grant requested that the Board
vote on this plan subject to the plan being submitted to the Town Clerk so that
construction can begin on this proposal as soon as possible. The Board had no
problem with this request.
Motion: To send a positive recommendation to Bertram M. Cook, Inspector of
Buildings, on the site plan for a proposed parking area addition on
Forbes Boulevard submitted by David Grant with the stipulation that
the plan be submitted to the Town Clerk.
(Doucette - Boldrighini - All in favor)
5. "Form A" plan - Harris - Gilbert Street
The applicant of this "Form A" plan is Nicholas C. Harris. This "Form A" plan
consists of property located on Gilbert Street on the westerly side. The reason
this plan does not constitute a subdivision is because there is adequate area and
frontage on a public street. The checklist is lacking the following information:
Zoning Classification and locationof any Zoning District Boundaries that may lie
within the locus of the plan; the northerly abutters from the latest available
Assessor's records unless the applicatnt has knowledge of any changes subsequent to
the latest available Assessor's records; the distance to the nearest road or to
other permanent monument, or tied into the Town of Mansfield Vertical Control Sy-
stem; the plan is at a scale of 2,000 feet to the inch rather than 1,000 feet to
the inch which is required; the existing water bodies and wetlands to demonstrate
compliance with Section V -I Water Body Setback and Wetland Protection as enumerated
in the Mansfield Zoning Bylaw. Where a water body or wetland is located within
the boundaries of the property, elevations of the water at the time of the survey
shall be shown on the plan are not shown; and the elevations and limits of the
100 -year flood discharge as taken from the Flood Boundry and Flooway Map for the
Town of Mansfield effective date April 1, 1977, and the flood profile in the Flood
Insurance study for the Town of Mansfield dated October 1976.
Motion: To reject the "Form A" plan for Nicholas C. Harris for Gilbert
Street due to the facts which were not incorporated on the plan
according to the "Form A" review checklist; Number 6, 9, 10,
12, 13 and 14 were not on the plan.
(Genatossio - Boldrighini - All in favor)
6. Correspondence
Planner Genatossio stated that even though the correspondence was not on the agenda
she would like to go over it quickly to see if there are any matters which must be
voted on. The Board agreed.
Planner Genatossio stated that there was a letter in the correspondence regarding
the inspection of a subdivision and she believes that an Inspector Form must be com-
pleted and signed by the person who inspected it and also the Planning Board Agent.
She would like a letter sent to the Town Manager stating this fact.
Motion: To send a letter to Rande Wilson, Town Manager, regarding the procedure
which should be followed concerning inspections of subdivisions.
(Genatossio - Boldrighini - Bachman - Brugliera - Doucette)
(Bachman was opposed to this motion)

Planner Genatossio also stated that there is a letter in the correspondence
regarding the bond estimate for Golden Hill Homes. She believes that the bond
estimate is calculated by the Planning Director and the Planning Board then
approves the calculated amount. Planner Bachman stated that the bond estimate
is calculated through the Means Construction Catalog. Planner Genatossio stated
that the Board should calculate this amount since there is no Planning Director,
and the applicant shouldn't be submitting an amount to the Board and stating
that this is how much he believes the bond should be for a subdivision. Chairman
Brugliera stated that this bond amount came from the engineers which were hired
by the Town Manager. Planner Genatossio stated that a letter should be received
from the Town Manager stating that these are consultants which he hired to work
for the Town.
A letter from Max Volterra, Volterra, Goldberg & Mangiaratti, to the Mansfield
Planning Board regarding the preliminary plan of "Forest Park" and the Planning
Board's request that the applicant resubmit this plan because it was withdrew
from the office. The letter states that The Broderick Corporation never with-
drew the plan and, therefore, will not be refiling the plan as it is unnecessary
and unwarranted.
Planner Genatossio stated that on the bond estimate for Golden Hill Homes, the
Board should make sure that this was calculated according to the 1985 Means
Construction Cost Data due to the fact that this is the method that the Board
uses and she also stated that the bond estimate should include the fire alarm
boxes and that the calculation should be according to the plans which were sub-
mitted and approved by the Planning Board.
Motion: To send a letter back to Rands Wilson, Town Manager, stating that
the Planning Board would like this bond recalculated according to
the plans that were submitted and approved by the Planning Board
and also using the 1985 Means Construction Cost Data Catalog due
to the fact that the Board uses this catalog as a basis for all
bonds and also that the fire alarm boxes should be added to the
calculations.
(Genatossio - Doucette - All in favor)
The Planning Board received a request from Ronald S. Bonvie for a partial re-
lease of the bond on Wind Chime Subdivision due to the fact that the base coat
paving and the 12" gravel base are completed. The Board also received a letter
from Al Andrews, Construction Inspector, which stated that both of these items
have been properly completed and inspected. The total amount for this work
which is being held is $33,546 as figured by the Planning Board.
Motion: To release $33,546.00 to The Ronald S. Bonvie Corporation due
to the fact that the Base Coat Paving and the 12" Gravel Base
were completed and inspected on this subdivision.
(Genatossio - Boldrighini - All in favor)

Consultant, regarding the recommended performance guarantee for Mansfield Manor
Estates Subdivision. The total amount of this performance guarantee is

Glen Street. He stated that this plan needs additional information concerning
the existing topography of the surrounding area, wetlands and poorly drained
soils; it must also meet the requirements for unaccepted streets in the Town
of Mansfield Subdivision Regulations.
Motion: To send Steven Conroy, applicant, a letter stating that the
plan and profile of the Glen Street construction layout re-
quires additional information as stated in Joseph Mannarino's
letter (which will be attached), in order that he can have
that information for the public hearing.
(Genatossio - Doucette - All in favor)
7. Around the Table
Planner Genatossio stated that the letters which were sent to the applicants
of the preliminary plans which were returned to them should have been sent to
Judith F. Scott, Town Clerk, with a copy going to the applicant in order that
she will know the status of all the plans.
Planner Boldrighini asked what the status of "Forest Park" preliminary subdivi-
sion plan was at this time. Planner Genatossio stated that the Planning Board
voted to deny this plan due to the fact that the applicant took his plan out
of the office before the plan was reviewed by the Board. She stated that the
letter should be sent to Judith F. Scott and the reasons for the denial should
be stated and it should also be stated that the plan should be resubmitted.
Planner Boldrighini stated that 'dir. Broderick should submit his plan to the
Town Clerk and then bring it bank ;to the Board so that they can review it. Planner
W-.aiiman stated that if tlah, plan is reconsidered for review, than the rest of
the plan which the Board denied will have to be reconsidered for review and he
does not feel that that is right. 'This matter will be taken up further at the
next Planning Board meeting. `�-

(Genatossio - Flynn - All in favor)
Planner Flynn stated that on Page 6, the paragraph regarding "Forest Park" pre-
liminary subdivision plan should state, "The plans for Forest Park are denied

Planner Flynn also stated that on Page 1, under the "Form A" plan for Robert
Moore, she would like it added that she abstained from voting on this motion
because she felt that the lots did not have frontage for adequate egress and

4. Sign "Westview Woods" Subdivision plan off West Street
Chairman Brugliera stated that this is the subdivision plan that the Board went
to court on. Planner Genatossio asked Mr. Broderick, applicant, what the road

52' to 6 feet at the deepest cut; he also stated that this plan conforms to the
all the stipulations in the judgement from the court.
Motion: To sign the "Westview Woods" Subdivision plan off West
Street.
(Boldrighini - Flynn - WITHDRAWN)
Planner Genatossio stated that the Town Consulting Engineer should look at this
plan to make sure that it conforms to the judgement. There was a concern from
the Board because the revision date which was placed on the plan was done in
pencil and this will not be accepted by the Registry of Deeds. Chairman
Brugliera stated that he would also like the Planning Consultant to look at
this plan to make sure that it conforms to the judgement. This plan will be
taken up next week.
Motion: To send a memorandum to Joseph Mannarino, Planning Consultant,
stating that the Board would like him to review the "Westview
Woods" Subdivision plan to assure that it conforms to the
judgement; the Board would also like to send a memorandum to

Genatossio stated that the Board had received a number of new subdivision plans
on the same day and that they were reviewing them in no particular order, but did
not get to review "Forest Park", Mr. Broderick then came into the Planning Depart-
ment the next day and removed his plan, made revisions to it and then returned it
without it being stamped by the Town Clerk. She stated that she feels in all fair-
ness to everybody who had submitted plans and did not remove the plans the Board
should not reconsider their decision to have the applicant resubmit his plans to
the Town Clerk. Max Volterra, Attorney for Mr. Broderick, stated that the plans
are not going to be resubmitted because the plan was not withdrawn and that the
Board can deal with it as they would like. Planner Genatossio stated that the
plan has been denied. Mr. Volterra stated that he would like to know why; Chairman
Brugliera stated that Mr. Broderick will be receiving a copy of a letter which was
sent to the Town Clerk outlining the reasons.

7. Review Site Plan - Apartment Building on Park Street
Clerk Doucette read the comments from the department heads. Edward Sliney,
Fire Chief, stated in his memorandum that no trash is to be stored in the
building, the alarm system is subject to his approval and the.wing on the
left portion of the main building prevents Fire Department access to the last
unit creating a life -safety hazard; Jesse Earls, Police Chief, had a concern
about the adequacy of the parking facilities; Joseph S. Mannarino, Planning
Consultant, stated that this plan lacks the ground water information for the
leaching catch basin; Rande Wilson, Town Manager (for the Department of
Public Works), stated in his memorandum that the radius on the entrance should
be shown on the plan, granite or concrete curbing should be used, the water
service should be shown on the plan and proper permits for the sewer line must
be requested and approved. The Board felt that these concerns should be
addressed on the plan and, therefore, they felt that they could not make a posi-
tive recommendation.
Motion: To send a negative recommendation to Bertram M. Cook, Inspector
of Buildings, regarding the proposed site plan for an apartment
building on Park Street based on the comments from the Fire
Chief, Police Chief, Planning Consultant and the Town Manager
(Acting for the Department of Public Works).

Planner Flynn asked if the Board has heard anything about the status of
either "Cabot Pond" or "Westview Woods". Chairman Brugliera stated that
the Board has not received anything from Town Counsel on either of these
subjects.
Planner Flynn stated that she would like a letter sent to the Board of
Selectmen stating that the Planning Board was told that the cut of the
roadway in the "Westview Woods" subdivision was to be four feet and they
have been told by Mr. Broderick, applicant, that the cut is to be approx-
imately 52' to 6 feet deep. She would like a copy of this letter sent to
Jack Dwyer and would like a response on this issue by Wednesday, October
30, 1985.
Motion: To send a letter to the Board of Selectmen with a copy going
to Jack Dwyer, Town Counsel, stating that the Planning Board
has been told that the roadway cut for the "Westview Woods"
subdivision was to be four (4) feet, but the Board has been
informed by Edward Broderick, applicant, that the roadway
cut is approximately a 5i to 6 foot cut; the Board would like
an explanation on this matter by Wednesday, October 30, 1985.
(Flynn - Genatossio - All in favor)
Planner Genatossio stated in the Minutes of October 9, 1985, under the dis-
cussion of "Forest Park", it should have been stated that the plan was denied
and the applicant must resubmit this plan because the applicant had -taken the plan
out of the Planning Department Office before the Planning Board reviewed them.'
She stated that the Board should now review the original submittal and deny
the plan on that basis in order that the reasons for the denial will be stated
in the letter to be sent to Judith Scott, Town Clerk. Mr. Broderick will then
be aware of the reasons why his plan was denied. The Board reviewed the origi-
nal plan according to the Subdivision Regulations and found that the major
features of the land such as existing walls, fences, monuments, buildings, trees
twenty-four inches (24") in caliper measured four feet (4') above the ground,
wooded areas, outcroppings, ditches, swamps, water bodies and natural waterways
were not shown. The topography of the land with a five foot (5') contour inter-
val based on the U. S. Coast and Geodetic Map and tied to the Town of Mansfield
vertical control system. Water bodies and their elevations shall be shown with
the date of measurement; this was not . on the plan. The elevations and limits
of the 100 -year flood discharge as taken from the Flood Boundry and Floodway
Map of the Town of Mansfield effective date April 1, 1977, and the flood pro-
files in the Flood Insurance study for the Town of Mansfield dated October,
1976, were not on the plan.
Motion: To deny the plan for "Forest Park" preliminary subdivision
due to the fact that the plan is lacking the necessary in-
formation as outlined in the Subdivision Regulations under
Preliminary Plans; Some of the Board's concerns are that
the plan is lacking Section 2e, Section 2i and Section 2n.
(Genatossio - Flynn - Bachman - Fiore - Boldrighini)
(Brugliera was opposed to this motion.)

MANSFIELD PLANNING BOARD
Minutes of Meeting Held
October 23, 1985
Present: Chairman Brugliera, Clerk Doucette
Planners: Genatossio, Flynn, Boldrighini, Fiore

an Agent to perform the functions of the Planning Board Agent to

Motion: To appoint Planner Fiore as Clerk
(Genatossio, Boldrighini all in favor)
The Board then discussed various proposed changes to
the Subdivision Regulations. Planner Flynn commented on the
roadway design regulations. She indicated that to reduce the
amount of soil removal from site, the cut and fill should be
balanced, and if removal was required, a gravel removal permit
should be required so to protect the natural features of the
land. Planner Genatossio pointed out that the requirement for a
gravel removal permit may be too restrictive, and instead the
Regulations should be amended to make specific provisions for
control (hours, amount etc. ) and health and safety truck rates,
dust control, refueling). The consensus of the Board favored
Planners Genatossio's position.
Motion: To hold the Public Hearing for the
Amendments to Subdivision Regulations or
November 14, 1985, at 8p.m.
(Genatossio, Boldrighini, all in favor).
