Dr. Massand - Wood Avenue - Site Plan Dr. Massand would like to buy a piece of property from Leon Grant and add an addition to his existing building. The types of businesses which have expressed an interest are Gloria Stevens and Women's World. The proposed addition is one level and approximately 1,500 square feet. The main con- cern is that the developer is presently proposing to tie-in to the sewer and drainage systems from easements to Creeden Street. Paul suggested that the owners share the cost of getting utilities on the property, i.e., sewer and drainage systems. Paul explained the need to explore this idea. Dr. Massand would be willing to explore this idea although he would like to put the foundation in the ground before it freezes. A revised drawing for the parking and circulation will be submitted. For the type of business that Dr. Massand has in mind know, the parking is sufficient; but if the uses that he has in mind now change, the parking may need to be changed. The landscaping plan and lighting plan is proposed to be submitted with the building plan. A loading area and a dumpster is not required at this time. Planning Board's Minutes November 18, 1981 Page 4 Motion: To recommend issuance of the building permit when the park- ing setback and design, drainage calculations, and lighting have been submitted. Also, to examine bringing the utilities together. (Parsons - DeGirolamo) Opposed - Genatossio, Flynn, and Brugliera Planner Brugliera commented that he would like to see a re- vised plan. Motion: To reconsider the vote made on Dr. Massand's site plan. (Flynn - DeGirolamo, all in favor) VOTED Motion: To hold open the site plan review process and have Dr. Massand bring in more information, all the information on Paul's hand- out. (Flynn - DeGirolamo) The Board asked Dr. Massand if he would like to write an exten- sion letter of two weeks; or if whenever he has the information complete, to appear before the Board again. Dr. Massand chose not to write an extension letter but to take the negative recommendation to the Building Inspector and leave the decision up to him. Motion: To reconsider the original motion to recommend issuance of the building permit when the parking setback and design, drainage calculations, and lighting have been submitted. Also, to ex- amine bringing the utilities together. (Parsons - DeGirolamo) Opposed - Genatossio, Flynn, and Brugliera. 7. Richard Longton - Cumberland Farms - Site Plan Mr. Longton said that an agreement has been negotiated between V.S.H. Realty and Bruce Woods. The agreement is that they will swap their parcels of land located on the southerly side of Chauncy Street. Bruce Woods shall convey his parcel of land known as F1 to V.S.H. Realty subject to an easement which would allow him access to the land for the purpose of maintaining, repairing, and keeping the builder immediately to the west of Parcel F1. Also, the right to use and operate any and all water, sewer, and drainage lines in, upon, over, across, and under Parcel Fl. V.S.H. Realty shall convey their parcel of land known as Kowzic Lot to Bruce Wood subject to the restriction that no building shall be erected or maintained on the premises for 30 years. An easement has been obtained over the easterly side of the parcel to be used in common for circulation around the building. Mr. Longton proposed to paint arrows or to put up signs for one-way traffic. There are 26 parking spaces 10 X 20, and there is sufficient maneuvering space. Motion: To approve provided that they angle the rear parking spaces. (Brugliera - DeGirolamo, all in favor) VOTED Planning Board's Minutes November 18, 1981 Page 5 8. Margo Jellinek - Discrimination Margo Jellinek pointed out that she was on the agenda for 8:30,and she did not appear before the Board until 8:46. Mrs. Jellinek said that on November 4, 1981, Marydee made the motion that when it comes to Public Discussion if Margo Jellinek has something to say which is over two minutes, she should put herself on the agenda. She said that this is discrimination and is not allowed by the law. She is very surprised that the Chairman did not tell Marydee that she is doing something illegal. Planner Flynn's response was that she did not specifically say to limit Margo Jellinek's discussion. She said that people like Mrs. Jellinek did not take up so much time at the end of the evening. 9. Paul Marabido - Sturdy Memorial Hospital Clinic - Site Plan Mr. Marabido said that they are appearing before the Board to seek their favorable recommendation to the Building Inspector. Sturdy Memorial is proposing to build a health clinic on a site three acres in size. Access is proposed to be from the old Route 140 approximately 700 to 800 feet from the Mansfield Town Line. The entrance would be a 24 foot driveway. This width was set by the State. The patients will be dropped of in front of the building. The parking lot will consist of 40 spaces which will be 9 X 18 feet. Water and sewer lines will be from the westerly side of the building to be provided from services that are going to be constructed under relocated Route 140. The proposed water and sewer main size is not determined yet. Increase in drainage to Robinson Brook for 45 CFS. That increase is a result of the parking lot and roof.being paved. The drainage will enter a swale and then a grass retension area to the Robinson Brook. The proposed lighting and landscaping is on another plan. The Cape Cod berm proposed is a flater surface. He feels it will serve the same purpose as a curb. The site is relatively flat. They used a 100 year storm line instead of a 10 year storm line. Chairman Kaufman asked if there will be any low-level radioactive material. The response was no. Motion: To approve the site plan. (DeGirolamo - Parsons, all in favor) VOTED 10. Home Developers, Inc. SRPEDD's review of the plans expressed one particular concern. They feel that the servicing and refueling of equipment on the site presents a definite threat to the underlying groundwater. They recommended that an oil -water separator device be installed. Also, siltation of adjacent areas from both wind and water erosion and contamination of the soil and possibly the groundwater. Planning Director said that an independent engineer could be hired to review this also. Chairman Kaufman felt that an additional engineer would not really be necessary. Planner DeGirolamo suggested to put clay around the drums to prevent filteration into the ground water. 11. Master Plan Planning Director talked with Tom Pisataro. Mr. Pisaturo is going to col- lect all the maps he has on the Town of Mansfield, and Paul is going to do the same. Then Paul will setup a work schedule with SRPEDD. Whitman & Howard's preliminary maps are in. There will be about eight or nine re- source maps that will go into the new map. Planning Board's Minutes November 18, 1981 Page 8 Planning Director said that the plans for the proposed two weigh stations were withdrawn. Also, the Planning Board sent a letter to the State during the environmental notification review process which stated the concerns of the Planning Board. Adjournment r, Clerk / /as Date
