Cynthia Nolan - Site Plan - Dance Studio on East Street The board received a memorandum from Jesse Earls, Police Chief, stating that he strongly recommends a one-way traffic circulation for this site. The Conrads own the property, and the Conrads have an easement over the DeGirolamo's property. Mr. Maloon said that Cynthia Nolan would be happy to eliminate one entrance and go along with the one-way traffic pattern. Chairwoman Genatossio pointed out that there is no employee parking, and there is a lack of information regarding the number of employees that will be employed. There was discussion regarding how one of the entrances will be blocked off. Motion: To send a favorable recommendation to the Inspector of Buildings recommending the following: 1) Screening be addressed 2) Access and Egress, traffic flow 3) Address employee parking 4) Define the exit/entrance, i.e, signs 5) Need of a landscape plan 6) Fire safety, i.e., children in barn (Brugliera - Doucette, all in favor) VOTED 6. Form A- Town _of_Mansfield Lot C, owned by Graphic Labs, is being traded for Lot D, owned by the Town of Mansfield. The Town's land consisting of Lots A, B, and C will then be combined. Motion: To approve (Flynn - Fiore, all in favor) VOTED 7. East Land Estates - Site Walk The board will make a site walk of the preliminary subdivision entitled, "East Land Estates" on Friday, November 25, 1983. All members will meet at the Town Hall at 9 A.M. 8. Around the Table In reference to G. P. Massand's building on Wood Avenue, Chairwoman Genatossio recommended that all members go to inspect this site. The two buildings are connected by sides, and there is no roof. Mr. Cook is requiring them to construct a roof. She also informed the board that crushed stone and a fence was put around the building instead of the shrubs that were shown on the site plan. It was the concensus of the board to pull the site plan for the next meeting. Chairwoman Genatossio also informed the board that Ronald Bonvie would like to appear before thb board at their next meeting to discuss a change in Fairfield. He originally was going to discuss this with Mr. Cook, and Mr. Cook directed him to the Planning Board. Motion: To send a letter to Bertram Cook stating that any changes that Bonwood would like to make on Fairfield, has to come before the Planning Board. (Flynn — Fiore, all in favor) VOTED 'Planning Board's minutes Page 4 November 16, 1983 9. Cedar Meadows Planner Doucette informed the board that he made an inspection of Cedar Meadows last Friday morning. He had prepared a map of the problems that exist, and presented each member with a copy. He stated that there is curbing in the street; there is an electrical transformer in the sidewalk, but it is not finished; some of the sidewalks have washed away; there is a bulldozer in the street, On the corner of Squire/Ephriam, he found an open catch basin which was 6' deep and had 14" of water in it. He covered this over. There is a flat bed trailor on Ephriam Drive with curbing on it. There was no evidence of trash out on Mill Street. Joseph Mannarino talked to Francis Cannata. Mr. Cannata informed him that he has two men out there working. He explained that he was waiting for the curbing which was on order, and it has come in. Some things that need to be done are: realign the sidewalks, lighting, curbing, top coat, and the cleaning of the base coat. At this point, there was discussion regarding Rumford Square apartments. It was pointed out that they have constructed a ramp, which was not on the site plan. Motion: To send a letter to the Inspector of Buildings asking why a ramp was constructed, as it was not addressed on the site plan; and this appears to be a modification to the site plan. (Fiore - Doucette, all in favor) VOTED Planner Brugliera informed the board that he has purchased a large piece of land in Mansfield, and a Form A and a subdivision plan will be coming before the board. Planner Brugliera will not be present- ing this. Jim Dunn, his engineer, will be presenting everything. He requested the board's opinion on whether he should stay on the board and excuse himself when this is discussed, or if he should resign. Planner Doucette said he feels the board works good together, and he feels Joe has been an asset to the board and would be very helpful especially when the board starts working on sub- division regulations. He would like to see him stay on the board. Planner Fiore agreed. Planner Flynn agreed that he is an asset to the board, but she pointed out that sometimes although there may not be a conflict of interest, the appearance of one is worse. Chairwoman Genatossio tended to agree with Planner Flynn. In reference to East Land Estates, it was the consensus of the board to invite the applicants to the boards meeting to be held on November 30, 1983, to discuss the proposed subdivision. It was also decided to discuss Fox Street at the Decmeber 14, 1983 meeting. r` 10. Date of Next meeting is November 23, 1983, at 7:30 P.M. 11. Adjournment 8:55 �a DATE RECREATION/CONSERVATION ELEMENT PLANNING BOARD'S DIASTER PLAN WORK SESSION November 16, 1983 The Planning Director presented each board member with a package of information that will be used to initiate this element, which is Recreation/Conservation. This package con- sisted of an outline, an evaluation of current recreation/ conservation element, and a comprehensive planning program. The Conservation Commission and the Recreation Department have a copy of this information. Hopefully, they will review this, and a meeting will be set up so that a draft may be worked out. The inventory has to be updated. Joseph Mannarino informed the board that he would like to base the Master Plan on a 10 to 15 year period, rather than a five year period. The map is very outdated. He presented the map to the board. All new map work will have to be pre- pared. A map should be prepared showing all the town owned land, i.e., schools, parks, commons, ect. Then each parcel should be identified for its best use. The maps will have to be reduced so that they map be incorporated into the text. Presently, there are no maps in the text. It refers to maps at a large scale. This makes it unworkable. Joseph Mannarino estimates that there will be a need for approximately four to five maps for the Recreation',Conservation Element. He requested that the board members review the information he presented to them. End of master plan session 9:45 P.M.
