RIM Engineering Representative presented the drainage calculations for the parking lot, which was designed to 'a '10 year storm frequency.

(Mangiaratti-Hartmann, all in favor) VOTED It was noted that there are going to be trucks parked on both sides of Chauncy Street in this area and there is nothing that the Planning Board can do to eliminate this as there is no special permit procedure. Chairman Parsons noted that perhaps the Town should limit parking on one side. 5) Board discussed the Community Attitude Survey.. Planner Mahana referred to F-3, Do you feel that the Town should establish a program for the improvement of local street systems to bring them up to acceptable safety standards? , and noted that what bothered people the most was the widening of the roads. He noted that when the Conservation Commission brought up the suggestion of scenic roads he was impressed because they could bring the drainage up to standard and redo the road without widening them. It was the consensus of the Board to eliminate item F=3. Item F-4 to read "Do you know of any other traffic hazards in Town that need to be repaired?". Items E-7 and E-8 to be combined into one question. Planner Mahana suggested that they have a questioned "Do you feel that Highway Department, School Department and Recreation Department vehicles should be housed 4n one area ?" Planner Mangiaratti felt that this would be a political statement. (Planner Grant entered the meeting at this time.) Planner Grant felt that they should not have them housed in one area because if there is vandalism everything would be lost at once, Community Attitude Survey to be reviewed further at another meeting. 6)Board discussed the Brookside Estates "as built" plans. It was noted that the Town Engineer has found some drafting errors and will review the plans in detail and forward a list of the errors to the Planning Board so that the plans can be corrected before a Town Meeting. 7) Board reviewed the Form A Plan for Maurice Shribman for land on North Main Street. It was noted that this plan had been endorsed by the Planning Board in December of 1977 and that the new plan was submitted to eliminate the 12' passage way. It was noted that the Zoning in that area was changed from Business B to Downtown Business. Motion: To return the Form A Plan to Maurice Shribman for land on North Main Streetto have the Zoning Classification corrected. (Grant-Mangiaratti, all in favor) VOTED 8) Board reviewed the Board of Appeals application of Norman D. Murphy to divide a parcel of land containing two single fmmily dwellings at 41-43 Dean Street, with non -conforming frontage and setbacks. It was noted that these dwe1lings were situated on the lot prior to zoning. Motion: To recommend to the Board of Appeals that the variance for Norman Murphy be granted. (Mahana=Grant, all in favor) VOTED Minutes July 12, 1978 Page 4 # 9) Board reviewed the Board of Appeals application of Karl Clemmey for variances from Section V -G earth removal. It was noted that the variance was requested in accordance with the Planning Board's letter of July 7, 1978. Motion: To recommend to the Board of Appeals that the by-law provision requiring that excavation not go below street level (Section V -G -3-c-1) be waived. Also the requirement for the installation of monitoring wells during the duration of December 1st to March 30th prior to the filing of the application be waived, with the provision that the monitoring wells be installed if the permit is granted and that final grading be adjusted in accordance with the measurements recorded on those wells during the operation. (Section V -G -3-c-4). However, the Planning Board recommends against waiving the requirement of having the maximum depth of excavation less than 6 feet above the highest water level as provided in Section V -G -3-c-4 and also recommends against waiving the requirement that high water level be determined between the petiod of December 1st and March 30th as noted in Section V -G -3-c-4. The affect of these recommendations, if ddopted by the Board of Appeals would be that this gravel operation would not begin until December 1st, 1978. (Mangtaratti-Hartmann, Mahana in favor, Grant opposed) VOTED Planner Grant felt that it was not necessary to wait for monitoring wells to be installed as they can tell where the high ground water is from the iron level on the soil. He noted that it would be tying him up until next spring because the don't build roads when there is frost in the ground. He noted that there is no purpose of them going for a variance if they can't haul until December 1st. Board questioned if be would need a letter of agreement from Vazza to cross his property. it was noted that he does not show an access road to South Main Street and that if he can't get the agreement from Vazza he would not be able to haul. 10) Board reviewed the Board of Appeals application of John O'Donnell to establish a CuttedrGrinder Tool Business at 150 Gilbert Street. Motion: To recommend to the Board of Appeals that the variance for John O'Donnell to establish a Cutter Grinder Tool Business at 150 Gilbert Street not be granted because there is not hardship presented on theland and it would derogate from the purpose and intent of the Zoning By-law. (Mangiaratti-Hartmann, Mahana in favor, Grant opposed) VOTED 11) Mrs. Jellinek came before the Board and noted that the secretary sent copies of the wetland zoning to the Board and questioned if anyone had the time to look it over or even read it so that they could put a date for discussion. Mrs. Jellinek noted that she would like to know by September if the Planning Board plans to sponsor this because if they do not there is alot of work that the other interested citizens would have to do before town meeting. Chairman Parsons noted that Mrs. Jellinek would have an answer from the Board prior to September lst. This item to be put on the agenda for next week and to obtain a list of the 7 places that flooded during the February storm.
