Town Planner Maurer informed the Board that Village Estates Definitive Subdivision Plan has been advertised for hearing on March 27, 1973. 11. Town Planner Maurer informed the Board that he had not discussed the Cabot, Cabot and Forbes Preliminary Plan with the Town Manager and the various other department heads but he hoped to get to it next week. 12. Planner Latham questioned if the Board had heard from the Easton Planning Board regarding the drainage for the Oakhill subdivision off of Stearns Avenue. Town Planner Maurer noted that they had not received a reply from the Easton Planning Board but that several residents of Easton were complaining about it. Town Planner Maurer noted that in discussing the Oakhill Subdivision Plan with the various Town 'Departments that it was noted that the suggestion was made to carry the drainage from Station 3 out to Stearns Avenue and put 2 catch basins in on Stearns Avenue. It was also suggested by the Water Department that a note be put on the plan that the Town is not obligated to install Water to that area.It should be understood that the signing of the Plan does not commit the other Departments. Town Planner Maurer pointed out that this is the same procedure that they used in the Subdivision Plan for Hallett on Fruit Street. Planner Wellington questioned who made the suggestion of the two catch basins on Stearns Avenue. Town Planner Maurerinformed him that the Highway Department Superintendent was concerned with this. Planner Wellington noted that Stearns Avenue runs down hill and it is not going to catch water on the other side of the subdivision entrance and that it would run into the subdivision first. It was the consensus of the Board that only one catch basin was needed at the entrance of the Development. 13. Planner Latham informed the Board that he had a letter from the Massachusetts Department of Community Affairs regarding drainage in subdivisions if anyone is interested in reading it. 14. Board reviewed the Preliminary Subdivision Plan for the Circle "C" Stables Town Planner Maurer informed the Board that there is an 81' water main and a 14 inch water rain on West Street and that the Water Department would like the developer to come in from the 14 inch main and then loop through the develop- ment and hitch up to the 8 inch main. It was pointed out by the water depart- ment that it is good to cross the mains and this was the opportunity to have it done. Engineer Maloon had informed Town Planner Maurer that this should be no problem to the developer:. it was noted by Planner Wellington that it was not the responsiblity of the developer to cross the m ins at his expense. It was the consensus of the Board to discuss this with the developer and if he did not object it could be done but if he did not feel he should have to do this he would not be required to. Planner Zaffini stated that he would like to go out and look at the area of lots 10 and 11 as there are hbt&s-out there, and they are more than 5 foot contours. Planner Wellington stated that the regulations require that on a Preliminary Plan they are required to show 5 foot contours as shown on the latest U.S.G.S. Map and that the excavation on this land had been done after the printing of the latest U.S.G.S. Map. Minutes March 20, 1973 Town Planner Maurer pointed out that the Water Department would like to have blow off valves at the end of the cul-de-sacs as they have had problems in the past with low pressure at cul-de-sacs. Town Planner Maurer pointed out that there is still the question of where the drainage is going as under the new regulations Hood would have to be notified that the drainage>,would be crossing his property. Town Planner Maurer pointed out that for lot 21 they are trying to get a drainage easement through the property of Rezza. It was noted that there is a low point between lot 37 and 38 and the various departments questioned if this was going to be filled. It was noted that there is a high point shown on the profile at the beginning of Morgan and Maverick proposed roads and the Highway Department wanted some way of collecting the water on the West Street entrances. It was the consensus of the Board that with Catch basins about 100 feet in on the subdivision roads would allow for the water to run into the subdivision instead of making a lip at the beginning of the subdivision road. 15. Town Planner Maurer informed the Board that the Mansfield Industrial Park Realty Trust was scheduled to come in on March 27, 1973 with revised preliminary plan based on the letter sent by the Planning Board on March 14, 1973 re- gesting more information be shown. Town Planner Maurer informed the Board that Ryan and Elliot was looking for an alternative method of getting rid of the water and this would involve getting a easement across the Conservation Commission property and taking it directly into the Canoe River. It was the consensus of the Board that the water should not be dumped into the Canoe,::River but should go into the pond on the other side of the parking lot. Town Planner Maurer informed the Board that they were going to relocate the Railroad tracks on the plan. Planner Latham questioned Planner Nelson if he could remember if there were any plans for drainage in the Mansfield Industrial Park. Planner Nelson stated that they might be with the plans for Horner Waldorf. It was noted that the Planning Board did not have any drainage plans. Planner Wellington noted that the gully that the drainage was going into ends at the railroad tracks and that it ends up into an area of water 4 feet deep. and 25 feet Wide. Planner Nelson stated that it was supposed to have run into a pond. 16. Board met with the new Board of Health members. Chairman Flynn of the Board of Health stated that they were still reviewing their responsibilities and authority and that they would like to work out a cooperative method within the Planning Board and the Board of Health. Chairman Flynn stated that on subdivi- sion plans he would like to know what input the 'Planning Board gives to the Board of Health and what input the Board of Health should give to the Planning Board. Chairman Flynn stateddthat it was his information that the Planning Board has a definite time limitation but the Board of Health does not have a time limitation to make their decisions, and that he felt in some instances the Poard of Health cannot make a decision until the Planning Board is: to the point of almost approving the plan, such as grade elevation. Planner Nelson pointed out that when you start doing drainage you end up with a different topo. Chairman Flynn stated that they were still going to have to run the final perc on the lot when it is done, and that the concern of theBoard of Health was the leaching field location on a definitive plan. Planner Nelson pointed out that you still can't tell anything until you see the lot finished. Chairman Flynn stated that what they would like from the Planning Board is to know what is expected of the Board of Health, as they have not set up their procedures yet. Planner Nelson noted that the on-site sewer system was going to be the biggest problem.for the Board of Health. -5- Minutes March 20, 1973 Town Planner Maurer pointed out that they would also have to look at lot drainage. Planner Nelson stated that they would like the Board of Health to look at where the water is going as they are of the opinion that you can't run it into the ground that you have to run it into a stream or pond. Chairman Flynn questioned if there was information that the Board of Health could give to the Planning Board. Planner Latham questioned when the Pere tests could be taken. Chairman Flynn stated that they intended to go along with the procedures of the past Board of Health until they find which areas are weak and then they would notify the Planning Board. Chairman Flynn stated that they would like to know what the Planning Board expects from the Board of Health so that the two Boards could work in a co-operative fashion. They would like to stop the building of foundations before the issuance of the building permit. They would like to know how a person gets from submitting a plan to the issuing of the building permit to the issuance of the occupance permit. Board of Health member Walter Main stated that he felt the biggest thing is to try to cooperate 100% with both Boards so that they do not criss-cross. Chairman Flynn questioned if there was any way that the subdivision plans could be cross-referenced to a soils map so that it could serve as a flag to the Board of Health that it may be a potential area of problem and they can therefore instruct their agent to be careful. Chairman Flynn stated that they intend to observe with the agent. Chairman Flynn questioned why the Board of Health did not get copies of the Form 4 Plans. Planner Nelson stated that a Form A is basically a method to record; a lot in Taunton and that it is not a subdivision. Chairman Flynn stated that they would not be using the soil map as a decision making tool that they would just be using it as a guide. Board of Health requested to have a copy of the Form A plans submitted and have them associated with the soil map. Chairman Flynn questioned the procedures on the subdivision plans. Planner Wellington noted that the applicant first submits a preliminary plan. Chairman Flynn questioned if this same plan would be submitted to the Board of Health for their recommendations. It was noted that it would be. Planner Nelson suggested that the Board of Health could have a stamp stating that the Board of Health approves the plan based on perc tests and drainage be acceptable when the builder is ready for a building permit. This way the Planning Board will know that the Board of Health has looked at the plans and the Board of Health requirements would be right on the plan. Board of Health Member Main stated that this would be good in case the property is sold the restrictions are still on the plan. Town Planner Maurer noted that the past Board of Health had required some lots to have percolation tests done prior to the approving of the lots. Chairman Flynn stated that if the Planning Board would cross-reference the soil. map to the subdivision plans it would be easier for them. Town Planner Maurer pointed out that in the Canoe River Acres Subdivision the previous Board of Health had required the percolation test be taken before the approving of the plan based on its location in reference to the soil map and based on the results of the percolation test the Planning Board has required that the underground drainage be installed and working properly prior to the approving of the plan. Board of Health Member Kevin Hunt pointed out that by cross-referenc,ing.the subdivision plans to the soil maps they would be pro- tecting the Town, would be getting better co-operation between the two Boards, and they are protecting the developer. -6® Minutes March 20, 1973 Planner Wellington stated that he thought it might be helpful to the Board of Health if they even cross-referenced the Form A Plans, as sometimes they approve forms A's with subdivision going in the rear property and then the. Board of Health could be aware of this. Chairman Flynn requested this to be done to try to prevent buildings from being started prior to the issuance of a building permit. Town Planner Maurer informed the Board of Health that the Planning Board keeps a list of all the Form A's that come in every week and they could just add a column for soil association and forward a copy to the Board of Health at the end of each week. It was noted that a State law has been passsed that the Planning Board cannot approve a subdivision plan without- approval of the Board of Health. The Planning Board has to act within 60 days on a subdivison plan but the Board of Health has no time limit. Question was raised as to how the Planning Board can take action within 60 days if the Board of Health does not make their decision within that time. Board of Health to question this with Town Counsel. Board of Health agreed to try to have their approval or recommendations to the Planning Board before the 60 day period has elapsed, and would try to have It within 45 days. Planner Zaffini stated that he felt they should get together with the Board of Health on plans that they feel they will have problems with drainage. Chairman Flynn stated that the Board of Health was going to try to meet onces a month on the same night as the Planning Board so that they can get together if they have any problems. Board of Health Member Main stated that his Board had decided to have a member of the Board walk the property prior to making a decision on the plans and suggested that a member of the Planning Board could go at the same time. This was agreeable to both Boards. .Planner Wellington stated that it might be a good idea to have a member of the Board of Health attend the public hearings on the subdivisions. This was agreeable to the Board of Health. Town Planner Maurer pointed out that the 60 days is very critical when it relates to the definite plan. He pointed out that the,Gircle "C" Stables Park was in a, ;preliminary plan, and the Board has 60 days to act on it. If the plan is disapproved it would have to be in regards to the subdivision regulations. Town Planner Maurer pointed out that on the Circle "C" Stables Park if it was related to the soilmap it would show gravel except in the back lots. Town Planner Maurer suggested that the Board of Health could ask them before the definitive plan is brought in if they would do test holes in certain spots as all of the review takes place during the preliminary stages and this would save time for the definitive deadline. Chairman Flynn noted that there were areas of prbblems that the Planning Board could do nothing about but if they would tell the Board of Health about them they have the authority to require more information, and would be glad to do so. Chairman Flynn noted that Page 30 paragraph 3 of the Sub&vis-ion Regulations refers to Communal sewerage systems and questioned if they were an accepted practice within the Town. Planner Zaffini stated that this would usually re- quire state approval. Chairjynn stated that the State approval is only required if it is more than gallons per day. Chairman Flynn questioned if the Board allowed private on site wells under a subdivision. Planner Zaffini informed them that they are considering one right now on Stearns Avenue. Chairman Flynn questioned if it was a requirement that septic systems be build in the front yards in subdivisions. Town Planner Maurer stated that they should be where there is best percolation. FA Minutes March 20, 1973 Planning Board to notify the Board of Health as to which property they feel { should be walked and when it is going to be walked. Board of Health requested ( a copy of the minutes of this meeting. 17. Planning Board and Board of Health reviewed the definitive subdivision plan for Canoe River Acres. Town Planner Maurer pointed out that the Planning Board required the installation of the under -drain system before approval of the plan. He pointed out to the Board of Health that they had met with the developer two weeks ago and that they had agreed to install the under - drain system. However, they were concerned with the fact that the test holes be dug upon the decision of the Planning Board, preferably during the wet season, and questioned if the Board of Health percolation test and the Planning Board test holes could be combined with an agent from both Boards present. Chairman Flynn questioned how close they would be to the Canoe River. Town Planner Maurer stated that it was 500 to 700 feet. Chairman Flynn questioned if they would be developing on the other side of the river. The Planning Board stated that they felt they would be as it was better land. It was the consensus of both Boards that the test holes and percolation tests could be combined, the Board of Health to determine the date at a later time. Town Planner Maurer pointed out that the former Board of Health was requiring a':$2000 bond to cover the construction of the under -drain system for houses on lots 5 and 7. It was noted that this installation has not been done yet. 18. Planning Board and Board of Health reviewed the definitive subdivision plan for Magna Vista Il.

Town Planner Maurer informed the Board that he wrote to Town Counsel and gave him the information concerning the plan back in 1962 and then the approval not required plan filed in 1968.

Board reviewed the letter of March 15, 1973 to Home Developers Inc, regarding the Leonard Street Pump Station. Town Planner Maurer pointed out that the Planning Boards approval of the pumping station was based on the advise from the Company and the Electrie6l Engineer for the Town. At that time the subdivision was a joint subdivision between Waldor Realty and Home Developers. The pump was on the Home Developers site. Waldor Realty had 4 occupants prior to the in- stallation of the pump. They held up letting anyone into the houses before the pump was installed. About two weeks ago Town Planner Maurer was informed that the pumps had been installed and it was going to be inspected by the manufacturer and Town Planner Maurer was unable to attend the inspection. Bill Cahoon, superintendent of the water department stated that he would not accept the pump station as it was not covered and the shed was not built around it. Town Planner Maurer informed the Board that on March 14, 1973 they found obt that Home Developers had requested an occupancy permit, and Town Manager Hannon would not give one until the pump was inspected.

Bill Cahoon stated that he would not accept it until it was working properly. After repairs were made Bill Cahoon retested the pump station including the emergency float and emergency alarm. Bill Cahoon accepted the pump as working properly because it was the kind of pump that was approved by the Planning Board. Upon talking to the manufacturer it was brought up that every house contained garbage disposals. The manufacturer stated that there might be a problem because the grease would cause the float to stay tipped, and the floats would have to be cleaned. Bill Cahoon is recommending that the Town not accept the maintanence for a period of one year. The Town will check it out but will not be responsible for the repairs, if any. It was the consensus of the Board that it should not be accepted until the roads are accepted. Town Planner Maurer to arrange a meeting with Charlie Boutas and Bill Cahoon to discuss this matter. 28. Town Planner Maurer informed the Board that the bounds are all set within the Magna Vista Recreation Area by Boston Survey Consultants, and the plan was sent back to the Planning Board with the bounds shown on it. Town Counsel to draw up the deed on this property. 29. Town Planner Maurer reviewed the Planning Board account.for Town Meeting. Town Planner Maurer pointed out that the Board had originally requested that the secreterial account be a salary account, and the Finance Committee is insisting that this remain an expense account. The Bristol Community Re- tirement Program states that any person working more than 20 hours for the Town has to participate in the retirement program. Under the salary account the secretary would be eligible for Blue Cross -Blue Shield and a life insurance. Benefits from the Town would be $319.68 on a yearly basis. The present rate of pay is $3,307.20 per year, when you add the benefits it comes to$3626.88 per year. If the Finance Committee does not go with the salary account, the secretary is entitled to a raise, which comes to $3,494.40 with the raise. The diference between the benifits and non-benifit is $1,1320 cheaper not to go for the benefits. Town Manager Hannon feels that for that amount they should go for the benefits. The secretary would work for the Building Inspector 6 hours a week and there is the possibility of her working for the Board of Health and other agencies. The new account would be 201-2 Planning Board secretary. The amount would be through the end of March assuming 18 hrs a week would be $621, to April 1st. The balance of $3,170 would be put into the salary account for a total of $3,955. - lo - Minutes March 20, 1973 30.

He did not know how they felt on Mobile Home Parks but he knew they did not want Cluster Development or Planned Unit Development. It was the consensus of the Board to have Town Planner Maurer get together the information on Performance Standards, Mobile Homes, Sit Plan Approval, and Enforcement Procedures and advertise for public hearing. Town Planner Maurer questioned if the Board wanted to consider having apartments in the second story of the Downtown Business area. It was the consensus of the Board that they are already existing so they shou,l.d keep them in. 31.

Town Planner Maurer presented the Board with literature on the plant in New York for their review. Town Planner Maurer statted that the plan proposed in Mansfield would have new facilities such as filters and the location in Mansfield was in a much more densly located area than the New York Plant.

Upon talking about screening the manufacturing plant assured Town Planner Maurer that there would be no problem. 33. Planner Wellington stated that two business men in the center of Town have verbally made an offer on the back parcel of their property to give it to the Town if the Town wants to make it into parking lots. Planner Wellington stated that if they were earnest that it would be proper to ask them to write a letter to the Planning Board and the Planning Board will forward a copy to the other Boards.
