Mr. Zurlo joined the meeting. Patriot Partners, Creation of Lots and Parking Reserves Mr. Robert Buckley, Mr. John Hart and Mr. Ed Grant came to the Planning Board to update the board on what they would be doing with the lotting plan based on the TIF agreement with Shire. The Preliminary Subdivision Development Usage Plan (PSDUP) allowed internal lots to have frontage off the interior drive with compliance with the development standards based on the totality of the site. An exit strategy needs individual lots. Mr. Buckley acknowledged that there could be issues under the subdivision control act and local zoning for regulatory compliance. A plan has been developed providing 20 feet of frontage, as allowed by the State in the absence of a bylaw requirement. The PSDUP had no frontage requirements defined. Lots one, two and five already have frontage, and lots three and four will be configured to have 20 feet of frontage on Spring Street. This lotting plan would be the subject of an ANR. Mr. Hart explained the previous plan had 50 parking spaces in reserve for buildings 300 and 400. They have now put the spaces closest to the residential area in reserve, as well as moving the spaces off the front lawn on the other side and closer to the building. There would now be 160 parking spaces in reserve, allowing a decrease in impervious surface and an increase in the buffer area. The loop road is no longer part of the 400 building development and will be redesigned when the 200 building is built. Until then there will be connections through the parking lots rather than a separate road. Mr. Zurlo said he was unclear about the goal of changing the parking spaces and why it was before this board. Mr. Buckley said the Zoning Board of Appeals has the legal jurisdiction, but he wanted to update the Planning Board about the changes; this was just informational.
