Page 2 Minutes for the Meeting of August 13, 2008 ***************************SUBDIVISION ADMINISTRATION*************************** PUBLIC HEARING 63 Paul Revere Road, Site Sensitive Definitive Plan: Mr. Hornig opened the public hearing at 7:45 p.m. on 63 Paul Revere Road. Mr. Fred Russell, engineer, and Steve Genova, the applicant, were present at the meeting. There were six people in the audience. Mr. Russell said that he had revised the graphic depiction of the trees to be relative to their actual sizes, trimmed back the grading on the site construction plan, added easements under the driveway, widened the driveway to 18 feet along the common portion, revised the landscaping, added more native vegetation and removed the terrace in back of the second house, which would have required approximately 700 cubic yards of cut. Mr. Canale asked for the data on the maximum house size. Mr. Russell said it would be 5,000 sf gross floor area (GFA) and 3,500 sf living area (LA) for the new house and the footprint would be approximately 1,800 square feet. The neighborhood profile shows a GFA of 4,947 sf and living area of 2,700 sf. Mr. Canale asked if all the applicant was committing to was site coverage and number of stories. Mr. Zurlo said the maximum living area on the plans would be 3,650 square feet on the new house. Mr. Genova said it would not exceed 32 feet in height. Mr. Henry said to the applicant to make sure they were measuring per the bylaw. Mr. Russell said they would be cutting, so it would be measured from the finished grade. Mr. Canale asked how many trees diameter-wise were they cutting and what was the replacement. Mr. Russell said they would be removing eight mature trees and replacing more than what would be removed. Mr. Canale asked if this were a caliper for caliper replacement. Mr. Russell said they were using the 2.5 standard for replacement. Mr. Canale asked if the utilities were still going through the trees? Mr. Russell said they moved the electric service approximately 10 feet, between the water and sewer under the driveway. Mr. Hornig said the drip line was still well over the driveway. Mr. Russell said he could probably move it a little more towards the house. Mr. Galaitsis stated that the foliage diameter of the trees was under-represented in the landscape sketch. He asked for a more realistic size of drip lines in future submissions. Mr. Canale asked if they were removing 710 cubic yards how many trucks would be used? With each truck 30-35 cubic yards would be removed, so approximately twenty trucks. Mr. Genova said he would like to use some of the fill to flatten some areas. Mr. Hornig said that appeared to be outside the limit of
