Page 4 Minutes for the Meeting of September 24, 2008 Lillian Olmsted, Sandra Wood, Tom Todd with other signatures, and an unsigned letter. Mr. Waitt said the changes from the last plan as follows: ?? The driveway was relocated further left on the lot to save trees; ?? All utilities were relocated; ?? Trees added behind the units and around the perimeter (white pines); ?? Revised cross section showing the white pines; and ?? Architectural renderings. Board Questions and Comments: Mr. Canale: ?? Where were the plans for snow storage? ?? Would there be assigned visitor parking? ?? Trees heights shown were for five years from now? ?? Was there any discussion with abutters since the last meeting? Mr. Lopez said each unit has 2-3 parking spaces and there would be five visitor parking spaces, but none assigned. Mr. Waitt said there was ample room on the pavement for snow storage. Mr. Gwozdz said the white pines were now 7-8 feet and in 5-10 years would be approximately 24 feet. Mr. Waitt said to his knowledge there had not been any meeting with abutters since the last meeting. Mr. Zurlo: ?? Explain the driveway shift. Mr. Waitt said there was a utility pole in the way. ?? Was the intention to completely clear the Wachusetts path of snow as noted in the draft deed? The path would be cleared as much as possible. Mr. Galaitsis: ?? Concerned with the heavy concentration of units in one area. ?? Concern if there would be enough parking. Mr. Canale: ?? Require a Historic Preservation Restriction like on Shade Street. Mr. Lopez said it would be a condition of the approval and any variation would require them to come back to the Planning Board and Historic Commission. Audience Comments: ?? If you divided the lot and draw a diagonal line there were eight units on one half and two on the other. It was not fair to the Waltham Street abutters.
