Minutes for the Meeting of September 24, 2008 Page 7 <br /> <br />main house or carriage house. Whatever would be required they would comply with. <br /> <br />Mr. Hornig closed the public hearing at 10:40 p.m. Mr. Hornig said if the deliberations were not finished <br />tonight they would continue to October 1. <br /> <br />Board Positions: <br />Mr. Canale: <br />In the details of conditions it was likely to have better impacts then the conventional development. <br />Mr. Zurlo: <br />It would be difficult approving the development at this time. A model of the area was requested that <br />would show neighborhood context. There was no persuasive argument that had been presented to show it <br />would fit in the neighborhood. If the nine criteria for project approval were applied and the project <br />graded in that manner, the proposal would not get a passing mark. <br />Ms. Manz: <br />What additional information would provide proof? Mr. Zurlo said all the views are from the development <br />looking inward; the correct renderings to not show views from the abutters properties which is the <br />missing evidence The concerns were there, but the inclination would be to approve the development since <br />it met the criteria set out for it such as new limits, diversity in housing, smaller units, clustering and open <br />space. <br />Mr. Galaitsis: <br />There was enough information at this point and the abutters’ rights should not be overlooked. If the <br />historic preservation requires keeping the two existing structures then the proof plan should allow for <br />three units. He could not approve this development as it was. <br />Mr. Hornig: <br />The development positives are preservation of the two historic structures, clusters would be located in the <br />center of the site where we would want it, new structures would be quite low by current standards, a lot of <br />screening, and prefer unit mix, which was quite small. <br />Mr. Galaitsis made a motion to deny the special permit for 341 Marrett Road balanced housing <br />development. There was no second. The motion died for the lack of a second. <br /> <br />On a motion duly made and seconded, it was voted to adjourn the meeting at 10:58 p.m. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Wendy Manz, Clerk <br /> <br />
