Minutes for the Meeting of December 3, 2008 Page 3 ?? Use LEED standards; ?? Have a complete reconciliation of calipers for the trees; and ?? Move on to the preliminary to show the ideas fully developed. Mr. Henry said to remember to maintain the stonewalls, which were protected by MEPA. Ms. Manz said she would like to preserve the features of the site, but in no way could the rural character be preserved with 14 units at 7,200 square feet. Having gravel roads and no sidewalks would create a safety issue with children, which was a more important issue. Mr. Zurlo asked the Board if they supported a recommendation that the applicant proceed to the preliminary stage. Mr. Canale said to leave it to the applicant. Mr. Galaitsis would prefer another sketch. Mr. Cataldo said the lotting for the site would change with the roadway layout. He would speak with Meridian to determine the next step. *************************************REZONING************************************* Three Ledgemont, Rezoning: The Beal Companies came in for an informal update on the PSDUP being drafted. Mr. Nichols said they were not here to show designs, only to update the Board. The Beal Companies had met with the Conservation Commission last night and the public hearing was closed and they are awaiting a decision on the trees and limit of work area to retain. They were working with the Town on traffic mitigation regarding monies to fund at the beginning, performance based contributions, Lexpress monies and traffic demand management measures. Mr. Nichols shared a copy of Design Principles prepared in response to input from several Town constituencies and will continue to work on implementing into their final PSDUP. Mr. Zurlo asked when would the PSDUP be ready. Mr. Nichols said within two weeks. Mr. Zurlo asked what other public meetings were scheduled regarding the PSDUP language. Mr. Nichols said they were meeting on a regular basis to refine concepts and the PSDUP would be completed before the first public hearing. Ms. McKenna asked about the current thoughts in terms of building siting - would it be tucked behind or in front of the knoll? Mr. Nichols said there were no plans yet. Ms. McKenna said the neighbors felt that the garage should be eliminated and the building put behind the knoll with the short end towards the neighbors. She said to keep in mind that building on Spring Street would detract from the award winning site design. **********************OPEN SPACE AND RECREATION PLAN*************************** The Board members now have a copy of the open space and recreation plan update in hand to review it
