Request for Informal Meeting: Lex Children's Place, Pelham Rd, DiNisco/Facilities Donna DiNisco, DiNisco Design Ms. DiNisco explained that the town has purchased a property on Pelham Road with the intention of building a new preschool for the town. There is an existing school building on the site which the town has decided to tear down rather than renovate. They were limited as to where they could place the new school on the site because of the future plans to develop the site further. Ms. DiNisco presented the commission with two options for the school. Each option has an area for future expansion. She stated that there is a vernal pool on the site and they are proposing to keep the work 100 ft. from that, but work is proposed in the 100 ft. wetland buffer. Questions and comments from the commission: The commission suggested that the applicant explore some architectural changes which would keep the work outside of the 100 ft. buffer. The commission stated that they are very wary of approving work within the 100 ft. buffer. The commission asked if the school could have two stories. Ms. DiNisco explained that the age of the students makes this difficult. The commission asked that the project team explore making the areas more pedestrian friendly. The commission asked that the project team explore the possibility of combining the parking area with the Community Center. 7:19pm Continued Meetings/Hearings DEP 201-1063, BL 1020 NOI, 10-12 Rangeway Road Owner: Fisher Nominee Trust Project: New Single Family Home Dennis Greichi, Andover Consultants Mr. Greichi explained that they have submitted new plans to address the comments from the Engineering department.
