Greg Zurlo was absent. ************************DEVELOPMENT ADMINISTRATION********************* PUBLIC HEARING 376 Lincoln Street & 73 Middle Street, Definitive Balanced Housing Development Plan : Present were John Farrington, attorney, Gary Larson, landscape architect, Mark Barons, project developer and applicant, Jim DeCelle and Jim Burke, project engineers, Andrew Zalewski, project architect, Jeff Rhodin, residential energy consultant, and Dan Dulaski, traffic engineer. Mr. Farrington described the proposed project which would be an eight unit Balanced Housing Development Plan with six free standing units and two units in the preserved Franklin-Warren structure. Middle Street would be used as the entrance for the private drive due to safety issues on Lincoln Street. Two units would be under 2,700 square feet and the remaining units would be at or under 3,500 square feet. There was a proposed pedestrian foot path from the subdivision to the Idlewilde Conservation area, but no path to Lincoln Street because the intersection was too dangerous and not really needed. The drainage would be more then adequate for this site. Pervious pavement would be used for driveways and sidewalks and a waiver was requested to allow for an increase of impervious surface to cover the use of the pervious pavement in accordance with the new zoning bylaws. The Homeowners Association would maintain drainage, common area, private driveway, porous pavement, and the landscape island. The Franklin-Warren structure would be maintained with the current architectural design and there would be a separate covenant.
