informed the committee that the standard size of buffer needed for such an intermediate -size field is 30', although they also said that some towns vary that due to space constraints. An intermediate -size field would be permitted for the same hours as the larger field initially proposed. Lastly, on January 31, 2011, the LRC sent by email to the BLUPC a final revision of its proposal. "In our original proposal, the size of the multipurpose field was 330' in length by 195' in width. These are the maximum dimensions allowed for a full -size multipurpose field. In actuality, a full -size field can be smaller in length and still meet the industry standards for a full -size multipurpose field. "Attached to this email is a revised map of our concept plan. On this map, the dimensions of the multipurpose field are 300' x 195'. With the length of the field being reduced to 300 feet, this is the minimum length requirement needed for a full -size field and it would ensure that there is a 40 -foot buffer between the multi - purpose field and the abutter on the right side (east side) of the field, which includes the safety zone. A 40 -foot buffer would not be necessary on the left side (west side) of the field since there is no home located in close proximity to the abutting property line. On the attached map, the distance between the field and the abutter on the left side of the field is approximately 14 feet. In comparison, there is a safety zone of 10 feet around each of the three synthetic turf fields at Lincoln Park. Therefore, I believe the amended full -size multi - purpose field on the attached amended map would address the safety zone and buffer zone concerns that have been expressed by the committee."
