<br /> RECOMMENDATIONS ON APPLICATIONS TO THE BOARD OF APPEALS
<br /> 2. Hearings Scheduled for January 11. 1990 Mr. Williams gave an oral review
<br /> of the following petitions
<br /> 315 Woburn Street, Just Chicken Inc. , SP, to allow fast food service with
<br /> take out food service, the addition of 16 seats for consumption of food on
<br /> the premises, to permit the sale of coffee, and to allow two signs to
<br /> remain, as installed. The Board noted that compliance with the provisions
<br /> of Section 10, Landscaping, Transition and Screening, to the "maximum
<br /> extent practicable" is required to be achieved as part of the approval of

<br /> special permit is requested, deficiencies in landscaping should be
<br /> corrected. They also noted that no landscaping plan, as required under
<br /> Section 10.1.3 of the Zoning By-Law, was included with the application.
<br /> The Board agreed they had no problem with the signs, as installed, or the
<br /> addition of the 16 seats and seven additional parking spaces, but they

<br /> of all landscaping would be an excessive burden on this one applicant,
<br /> perhaps a complete landscaping plan could be developed and this applicant
<br /> start the first phase of the plan.
<br /> On the motion of Mr.Williams, seconded by Mrs. Klauminzer, it was voted
<br /> 5-0 to recommend the special permit not be granted until a landscaping
<br /> plan, as required under Section 10 of the Zoning By-Law, is approved.
