A direct quote from the Site Development and Use Plan dealing with the development of the building relative to the staging of traffic improve- ' ments should be included in the report. Article 61, Hartwell Avenue and Wood Street: The Board reviewed a proposed new location for Building #1 and its parking area. Mr.Bowyer reported that Spaulding & Slye Corporation indicated they intended to relocate Building #2. The Board agreed that it was not satisfied with the location of Building 2 as shown on the plan submitted due to its poor siting. Mr. Bowyer reported that Spaulding & Slye was concerned about the expense of preparing detailed surveys for the loca- tion of Building 2 and wanted the situation to be flexible. If another location for Building 2 is proposed, it must be shown specifically on the plans in order to comply with CD requirements. The Board agreed that Spaulding & Slye has two choices: 1) make a commitment to the location of Building #2 and provide the supporting documentation for it, or 2) not show Building #2 on the plan. Mrs. Nichols raised questions about how the parking lot for Building #1 would work in order to comply with the peak hour utilization restrictions and whether parts of the parking lot were in the flood plain. Mr. Sandy noted there should be some documentation from Mrs. Maguire, the owner of record of part of the land, that the development plan has her approval. Mrs. Uhrig abstained from the discussion of Article 61. Article 62, DeVincent Land, off Waltham Street: After some minor changes, the Board agreed the draft report is acceptable.
