Pine Meadows, Moore Homes, Inc., presentation of sketch _plans: The follow- ing representatives from invited Boards, Committees and Commissions joined the Board to hear a presentation for the development of the Pine Meadow site (both singly and in conjunction with the adjoining Meagherville school site) by Moore Homes, Inc: Paul Marshall, Jacquelyn Smith - Board of Selectmen Judy Marshall, Donald Chisholm, Carolyn Wilson - Recreation Committee Lisa Baci, Joel Adler, Conservation Commission members, Melinda Vinton, Bruce Collier, Conservation Stewards, Charles Wyman - Conservation Administrator, and Elizabeth Flemings - Housing Advisory Committee. ' Frank Carney and Architect William Hubner, from Moore Homes, Inc., and Ron Wood and David Evans, from Guidelines, presented four sketch plans. The first plan showed a conventional subdivision of 104 lots with no golf course, located entirely on the Pine Meadows site. The second plan (Scheme A) showed a cluster development with all market rate housing in combination with a nine hole par 3 golf course on the Pine Meadow site. Schemes B and C showed cluster subdivision plans combining the Meagherville school site with the Pine Meadows site. Scheme B included a nine hole par 3 golf course on the Pine Meadows site, the same market rate housing plan as Scheme A and affordable housing on the school site. Scheme C included a longer standard nine hole golf course on both parcels with housing also on the two parcels. Both Scheme B and C cluster plans showed 152- 157 market rate dwelling units and 72 affordable housing units. Mr. Carney stated the alternative sketch plans had been developed to achieve the the objectives set forth in the "Guidelines" position approve by the Planning Board in March 1987. Objections were raised to the concentration of all the affordable housing on the Meagherville school site. Mr. Williams felt there should be more integration between the affordable and market rate dwelling units. Mrs. Marshall of the Recreation Committee asked for more recreation facilities on the school site. Mr. Marshall of the Board of Selectmen said he would prefer Moore Homes develop the two parcels as one development. In response to a question as to what Moore Homes would commit to, Mark Moore stated Moore Homes had identified wetlands, had borne the cost of developing the alternative sketch plans, would pay for a connection from Cedar Street through the school site to Garfield Street, as well as to develop and construct the new golf holes for the course proposed in Scheme C.
