During informal hearings <br />regarding these barrels in July and September, a few commissioners were concerned that they are much more <br />visible then what is currently there. Mr. Pinsonneault stated that the trash receptacles which are currently being <br />used are not adequate for the current usage of the center, and these units are a solution. <br /> <br />The Department of Public Works (DPW) was allowed to place a few of the BigBellys out prior to this hearing <br />to allow the commissioners’ time to see these units in action. What the DPW found was that there was more <br />recycling, and they saw a reduced need to empty these units then the existing trash barrels. Kevin Maguire one <br />of the owners of 1733-1751 Massachusetts Avenue, who was attending for a different hearing, had a concern <br />that the sidewalk in front of that building is getting crowed. He sees the need for the BigBelly’s and believe <br />they are working, but that area is getting crowded. The Commission voted 5-0 to issue a certificate of <br />appropriateness for five (5) BigBelly Solar Compaction Systems in the town center. Certificate No. 2010-55 <br />Voting Commissioners were: Chairman, Joseph Welch, Alfonso Hernandez, Daniel Griffin Jr., and Robert Warshawer <br />and Associate Commissioner Carl Oldenburg <br /> <br />1048-1050 Massachusetts Avenue <br /> map 30 lot 73:Nick Afshartous, presented the cut sheet for new roofing materials, <br />Timberline Cool Series in Antique Slate.
