PLANNING BOARD MEETING
November 24, 1969
of the Planning Board was held in its office on
1969 at 7:30 p.m. Chairman Lund opened the
Clarke, Fowle, Worrell and planning director
Frank Sandy, TMMA member inquired about the possibility of a meeting
of the Planning Board with the TMMA tentatively set for December 18
to discuss articles planned for the Annual Town Meeting in March with
the exceptions of moderate income housing. The Board agreed upon a
meeting on this date and stated they would plan to discuss moderate
income housing at a latter date.
At 7:45 p.m. Harold Stevens, attorney, met with the Board to discuss
the draft of the Planning Board article on nurseries as he would like
to see it amended. After a discussion of the restrictions on the sale
of certain items, the draft was further amended. A motion was made to
approve the draft as amended. With a vote of 2-2, the Board postponed
action on this draft to the next meeting.
Mr. Richard Lovell and Mr. Paul W. Boyd met with the Board next to
present the Niles Company Inc. outline of a rezoning proposal for
property near Concord Ave., near the intersection of Waltham St.,
owned by Mr. Nisham Haroian, which would provide approximately 100
apartment units renting for $275. The units proposed would be low
intensity townhouse type apartment complex. The chairman stated that
the Board is presently working on a subsidized housing zoning article
to be proposed at the March 1970 Annual Town Meeting and would not
support any apartment or RM zoning article unless a portion would be
made available for moderate -cost housing. The Board stated its prefer-
ence that any apartment zoning proposals be brought to a Town Meeting
other than the March 1970 Town Meeting.
The next item considered was the reimbursement to Louis Stoico as
recommended by the town engineer in a letter dated November 20, 1969
and upon a motion duly made and seconded, it was VOTED:
To approve the payment of $2,311.00 to Louis Stoico, Inc. for the
installation in Paddock La. subdivision of drains larger than
necessary to serve the subdivisions alone and to request the
Board of Selectmen to pay the above amount in accordance with the
provision of Chapter 570, Acts of 1962 out of the funds appropriated
under Art. 34 of the Warrant for the 1969 Annual Town Meeting.
Mr. Louis Stoico met with the Board to present a revised plan for a
condominium project to be located off Maple St. and Bryant Rd. Claude
Miquelle, architect, presented the plan for 207 living units (155
privately owned and 52 subsidized) in two-story townhouses in the mid -
twenties price range. The chairman reminded Mr. Stoico that the Con-
servation Commission is making a study in this area and has requested
that the development be postponed until the completion of the study,
and the Planning Board is proposing an article for the March Town
Meeting and would prefer that no other apartment zoning proposals be
brought in until the next town meeting after the March Town Meeting.
