63. ARTICLES FOR 1982 TOWN MEETING
Article 59, Marrett Road near Minuteman School: Mr. Bowyer commented on the
difference between the site development and use plan filed by Nolan, Norton
Company and the description of the proposal contained in the Planning Board's
report. The proposal continues to be for a building of 1050000 square feet and
25,500 square feet of site coverage. He explained that in order to provide
flexibility in the administration of the CD district and to avoid the necessity
of returning to the Town Meeting for a minor technical change, he had encouraged
Nolan, Norton to provide an allowance in the site development and use plan.
Nolan, Norton filed a site development and use plan calling for a total gross
floor area not to exceed 110,000 square feet and a site coverage not to exceed
30,000 square feet. After discussion on this point with Chairman Sandy and
Larry Smith of Nolan, Norton during the day, Nolan, Norton filed an amendment to
the site development and use plan with the Town Clerk. Larry Smith of Nolan,"
Norton and attorney Dennis Lowe were present to explain that through the amend-
ment, the developer waives its right to increase the building coverage or build-
ing floor area (as allowed in the special permit provision, Section 8.2.4 of the
Zoning By -Law) with the effect that the amount stated in the total gross floor
area and site coverage of structure are the maximum sizes to be allowed by the
special permit.
Mr. Bowyer stressed that Nolan, Norton had been cooperative throughout the
process and that he would take responsibility for the difference between the two
documents.
The Board reviewed a revision to its previously approved report that now refer-
enced the 85% limitation on parking spaces for a ten-year period. On the motion
of Mrs. Nichols, seconded by Mr. Sorensen, the Board voted 4-0, with Mrs. Smith
absent, to recommend that the Town Meeting approve Article 59 and to approve the
report on the Article, as revised.
The meeting was adjourned at 8:00 p.m.
