DISCUSSIONS:
Under minutes of April 28, 2014, - DISCUSSIONS – 7:45 pm – change to read: “ motion made to permit Cape Cod berm to match Cape Cod berm existing in the subdivision around the interior of the cul-de-sac only and use all vertical granite instead of sloped:” JOSEPH GAMACHE
Also under the minutes of April 28, 3014 - 8:00 pm discussion regarding Snow Street: make note that meeting was contentious and interpreted incorrectly. Going forward, the applicant should file an application for an A/ANR with the Planning Board in addition to filing an Adequacy of Access application as provided in Section XII of the Zoning By-laws.
Joseph Gamache wanted to add some further info to the Cape Cod berm discussion for Mr. Donald Shute. There is a correct way of doing it -a monolithic berm would be great but because of the tight radius of paving, it would be very difficult. He is suggesting that they do the machine berm on a binder and when they top coat it, it locks it in.
ZONING HEARING:
Ahmed Barakat amending his Decision to change the units from one bedroom to two bedrooms without any exterior change at 1479 Main Street, Hanson, Ma.
Planning Board commented that this was a good idea.
OTHER BUSINESS:
Town Planner Laurie Muncy informed the Board that late this afternoon she received a complaint regarding a property owned by Officer Jeff Bailey, 54 Thayer Drive, regarding filling of a drainage easement. The complainant accused Mr. Bailey of bringing in dump trucks full of fill to fill all of the drainage easement in. Ms. Muncy stated that the easement is a natural depression and is not a man-made detention basin, but is definitely part of the drainage system. Ms. Muncy will meet with Mr. Bailey to investigate the complaint.
Keeping up to date on Brookside Estates, Donald Shute, Ms. Muncy said that she has PMP out on site doing a review and a construction estimate, and should get back to her within a week or so.
Next meeting to be held on July 21, 2014.
