Planner’s Report
Bond Reduction – Lauren Heights
The Board received a request for bond reduction from Michael O’Malley. The Board also received a denial letter from Bob LaBossiere stating that DPW is not willing to reduce the bond amount at this time due to a break in the water main within the development. Several weeks ago the DPW had to respond to a complaint about a large amount of water bubbling up from the new roadway and running down the road. We determined that it was a break in the water main that the developer installed. We proceeded to shut the valve that supplies water to the development and the flow of water stopped. We can not reduce the bond until such time as the main is repaired, since the amount for the water main has already been reduced.
The Board took no action

230 Washington Street – Site Plan Review
Present was: Michael Dryen, Heritage Design Group
Eric Knapp, Hudson Washington LLC
Michael Dryen, Senior Project Manager for Heritage Design Group presented a site plan for a retail building addition at 230 Washington Street. The project site is part of the Washington Square Plaza, defined on the Town of Hudson Assessors Maps as Map 52, Lot 141, containing approximately .89+- acres of land.
The project for Washington Square Plaza was approved by the Hudson Planning Board in November of 1999. The vast majority of the site work had been completed in accordance with the Site Plan, with the exception of a certain parcel containing ‘Pad 2’, which was never fully developed due to lack of tenants.
Mr. Dryden explained that there are two changes to the approved Site Plan of 1999. There will be 4 tenants in the new building and the dumpsters will be enclosed.
Lee Murphy, Main Street – had questions regarding the amount of trips per hour and if they were expanding. Mr. Dryden explained that they do not expect a major increase from the present and the plan will be the same as the previously approved plan.
Rodney Frias, seconded by Tom Collins, moved to close the public hearing.
