Draft Revisions to Zoning Bylaws – Discussion
The Board discussed final revisions to the Millbury Zoning Bylaws. A public hearing will be scheduled in March.
Cronin Brook Heights – Discussion and Update
Town Planner Connors advised that the original, approved release for $2,500 was never recorded and was apparently lost by the bank. A second release will have to be executed by the Board.
Snowplowing of the subdivision was being done by a prospective purchaser, however, since the bank may not sell the property to him, he will no longer be plowing. Ms. Connors has attempted to have the bank plow, but they will not.
Most of the streetlights have been turned off for non-payment.
8:00 p.m. Silver Fox Bus Lines Pre-Application – Attorney Peter Keenan
Attorney Peter Keenan, Norman Hill, Land Planning, and Steve Fox were present.
Attorney Keenan advised that Silver Fox Bus Lines would like to construct a four lot industrial subdivision, to include the current site and three additional ones.
Silver Fox Drive was constructed approximately 20 years ago, and was built to subdivisions standards at that time.
Norman Hill, Land Planning, told the Board that these were small sites, and will provide an additional tax base for the town. There are approximately 40 acres available, however they are encumbered by wetlands and power lines.
The width of the future road and top-coating was discussed. Stormwater management calculations will be required if there are any new, paved areas. Streetlights will be considered. Fire Department regulations, granite/concrete monuments and soil testing will be complied with. A waiver for sidewalks will be requested. Applicant will consider contributing to the bike bath instead. The Board agreed to waive development impact statements. There is a “T” turnaround proposed, a cul-de-sac (involving additional pavement) may be required. Mr. Hill responded that the “T” configuration is in compliance with the Subdivision Rules & Regulations. If a cul-de-sac is required parking and one lot will be lost. Ms. Connors offered advice as to how to include
the cul-de-sac.
Sewer connections are available on Riverlin Street now. Ms. Connors advised that, pursuant to the Subdivision Rules & Regulations for the Town of Millbury, if the property is within one thousand feet of a public sanitary sewer line the subdivision shall be required to extend public sewer to the development.
