Plymouth Energy Committee
Wind Energy Facility Zoning Bylaw
Brian Kuhn, representing the Plymouth Energy Committee requested that the Board revisit the Wind Energy Bylaw that was approved at Fall Town Meeting, 2005.  The bylaw that was approved defined the site for construction of a windmill as five-acre parcels of municipal land.  The Attorney General’s office approved the bylaw with the exception of the defined location.   The committee has spent several months trying to define areas that would be appropriate locations for the windmills.  Mr. Kuhn stated that the goal is to put a bylaw into effect that will encourage alternative energy solutions, but at the same time provide protection for the community.
Lee Hartmann stated that the committee has also worked toward creating a public process to identify an overlay district, but has been limited by lack of funding and staff support.
The Board was supportive of revisiting the Wind Energy Bylaw at this Fall Annual Town Meeting.
Mr. Kuhn invited the Board to take a field trip with the Energy Committee to view the Hull wind farm.
Loring Tripp requested copies of the current bylaw so the Board could begin the review process.

Marc Garrett left the meeting to attend a Conservation Commission hearing.

BOA 3376 – Cedarville Property Land
        State & Old County Roads/British Beer Company
William Shaw, Associated Engineers, began the presentation of a request for special permits in order to construct 14,000-sq. ft. of retail space and 30 units of age restricted housing on Map 54, Lots 5-2B-4, 5-3-1A and 6-6, at the intersection of State Road and Old County Road.  The retail would be constructed next to the existing British Beer Company with the residential component constructed at the rear of the site.  The residential section would consist of several town house units and a twelve-unit building with parking underneath. Sidewalks and crosswalks will direct pedestrian flow toward the retail center.  An auxiliary parking area has been located behind the Tedeschi’s site.  The applicant is in the process of obtaining an MOU from DPW regarding the traffic mitigations necessary.  The applicant has discussed with Bruce Arons, Community Development Director, making a contribution to another location for affordable housing.  All drainage and sewerage would be on site and the site will be serviced by municipal water.  The proposed plan has 45 more parking spaces than required. The petition has been reviewed by the Cedarville Steering Committee, which has submitted a letter to the Board outlining its concerns regarding traffic and safety and suggestions to improve the project.
Lee Hartmann informed the Board that staff had not drafted a recommendation to date, as there were 13 points of discussion that needed to be addressed.  The thirteen points are as follows:
The status of the applicant’s meetings with the DPW regarding infrastructure improvements in the vicinity of the project.
The status of the applicants meeting with the Director of Community Development relating to Affordable Housing.
Review of the architectural design and layout of the retail building, 12-unit age restricted building, and the 18 townhouses.  
A description of façade treatments and building materials.  
The location and screening of building mechanicals (HVAC).
Review of the traffic impacts of this project and the improvements required for the nearby project (currently under appeal).
Review of site landscaping and buffers to abutting residential dwellings.  Street furniture should be included in the plan.  The box type lighting proposed is not in keeping with a mixed use/residential development.  Decorative lights are encouraged.
The acceptability of the proposed 12-foot retaining wall.
The acceptability of having parking 300 feet from the nearest residential dwelling and 500 feet from the proposed retail building.
The amount of gravel to be removed from the site.
Location and screening of trash receptacles.
Curbing and sidewalk treatments along State Road and Old County Road.
Document total number of parking spaces proposed.
A peer review of the project has outlined five issues regarding traffic patterns and the need for site plan approval.  
Anne Skelly, Cedarville Steering Committee, informed the Board that their comments echo the concerns of staff.  There is a need for small retail space, but traffic and safety is a concern.  The committee also suggested installing sidewalks on Old County and State Roads, installing landscaping on all four sides, and buffering from the abutting neighbors.
Mr. Shaw stated that the applicant would like to begin the retail component of this as phase one of a master plan.  They understand that the residential component would need to be worked out with the neighbors.  They would also need a gravel removal permit for the necessary grading of the site.
Larry Rosenblum felt that the residential component was too dense.   There was no significant usable space for residents or any amenities provided.  Mr. Rosenblum suggested putting multiple entrances to the retail building instead of having a solid façade facing Old County and State Roads.   He was also concerned with the parking appendage behind Tedeschi’s becoming a dumping area.  Mr. Rosenblum suggested that the topography of the site could be used to a better advantage.  
Paul McAlduff stated that significant landscaping would camouflage the façade of the building.
Mr. Shaw stated that they could return at a future meeting with further detail on the project.
Loring Tripp had a variety of concerns regarding the access and egress for the residential component and the commercial area.  Mr. Tripp suggested that the two components should be separated with the commercial access off State Road and the residential access off Old County Road.   Mr. Tripp suggested removing the 12-unit building as the project was too dense and relocating the townhouses to leave more open space and be more sensitive to the neighbors.  He also felt the parking was excessive and that the streetscape should be similar to that which was approved for the Stop & Shop project across the street.
Malcolm MacGregor agreed with the comments made by both Mr. Rosenblum and Mr. Tripp.  Mr. MacGregor suggested relocating the retail building and he was not in favor of any gravel removal from the site.   
Mr. Shaw, the applicant, and other representatives left the room to discuss whether to move forward or to postpone their hearing.

Marc Garrett returned to the meeting.

Public Hearing (cont.)
B537 - South Meadow Village
Atty. Edward Angley presented revised plans for a Village Open Space Development on Map 105, Lot 8-3 and 8-4, South Meadow Road.  The current plan details six townhouse units (three duplexes) on a 2.9-acre site with a common driveway.  The site would have 1.22 acres of open space.  
Mark Flaherty, Flaherty & Stefani, Inc. reviewed the surrounding neighborhood and the existing conditions on the site.  The site could have a standard three-lot subdivision with duplex units or eight units including two affordable housing units as bonus units.   The plans showed a fifty-foot buffer along both sides and 75 feet along back of the site.  NStar owns a thirty-foot lot that runs along the east side and the rear of the site.  Approximately 5,000 cubic yards of fill will need to be brought in to the site. Mr. Flaherty stated that the West Plymouth Steering Committee suggested that additional parking spaces should be provided therefore, the increase to 28 spaces.  Mr. Flaherty stated that the architecture would be similar to the Murray St. project.   The townhouses would have 1250 sq. ft of living space on the first floor with 350-sq. ft. on the second floor - two bedroom units some with a loft.   Mr. Flaherty reviewed the grading and utility plan and the drainage for the site.  The Town is reviewing drainage issues on South Meadow Rd.  The hydrant flow test has been completed and determined that there is adequate water pressure and flow.  There are existing hydrants on South Meadow Rd and one will be installed on the site.  The units will have interior sprinkler systems.  There will be three septic systems on site. Jon Henson handed out two planting plans for the site.  He reviewed the preferred alternative, which included shade tree plantings along South Meadow Rd., with low level planting at the entry area, plantings surrounding the drainage area, and shade trees along the drive to reduce headlight glare.  Open grid pavers with grass planted in between will be installed in the two turnaround areas provided for emergency or service vehicles.  Two crescent shaped retaining walls will be installed.  The units will be surrounded by a lawn area which extends to a meadow area to be planted with a wildflower mix and additional plantings that will extend to the buffer area around the perimeter of the site.
Atty. Edward Angley stated that the density calculations allow for a total of six units.  There will be some tree trimming in the right of way to improve sight distances.  Atty. Angley stated that all drainage would be contained on site.
Lee Hartmann stated that this alternative provided a good design for the site.  Mr. Hartmann suggested adding a condition that would prohibit “chain link” fencing around the retention area. Mr. Hartmann felt that the 22-ft. driveway would provide ample parking spaces along the side and that some of the parking spaces shown could be eliminated.
Harold Volta and Donna Forbes were concerned with the traffic impact on South Meadow Rd. and the existing drainage issues.
Larry Rosenblum felt that the entire length of South Meadow Rd. is a safety issue as the traffic moves too fast and the road could use some calming measures.  He stated that the drainage issue needed to be addressed by DPW.  Mr. Rosenblum suggested using the pavers for the overflow parking areas as well as the turnarounds.
Paul McAlduff suggested eliminating the extra parking spots and using the pavers for the parking areas.  Mr. McAlduff was concerned that the 22-ft. width of the driveway might be excessive.    
Malcolm MacGregor suggested narrowing the driveway.
Mr. Hartmann explained that the Fire Chief prefers the 22-ft. wide driveway for a better turning radius for the emergency vehicles.
Mr. MacGregor suggested keeping the driveway at 22 ft. off South Meadow Rd. and then gradually narrowing the drive to 18-ft. beginning approximately 50 ft into the drive. Mr. MacGregor also suggested eliminating ten of the parking spaces.  
Marc Garrett was concerned with the increase to traffic on South Meadow Rd. and felt that the density could be a safety issue.
