Sitting: Peter Conner, Wendy Longo, William Keohan, David Peck, and Marc Betti.
Mr. Peck read the legal advertisement into the record.
Mr. Flaherty, Flaherty & Stefani, representing the petitioner, referred to a written presentation on file in the ZBA office. A third curb cut would be necessary if this petition is not granted. The existing driveway will be removed and grassed. Nothing on the ground will change only the ownership of the land will change.
Public comment offered in favor.

No public comment was offered in opposition.
Hearing closed.

CASE NO. 3454 – PLYMOUTH REGIONAL ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT FOUNDATION, INC. – HEDGES POND ROAD – continued from October 17, 2007.
Sitting: Peter Conner, Wendy Longo, David Peck, and Michael Main.
Mr. Conner asked the petitioner if he was willing to move forward with only four members sitting on the case because Mr. Richard had resigned.
Mr. Shaw, Associated Engineers, representing the petitioner, replied that he was willing to go forward with four members.
Mr. Shaw reviewed the petition and what was reviewed at the last hearing. 400,000 cubic yards of fill will be removed to lower the hill. The hill will be taken down to 28’ above the street level. Buffers will be left to shield the abutters. The closest neighbor is approximately 1200 ft away. The level of service will not be any worse or any better because LOS F is the lowest level of service. There will be 40 truck trips per day.
No public comment was offered.
Mr. Shaw, in closing, said that approving this excavation is the closest way of getting the mitigation of the intersection completed.
Hearing closed.
