Sitting:  Peter Conner, A. Wendy Longo, David Peck, Michael Main, and William Keohan.

Mr. Peck read the legal advertisement into the record.

Mr. Flaherty, Flaherty & Stefani, representing the petitioner, said the petitioner would like to reconstruct a converted boat house structure which was once a cottage on Great South Pond.  The petitioner purchased the property with a 2-story fire-ravaged house that was built it 2004. The petitioner would like to demolish the boat house and reconstruct a 2-story house.  The dwelling is non-conforming in that Lot 14 is land locked.   The fire-ravaged home will be demolished and only the foundation will remain. The hill would be sloped with three 4-foot retaining walls.  The existing septic system will be utilized.

A very long discussion ensued regarding the staff report submitted by the petitioner and the Planning Board recommendation the Board received with their agenda.

Public comment offered in favor.

Informal Matter
#3496 – NASR Jewelers
           Commerce Way

Sitting: Peter Conner, Wendy Longo, David Peck, William Keohan, and Michael Main.

Attorney Angley, representing the petitioner, said that the petitioner was presenting material as required by the conditions of the Special Permit.

Mr. Henson, Landscape Architect, reviewed the site plans, plantings, and entrance way.

Mr. Muller, Greenman-Pedersen, Inc. said the project was approved with a right in right out on Commerce Way with a “U-Turn” at the signalization.  The signal change will not be a benefit to the Town.  Widening of the roadway by four feet between the Park & Ride and the site driveway will be a safer option.   

Mrs. Longo made a motion to accept Conditions 3, 4, 5, 6, & 7 as completed.

Mr. Main further motioned that the petitioner return for a modification of Condition 1 & 2 with a letter from the Town Engineer stating the change in location of the “U-Turn” is acceptable.

Mr. Peck seconded both motions.

Unanimously approved.
 
Mr. McAuliffe, Director of Inspectional Services, reviewed a plan submitted with a zoning permit for the Village Landing.  The plan depicted a larger patio area and a retaining wall.  The Board was asked if the changes are considered a modification of the original permit.

Mr. Main made a motion that a Cease and Desist order should be issued and a modification should be made to the permit.

Mr. Peck seconded.

Unanimously approved.

No further business came before the Board.

Respectfully submitted,



Peggy Fitzgibbons
