Atty.

Strojny is here to modify the pavement width from the previous approval.  The ZBA in their decision wanted 24 wide and the Plannning Board suggested 18 feet wide. The City Planner informed him there is a conflict with the Board.  Bob thought 18 feet would be wide enough and then they could put utility poles along side.    He doesn’t like the idea of poles in the pavement. Atty. Strojny said there has been some progesss done on the deeds and easement and it’s now in the hands of the law Dept. for council approval.  He stated the fencing materials have been purchased and they are to close on lot 1 soon.  Manny stated he voted against this previously but he watched the ZBA meeting and they wanted 24 wide and he thought there would be water here.   Manny thought the proposal was to reduce the pavement width from 24 to 18.  The City Planner informed him no they want to widen the pavement width to 24 wide.   Manny was  ok with that.
Josh made motion to open public input, seconded by Tony. All in favor. No one in favor or opposed.

Atty.  Matthew Costa, Gay & Gay, Bruce Thomas, owner and Tony Fruchtl, Project Mgr,  Ayoub Engineering Inc. were invited into the enclosure.   Kevin read the DIRB comments into the record and placed on file.    Kevin stated there have been some changes to the plans after meeting.  Tony stated the property is on the corner of Hart Street and County Street.  The proposal is for a convenience store, bank, restaurant and gasoline station.  They met with the DIRB and met with the Water Dept. relative to condition #26 regarding the water line.  Tony stated they have no concerns with the DIRB comments with the exception of #28 of which the owners can talk about.  Atty. Costa stated he object to condition #28 relative to land takings.   He stated it’s has been the City’s desire to widen the intersection and its unfair to ask his client to contribute land for this widening.  He stated the request is not based on the impact of the project but the City’s intentions to widen the roadway.  It puts his client in a difficult position.  He stated the petitioner has contributed $350,000 for mitigation when he developed the CVS across the street and also gave strip of land for future widening.   Kevin stated the ANR plan is done for one side but not the CVS side.  Atty. Costa stated the water main is not his issue and he is willing to fix it as a compromise.  Atty. Costa stated this project will result in tax revenue to the city.  Atty. Costa stated the Planning Board has no authority to require the application to give land for no compensation.  Atty. Costa asks the Board to adopt the DIRB conditions with the exception of #28.  Manny always felt Hart Street needed improvements and they are re-designing it.  It was noted this developer gave $350,000 towards the improvements.  Manny thought this proposal will most definitely be an impact to the area.   The traffic is horrendous and this will only add more traffic.  It was asked if the water main was less expensive if it is in the road?  If  it is off road its less costly for the City.    The 8” main is the issue it needs to be replaces or upgraded.   Bruce stated he agrees there will be more traffic but he met with the City Planner and slid the whole project over to accommodate for future widening and to ensure his property complied with the landscaping buffer.    Manny asked if this is a State Highway and it was answers yes County Street is.  Bob asked about the ANR plan and the proposed improvement plan. Kevin showed the concept plan showing 5 lanes on County Street and 3 lanes on Hart Street.  Bob asked what the width of the strip for the takings are?  It was not known.  Bob stated he has never seen a condition for a donation of land. He suggests it as an Easement for roadway purposes”  if the petitioner agrees.  He also wanted to see the water main moved within the setback areas.  The on-site traffic with the pedestrian vehicular access at the drive-thru for the restaurant is Zero site distance.  That can be easily resolved by sliding the building over and bump out and move landscaped area.  He stated the other building is not so easy.  Tony questioned sliding the building over.    The pedestrian area is less of an issue because it will be marked with proper signage.  City Engineer suggests bump out and put at other location and move widow?  Kevin suggests eliminates the access off Hart Street.  Bob was concerned with site distance.  Bob stated that something needs to be done on County Street designating them to stop and who has the right of way.  Bob asked if Mass. Highway has seen these plans. Tony stated yes they have seen preliminary plans and they are DOT standards.  Bob stated it is very busy at the crosswalk from restaurant to landscaped medium to gas pumps.  It was suggested pushing building back and slide dumpster over.  Manny asked if there was a traffic study done?  Tony stated there have been studies done as a part of mitigation.  Atty. Costa stated the easement they suggested for roadway purposes is achieving the same thing as taking it.   He has concerns for his client if the City widen the roadway and they take land without compensation.  Atty. Costa stated the City does have the right to take it but have they have to compensate.  Kevin stated at the other meeting Atty. Gay stated they will be discussing mitigation.  Atty. Costa stated it’s not fair to put the burden on is Mr. Thomas.  Atty. Costa is relying on his research on eliminate domain and the Supreme Court would not allow this demand of extortion (mitigation) This is a public works project.  Mark stated if this is identified as a public works project and identified as something else then we would need another traffic study.  Mr. Thomas stated he, as part of mitigation, is addressing the water main issue.  He stated he has paid for 25% of the plans from his other development.  He stated the tribe has taken over and there has been a traffic study done.  He asks the Board to take out condition #28.  Blob stated with subdivision the City ha s never asked for money but he would ask for an easement. “for roadway purposes”.  Atty. Costa stated the net result is the same the City will get land for no compensation.  Atty. Costa stated his client has cooperated with a lot of departments and various board.  Arthur stated if we get easement he will still own property.  Kevin answers no, we are asking him to give us easement for no compensation.
Arthur made motion to open public input, seconded by Tony.   Karen McCune, 143A Hart St., stated she bought her house in 2005 and the area is very congested with a lot of accidents.  Speed is an issue and someone has even hit tree next to her house.  
Bob made motion to close public input, seconded by Arthur.
Bob asked if they would want to continue to see if they could incorporate all our suggestions to see if they will work?   They did not want to hold it up another month.
