Discussion on PZC conditions for Senior Housing
David Berto handed out copies (attached) of the list of PZC issues holding up the HUD funding release process. He led the discussion on each item.
1. Plans to be revised prior to filing mylars and issuance of special permit--Hank Torcellini will take care of adding the recreation area to the plan. The area will be 32,000 square feet. Drainage, well and septic are already included in the plan.
2. Active recreation area--Susan Yorgensen said PZC wants the active recreation area designated and marked with exactly what is going in the area. This is required for Senior Housing in Willington. She is waiting for the plan so she can review it, and will then pass it onto the commission so that they can approve it. Dave Berto noted that HUD will need to see the active recreation area, drainage area, etc. so that they can see how it ties together. John Patton said that the resolutions cover that. Mike Eldredge said that the Board of Selectmen will work on the resolutions at the meeting on March 20, 2006. Hank Torcellini asked
what if the recreation area is out of the setback lines—Susan said that was ok.
3. Open space—recreation areas. This has been taken care of above.
4. Water supply--Approval attached.
5. Sanitary waste disposal plan approval--Hank Torcellini will get on the PZC agenda for Tuesday, March 21, 2006 with an application for a modification to try to take care of this. Mike Eldredge needs to sign the application.
6. Sample of restrictions--Dave Berto will provide the standard HUD forms and bring them to Susan who will review them with the Land Use staff.
7. Text of proposed covenants/restrictions--same as #6.
8. Lighting plan--Paul Selnau provided much of this information the night of the hearing. Discussion was held between Susan, Paul and Hank regarding the light spread around the emergency access way. Paul noted that the intent of the access way was for emergencies only and that we don’t want to encourage the seniors to walk there. Hank Torcellini agreed that this is not a walking path. Dave Berto stated that if the walkway is lit people will walk on it. Susan will talk to Planning and Zoning about this issue.
9. Lighting--included in #8.
10. Parking/transportation area--after a lengthy discussion between Susan, Paul, Hank and Dave about emergency vehicle requirements and a shelter from the proposed building, Mike asked if we extended the shelter to the road vs. having the road go under the shelter if they needed to do a modification of #10. Susan stated that this is not necessary and that Hank and Paul will make the changes and present them to her.
11. Erosion Control--Hank Torcellini will add erosion control notes to the plans.
12. HAS plans coordinate with site plans by G & P--Paul and Hank’s plans will be coordinated.
13. Underground tank--Mike Eldredge will contact our Fire Marshall, Dick Palmer, regarding writing a letter of approval.
14. Underground tank --John Patton and Mike Eldredge say that this has been done. Dave Berto agreed.
15. Fuel tanks are within HUD guidelines—Paul will write a letter saying that we are in compliance with the state requirements.
16. Tank will be in compliance with the latest DEP underground storage tank regulations—Paul will add notes to the plans.
17. Details for the contractors installation instructions—Paul will add a note to the site plan saying a preconstruction meeting will be held.
18. Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design Certification should be used. Paul noted that Energy
Star will be used in the building.
19. Technical revisions should be incorporated in the revised plans—Susan noted that before they run
mylars they must be presented to PZC.
20. Changes on approved plans must come before the PZC for review and approval—this will be done.
21. Updates/as-builts to show improvements must be submitted prior to c.o.—this will be done.
