Planning Board, 3/12/2012

A public informational hearing was held. Joe Riina of Site Design Consultants gave a general description of the project.The applicant will have to seek a front yard setback variance from the ZBA because, as a result of the subdivision process, a road widening strip along Loder Road will be required and this will make the front yard setback for the existing home, which is about 60 years old, non conforming. In anticipation of the applicant’s appearance before the ZBA, Mr. Riina asked the Planning Board for a letter to the ZBA stating that it supported the variance. The board agreed to send the letter which will be drafted by the Planning Department. The two lots will share a relocated driveway which will be at the edge of the property line separating the two lots. In response to Ms. Kutter’s question about the requirement in the Tree Ordinance for a buffer between the two lots, Mr. Riina said that if buffering was needed, it could be placed on the abutting lot.

There were no public comments and the hearing was closed.

This is a two lot subdivision where one lot will contain the existing house and the other will have new construction.The lots are 1.25 and 1.75 ac.The wetlands on the site, which have been delineated, will be in the new construction lot after subdivision.Both lots have driveways onto Loder Rd, and an effort will be made to align the new driveway with the one on the opposite side of the road.The project meets zoning requirements, has Department of Health approval for the new septic and 100% expansion areas for both lots and the Conservation Board has walked the site.Conservation Board representative Patrick Francois asked if a conservation easement could be put in place to protect the wetland.The applicant said this was a possibility, but the easement line would be drawn so as to allow the homeowner access to part of the wetland buffer with a wetland permit.Rain gardens will be installed to treat run off from impervious surfaces.The Planning Board scheduled a site visit.
