Peter DiMeo the Architect explained the changes that they have made with regards to the concerns of the Board. He noted that the utility pole had been moved 10 feet from the property line in response to neighbors concerns. • Chuck Puleo asked if there was any gas in the building.

David Hart said that he felt that the noise would be reduced by the concrete wall since it will diverted towards the railroad tracks. Chuck Puleo asked if the dumpster would be fenced in. Mr. DiMeo noted that it would be. Mr. Di Meo noted that pre-cast concrete curbing will be used in the parking area. He noted that it was decided that granite curbing is not necessary due to the distance from the street and the cost factor of granite vs. pre-cast concrete. The Board reviewed the proposed conditions. Kosta Prgptakis asked if the cleaning of the lot on Thorndike Streete a year would be enough. Mr. Sullivan agreed that twice a year would not be a problem.

She suggested that it should be one way and that DO NOT ENTER should be painted on the roadway, for vehicles entering the lot only, however vehicles would be ane to exit onto Traders Way from the lot as well as utilizing the delivery area. Walter Power suggested that she contact Shaws since they were so cooperative in putting up the STOP SIGNS at the entrance to the parking area on Traders Way. Motion made by David Hart to send a letter to the traffic division requesting the ONE WAY and paint the street DO NOT ENTER, seconded by John Moustakis, and approved unanimously. Kosta Prentakis questioned the date of the PUD for Fafard since he knows that the condo association at the Sanctuary was established in 1986, and if the PUD was approved in 1986, how could the association have been established so quickly. Chuck Puleo asked if the Ground Round would need to get approval for the awnings that were put up. Debbie Hurlbert reported that they don't need approval for them. Linda Vaughan asked if Debbie knew who authorized the yellow striped lines in front of Salem Hospital. She noted that it is dangerous and there will be an accident there.

In the absence of the Chairman Walter Power, Linda Vaughan assumed the chair. FORM A - 25 BEACH AVENUE City Planner Bill Luster addressed the Board and stated that Attorney George Atkins had previously been before the Board to request approval of a Form A for this property on July 25, 1991 , but due to the Essex County Land Court' s requirements for a more detailed plan in regards to boundaries, the applicant is requesting approval of a new Form A once again.

He reviewed the following concerns which were raised during the site visit: 1 . Distance of the existing fire hydrant. 2. Sewer line and the length of the 3" pvc pipe. • 3 . Bring the sewer and water line down to the house and put a manhole in for the sewer? a� s 4. Turn around area.

C. the sewer line presently in place extends to the end of the paved street, but to allow the applicant to tie into a neighbors sewer line with an ejector. A manhole is not viable in this area due to forced sewer. Bill Luster explained that the extension of the turnaround would not be a good idea because there is the possibility of further developement beyond this lot, although the owners have no plans to do so at this time. Linda Vaughan reviewed the proposed list of conditions for the project, and the requested waivers . There being no further questions or comments from the Board members, a motion was made by David Hart to approve the Form C, seconded by Chuck Puleo and approved unanimously. • MISCELLANEOUS Kosta Prentakis reported that he was concerned about the traffic pattern behind the Shaws Supermarket due to the recent construction of the strip mall.

He explained that this subdivision was previously approve by the Planning Board on July 6, 1989 for Mr. & Mrs. Carlton Lutts, no work has commenced and the statute of limitations for the approval has expired. The property has since been deeded to the new applicants Christine Lutts and Daniel Wilensky. • Bill Luster also read a letter from the City Engineer stating that he could not concur with the project for several reason as follows: The City Engineer requested the extension of the 8" water main to end at the eastern most end of the turnaround. He requested that the fire hydrant and 6" gate valve should be provided extending from the existing 8" gate valve at the end of the existing main. He requested that the 24" existing concrete culvert should be replaced with standard precast drain inlet apron and its upstream end at the front of lot 25 and a drain inlet/manhole structure in the center of the cul-de-sac. Also a 24" culvert entering at 6:00 and exiting at 10:00 should also be provided and should end at the edge of the cul-de-sac with another precast concrete drain apron. He also requested that an 80 ' paved turnaround with a sloped center drain inlet with a 6" bituminous berm cub (instead of granite curb) be installed and extend out onto frontage of lot 25 to the end of the existing pavement ( to a point of 10 feet out from the lot 22 driveway, on the opposite side of the street. • The City Engineer also noted that the plan should describe proposed locations of any water service proposed from the street I/ • main as well as locations and design of any sewerage lift station and force main anticipated to be used in evacuating sewerage, as well as provide approximate locations of several sewerage force mains.

Bill Luster also noted that he felt that the Lutts' had been very cooperative with the city when it was first approved. Walter Power read comments from various city department and boards. Walter Power suggested that a site visit would be in order to examine the concerns of the City Engineer and to familiarize the members of the Board with the area since it was approved in 1989. It was decided to hold a site visit, and consider the matter at the next meeting of the Planning Board. OLD / NEW BUSINESS Greenlawn Avenue Subdivision • Assistant City Solicitor Leonard Femino was present at the meeting to discuss the concerns of the Board regarding the decision of the Board of Appeal to change an approved 3 lot subdivision by the Planning Board, to a 4 lot subdivision without the knowledge of the Planning Board. He stated that it is legal for the Board of Appeal to grant a variance and amend the number of lots in an approved subdivision. He also noted that the issue is a zoning issue and that the property in question is in compliance with the Salem Zoning Ordinance. Bill Luster noted that the decision of the plan by the Planning Board approving the subdivision stated that the "work shall conform to plan entitled "Definitive Subdivision Plan - Greenlawn and Glenn Avenue dated February 14, 1989, revised December 26, 1989. He questioned whether the applicant has to reapply when the plan submitted is not in conformance for which the Planning Board' s decision is partially based. Attorney Femino stated that the applicant will have to come before the Planning Board and present the revised plans, but that the issue of frontage and the number of lots is still .a zoning issue and is under the jurisdiction of the Board of Appeals. Walter Power expressed his concern that this will become an avenue for developers to get the number of lots that they want even if the Planning Board objects. He further noted that he • would like to see the Board of Appeal and the Planning Board get together on some of the decisions that are made. He noted that the Planning Board, years ago would get a copy of the agenda j . of the Board of Appeal so that they could review the projects that were coming up and make comments if they so chose. He stated that he would like to see that practice started again. Bill Luster stated that he felt that Walter should meet with the Chairman of the Board of Appeal to discuss the matter, and see if there could be more communication between the Boards. APPROVAL OF MINUTES Approval of the minutes of the meeting of September 19, 1991 was postponed so that the members could review them and vote on them at the next meeting. David Hart distributed a copy of his report on the Design Review Board Meeting held on October 11 , 1991 concerning the Salem Armory Project, to the Board members for their review.

McMahon explained the neighborhood of the Palmer Cove Yacht Club and showed an aerial photograph of the property to the Board. The photograph depicted the use of the property and the access . Atty. McMahon noted that in the past they had an agreement with Shetland Properties which allowed them to access their property, however Shetland had placed a berm around their property and the access is not possible now. He also noted that they had also had an agreement with Harbor Sweets, which allowed them to use their parking area on weekends, but they are now open seven days a week and their parking is utilized. He explained that the club wishes to purchase a portion of property which currently has two garages on it, and they plan to raze the buildings and grade it, for use as a parking area and for winter boat storage. He also noted that the neighbors are supportive of the project since it will improve the area. Walter Power noted that everything seemed in order, and asked if there were any questions from the Board. There being none, a motion was made by Michael Cunningham to approve the Form A for the Palmer Cove Yacht Club - 72 Leavitt Street, seconded by Chuck Puleo and approved unanimously. VILLAGE AT VINNIN SQUARE - AMENDED PLAN DISCUSSION • Attorney John Serafini and Developer James Zeiff were present at the meeting to discuss the amended plans for phase III of 1 the Village at Vinnin Square. They showed the Board an amended plan which showed the locations of the two six unit buildings that were approved by the Board at the meeting on September 5, 1991 . Atty. Serafini addressed the Board and stated that the mode of construction will be governed by what the real estate market can bare, and the financing requirements of the banks. He stated that the number of units approved for the project will not increase and that while the footprint may change, the greenery will remain the same. He also noted that the developer has been, and will continue to cooperate with the city. Mr. Zeiff addressed the Board and stated that the only change that he has made so far is that the original plans called for a 12 unit building that had a larger footprint than the two six unit buildings that are now going to be built. He noted that the two buildings will have less of an impact of the site. He also noted that the market is tough to predict and he has 13 people who want to buy the 12 units when they are complete. Walter Power noted that the plan is still working with a finite number of units but the footprint may change. Kosta Prentakis asked if they were to build as planned what the next building would be. Mr. Zeiff stated that it would be a 27 unit building, but noted that they can't predict what the market will be. • Chuck Puleo asked if they find that they can't build a 27 unit building, would the parcel be left until they can build it. Mr. Zeiff stated that they want to keep the development going and that if they could not build what is planned they would change the footprint. David Hart asked if there was a possibility that they would build a high rise for the balance of the number of units that were approved. Mr. Zeiff stated that they are proceeding according to what the market allows and if they get to build 230 units fine, but if not that is OK with them. He also suggested that the Board have site visit at their convenience to see how things are going. The Board will schedule that for sometime in November. SITE PLAN REVIEW - SALEM ARMORY Atty. John Serafini addressed the Board and reviewed the history of the Salem Armory project which was destroyed by fire 9 years ago. He noted that over the years there have been several suggestions for the use of the building and that the state issued two Requests for Proposals for the building. He stated that this proposal has generated a lot of interest. Atty. Serafini also explained that it seems that the project is moving rather • rapidly because of the need to show Washington that the city is 100% behind the project, since the funding is in jeopardy. 2 • Joe Lynch explained the plans to the Board and the renovations that are planned. Bill O'Leary explained the renovations to the Headhouse, which is currently under preliminary disposition to the Museum Cooperative, and includes museum retail space, exhibit space, office space and public orientation space. Mr. O'Leary reviewed the elevations with the Board. He noted the elevations on the New Liberty Street side in relation to the parking garage. He also noted that there will be wall mounted lights so that the area will be well lit. He also stated that there will be zones for transportation drop off and a service zone. Kosta Prentakis asked if there were any plans for benches on the site. Mr. O'Leary stated that there are none shown on the plan, but that has been discussed with the National Park Service and they would be open to putting some in. Chuck Puleo expressed concern about the flow of traffic on Church Street. Mr. O 'Leary stated that the street would be left the way it is. Chuck Puleo noted that bus traffic will require more room. Mr. O'Leary noted that taking some curbing out has been discussed, and that could be considered. Bill Luster explained that the Parking Garage is currently undergoing renovations and that when they are complete there will be more available spaces on the top level of the garage. • Walter Power read comments from other city Boards and Commissions. The Board of Health concurs with the project, the City Engineer concurs with the project, as well as the Building Inspector. A letter was also read from Congressman Nicholas Mavroules concerning the project. Walter Power called on the audience to comment on the project. Ellen DiGeronomo, Executive Director of the Salem Chamber of Commerce, stated the Chamber wholeheartedly supports the project. She noted that tourism would benefit from the visitors center, and this project enhances the opportunity to make Salem an attraction. She also stated that it is good for the community to work together. Council President George Nowak noted that this is the only plan that we have and that the Museum Cooperative should be congratulated and he would like to see the project move ahead. Annie Harris, Executive Director of the Salem Partnership, stated that the Salem Partnership enthusiastically endorses the plan and they are hopeful that the project will get underway in December. John Carr, representing the Salem Historic Commission stated that the Commission has formally reviewed the project twice, 3 and they are satisfied that the scale of the headhouse and the wall will be retained. He read a letter from the Commission stating their concerns, and stated that they are in favor of the project, and see it as a nice completion for the museum block. Edith Harmon of the House of Seven Gables stated that she personally supports the project. There being no further comments from those present, Walter Power declared the Public Hearing closed. Bill Luster addressed those present and stated that the process of finding a proposal for this building was a long one and that the city feels that the downtown needs this anchor for pedestrian mall traffic. He also noted that Congressman Mavroules, Senator Kennedy, and Senator Kerry are all working on the funding for this project. He asked the Planning Board to approve this project conditional upon the approval of the SRA and the DRB. He noted that they want to send a message to Washington that this week the Historic Commission, Mass. Historic, the Planning Board and the Salem Redevelopment Authority, all approved the project, to show that the Community is behind the project. Kosta Prentakis asked if there was a rental agreement in place as yet. Atty. Serafini noted that there is a formula to • determine the rent and that they are doing an analysis now. ` He also noted that they hope to have a 25 year lease with a 25 year option. Motion made by David Hart to approve the Site Plan Review for the Salem Armory, with conditions, seconded by Kosta Prentakis and approved unanimously. Bill Luster suggested that two Planning Board members represent the Board at the SRA and the DRB meetings. Walter Power and David Hart volunteered to represent the Planning Board. GREENLAWN AVENUE SUBDIVISION Bill Luster explained that the Board had received an opinion from Lenny Femino, concerning the Board of Appeal ' s approval of a change in the number of lots in the subdivision that was already approved by the Planning Board for a lesser number of lots. He stated that the opinion of Lenny Femino was that the law does allow this type of subdivision under Section 81 -0 with the condition that the Board of Appeal grant a variance from frontage requirements. He stated that a meeting has been scheduled with Richard Bencal, the Chairman of the Board of Appeals and Walter Power so that they may work out the administrative procedures to eliminate any further confusion • concerning Section 81 -0 and to work more closely on issues that will be presented to each board. 4 Bill Luster also noted that there is some question as to whether i the plan is in conformance as specified in approvals by the Planning Board and suggested that the Board not execute the Tri-Party Agreement for Mr. Brett until the questions are answered. Kosta Prentakis asked if the Board could make it a condition in the future that the developer cannot invoke Section 81 -0, to change the subdivision. Bill Luster questioned whether that would be constitutional. Walter Power noted that if he had known that the Board of Appeal was acting on that decision he would have attended that meeting. It was decided to hold off on the Tri-Party agreement until the questions are answered and Walter meets with Richard Bencal. OLD/NEW BUSINESS Debbie Hurlbert reported the status of the traffic suggestions that were discussed at the last meeting. She showed the Board pictures of the items completed, and noted that the stop signs had been placed at the exits of Shaws and Somerville Lumber onto Traders Way.

Those present were: Chairman Walter Power, Michael Cunningham, John Moustakis, Kosta Prentakis, Dick Williams, Chuck Puleo, and David Hart. Also present was Assistant City Planner Beth Debski, Debra Hurlbert and Eileen Sacco, Clerk. Beth Debski introduced Debra Hurlbert to the Planning Board and informed the Board that she would be taking over the Planning Board for her. She noted that the funding was approved for Middle School West and that will take up a lot of her time. TRAFFIC DISCUSSION Beth Debski informed the Board that a letter had been sent to Fafard requesting that they trim back the berm at the intersection of First Street and Swampscott Road, to allow for improved visual ability for motorists. • Sgt. Howell was present at the meeting to discuss the concerns of the Board concerning traffic at the intersection of Highland Avenue and Swampscott Road and Swampscott Road and First Street. He discussed suggestions made by the Planning Department for that area. He stated that Officer Burgess had been out to the area with Debbie Hurlbert and looked at the areas of concern. He stated that a CAUTION sign was suggested for Highland Avenue and that would be no problem. It was also suggested that the white lines be re-painted and that the word STOP be painted on the street. Sgt. Howell also noted that he has discovered that Traders Way is a private way, and has not been accepted by the city as of this time. Dick Williams suggested that there be NO LEFT TURN allowed from Swampscott Road onto Highland Avenue. Sgt. Howell stated that he could look into that and noted that Highland Avenue is a state road and it is difficult to change anything on a state road. He said he will check with the state and if it can be done a councillor will have to bring in an order, to initiate the proceedings. Dick Williams also suggested that if there is no street light at the corner of Swampscott Road, installing one should help • at night. He noted that he knew that there was a pole there but the lights are on every other pole on that street. 1 k Sgt. Howell also noted that there are no STOP signs in the parking lots for Shaws and Somerville Lumber as you exit onto Traders Way. Walter Power suggested that a letter be sent to them requesting that they install STOP signs at their parking lot exits. Motion made by Chuck Puleo to send a letter to Shaws and Somerville Lumber requesting STOP signs at the exits onto Traders Way, seconded by John Moustakis and approved unanimously. VILLAGE AT VINNIN SQUARE - AMENDED PLAN DISCUSSION Gordon Thayer, President of Vinnin Construction was present at the meeting to review the amended plan for Phase III at Village at Vinnin Square with the Board. At the last meeting on July 18, 1991 the Board approved an amended plan to allow for the construction of 2-6 unit buildings rather than one originally approved 12 unit building. At that meeting the Board expressed concern that by changing this structure all future buildings in Phase III may be altered and requested that the developer present an overall development plan for the Board to review. Mr. Thayer showed the Board a plan and noted the location of the 2 6-unit buildings. David Hart noted an area on the plan that appeared to be whitened out and asked if that area is to be different than the original plan. Mr. Thayer replied that • they need to see what the market will bear and go from there. Kosta Prentakis asked if they had given any thought to what they intend to do with the rest of the project. Mr. Thayer stated that they have pre-sold 10 of the 12 units that they are building now. He also noted that the road is in existence and the footprint will remain the same. He suggested that the next building could be a mid rise. Dick Williams stated that he was concerned that the developer would be coming in every six months to supersede the original plan. He also noted that the Board wanted to see an overlay plan which would indicate possible future plans of the developer for the rest of Phase III. Beth Debski agreed that the plans shown were not what the Board requested and noted that there must have been a misunderstanding. Walter Power stated that he understands that the market conditions in the past allowed a developer some confidence that funding would be approved, and the Board would entertain changes, but they would like to see a suggested layout of the overall picture of what it could be. David Hart noted that at the last meeting the Board had no idea of the location of the buildings and this plan is also • insufficient. 2 • Dick Williams asked if the overall number of units for Phase III would be changed. Mr. Thayer stated that they would be much less than originally planned. Mr. Thayer stated that he knows what the Planning Board would like and he will present that plan at the next meeting. GREENLAWN AVENUE SUBDIVISION - TRI-PARTY AGREEMENT Beth Debski addressed the Board and stated that on February 15, 1990 the Board approved a three lot subdivision on Greenlawn Avenue. Following that approval the developer, Charles Brett, was unable to obtain financing for the three lots so he approached the Board of Appeal for a variance to divide the property into four lots. She noted that on June 19, 1991 , the Board of Appeal granted the requested variance. She also stated that a condition of the Planning Board's approval was that a tri-party agreement be entered into with the Board, and the Planning Department has determined that the amount of money necessary to complete the improvements is $153,583 .50 and Mr. Brett is agreeable to that. Walter Power expressed his concern that the Board of Appeal can change the number of lots in a subdivision that has already been approved by the Planning Board. • Dick Williams noted that he was concerned that this would set a precedent. Chuck Puleo recalled that when the original request was made it was for five lots and there was opposition from abutters. Kosta Prentakis questioned whether the Board of Appeal could change a subdivision with a variance legally. David Hart suggested that the Board get an opinion from the City Solicitor on the matter. He also added that maybe MGL Chapter 41 , Section 81 -0 has been superseded. Jane Stirgwolt, a member of the Board of Appeal who was present at the meeting, stated that the Board of Appeal is careful not to overstep its bounds, and recalled that when the matter was presented to the Board of Appeal it was not presented as an incomplete road. Walter Power suggested that he would like to have a meeting with the Board of Appeal some time so that both Boards can get to know each other and the goals that they would like to see. Jane Stirgwolt agreed and stated that the Chairman of the Board of Appeal, Richard Bencal would be agreeable to that. Walter Power asked Beth Debski to review the history of the • subdivision with Lenny Femino and have him give an opinion as 3 to whether the Board of Appeal can change a subdivision that has been approved by the Planning Board. MIDDLE SCHOOL WEST - SITE PLAN REVIEW SPECIAL PERMIT Beth Debski informed the Board that the funding for the 19.6 million dollar renovations to Middle School West has been approved and they are ready to go out to bid. She noted that the issue of the drainage on Jackson Street has been addressed by adding more catch basins. Beth reviewed the proposed conditions for the project with the Board. She noted that the construction will take place while the students are in school and that any blasting that will be done will be early in the morning or after school hours. She also noted that some blasting may be done on Saturday. Dick Williams suggested that they put a notice in the paper to notify residents of the dates and times that the blasting will occur. Motion made by Chuck Puleo to approve the Site Plan Review Special Permit for Middle School West, seconded by Kosta Prentakis and approved unanimously. OLD/NEW BUSINESS • a. Berrywood Lane Discussion Attorney Robert Orsi representing the West Newton Savings Bank, was present at the meeting to discuss the Berrywood Lane Subdivision. He reviewed the history of the subdivision and how Prolog Corporation came to own it through foreclosure. He also reviewed the lawsuit against the City and the Bank which was initiated by the Schraders, and the decision was that the subdivision plan was rescinded as a matter of law when the owner failed to complete it by September 7, 1989, at which time the extension expired. Therefore the bank has to file a new subdivision plan with the Board, before it can be completed. He stressed that the bank wants to get the subdivision finished. He noted that they plan to complete the subdivision as originally planned, and will present a plan that is almost identical, without the property owned by the Schraders included. Chuck Puleo suggested that they post a bond or a tri-party agreement, in case the Schraders win their appeal. Walter Power noted that the Board wants to see the subdivision completed and that they would be willing to consider the plan that remains to be finished, however he cautioned that if any items are brought up at the public hearing that the Board is • unaware of, they will have to be addressed. 4 David Hart suggested that it would be beneficial for the Planning Board to have an aerial photograph of the area, and a locus plan of the adjoining streets. b. Site Plan Review - Armory - National Park Service Beth Debski stated that at the next meeting the NPS will present plans for the Armory, and Bill Luster would like to have the Public Hearing jointly with the Redevelopment Authority, so that they expedite the process. She also noted that the Design Review Board will be reviewing this project in detail and that the Planning Board can send a memo to them with comments. She further noted that since the funding for the project is in jeopardy, that it is important to show that the community is serious about its commitment to the project. APPROVAL OF MINUTES The minutes of the meeting of May 16, 1991 were presented for approval. Motion made by Dick Williams to approve the minutes of the meeting of May 16, 1991 , seconded by Michael Cunningham and approved unanimously. The minutes of the meeting of June 6, 1991 were presented for approval. Motion made by David Hart to approve the minutes of the meeting of June 6, 1991 , seconded by Dick Williams and • approved unanimously. The minutes of the meeting of July 18, 1991 were presented for approval.

Approval of Minutes �� M2lWP SALEM PLANNING BOARD MINUTES OF MEETING THURSDAY, JULY 18, 1991 A regular meeting of the Salem Planning Board was held on Thursday, July 18, 1991 , at 7:30 P.M. in the second floor conference room at One Salem Green. Those present were: Chairman Walter Power, Debra Hilbert, David Hart, Dick Williams, Kosta Prentakis, Chuck Puleo, Linda Vaughan, �u�� and Michael Cunningham. Also present were City Planner William Luster, Assistant City Planner Beth Debski, and Eileen Sacco, Clerk. FORM A - BEACH AVENUE Attorney George Atkins addressed the Board on behalf of his clients to request that the Board approve the Form A for two lots on Beach Avenue. He described unusual problems concerning the lots which were deeded improperly at approximately the turn of the century and as a result the buildings encroach lot lines and are encroaching the high water mark. He showed the Board a plan which showed the lots as they exist presently. He stated that they intend to transfer portions of the parcels to make the situation correct. He also noted that they have received • variances from density and frontage from the Board of Appeal and provided the Board with copies of the decisions. Walter -Power asked when the buildings were constructed. Atty. Atkins stated that they were built around the turn of the century. Walter Power stated that the plan seemed to be in order noting that the buildings were in existence before the subdivision control laws were in effect. There being no further questions or comments from those in attendance, a motion was made by Dick Williams to approve the Form A, seconded by Linda Vaughan and approved unanimously. DETERMINATION OF SPECIFIC AND MATERIAL CHANGE - 5 BALCOMB ST. Beth Debski addressed the Board and stated that on March 20, 1991 , Fernando Gomez was to appear before the Board of Appeal to present his plans requesting a variance to convert a 2 family to a three family at S- Balcomb Street. She stated that Mr. Gomez was unaware that he had to be present at the meeting, and did not attend, and the Board of Appeal ' denied the application for a variance. She further noted that Mr. Gomez had filed for a Determination of Specific and Material Change with the Planning Board two months ago and also failed to attend the meeting. Mr. Gomez was present at this meeting to present his plans to the Board. 1 • Mr. Gomez addressed the Board and stated that his original plans were to convert the third floor of his house to an apartment for his mother. His present plans are the same, however, he has changed the layout for the third floor. Originally the bedroom on the third floor was to be located above the kitchen on the second floor. He has now changed that, so that the kitchen would be in that location. He also noted that there are no exterior changes to be made. It was also noted that five years ago a variance was granted to convert this property to a three family. City Planner Bill Luster noted that although the changes are minor, he felt that the issue was whether or not to allow the applicant the change to go back to the Board of Appeal for a fair hearing. Beth Debski agreed noting that the definition of Specific and Material Change is vague and there is not much guidance given from Chapter 40A. Walter Power noted that the plans to change the layout were minor and stated that he felt the issue is would the Board like to see the applicant go back to the Board of Appeal for a fair hearing. There being no further questions or comments from those present, a motion was made by David Hart to approve the Specific and • Material Change for 5 Balcomb Street, seconded by Dick Williams and a vote was taken and the results are as follows: IN FAVOR AGAINST Walter Power Kosta Prentakis Linda Vaughan u n Debra Hilbert g Michael Cunningham Dick Williams David Hart Chuck Puleo John Moustakis Beth Debski noted that with two members voting against the motion it could not carry. Chairman Walter Power asked the members for a clarification of the vote and all members voted in favor so the motion carried. Walter Power asked City Planner William Luster to send a letter to the Board of Appeal and explain the Planning Boards position that although the changes presented were minor and not what they would consider substantial enough to be allowed to go before the Board of Appeal for a second chance, the Planning Board feels that this applicant should be allowed to go before the Board for a fair hearing since the matter should have been tabled • rather than denied when Mr. Gomez did not attend the meeting. 2 . VILLAGE AT VINNIN SQUARE - DISCUSSION City Planner Bill Luster addressed the Board and stated that the owners of the Village at Vinnin Square had been granted approval for phase three of their project several years ago for 198 units. He noted that the original plans called for 12 plexes to be built, however due to the slow down in the real estate market they stopped building and have since sold their capacity. They are now ready to build more units, however they wish to change from 12 plexes to 6 plexes. He also noted that the Board had made these kinds of changes in the past for Fafard and that the city sees this as a favorable thing for the city to add to the tax base. Atty. John Serafini Sr. addressed the Board on behalf of his clients and stated that the style of the building will be the same, and that his client feels that this would be a marketable product. He also noted that the number of units would not change and that this provides for more green space. He further noted that his clients wishes to test the market with these units. Atty. Serafini also stated that the bank would not finance the 12 plexes, but they are willing to finance the 6 plexes. Kosta Prentakis asked to have the location of the building • explained in relation to the existing buildings. Atty. Serafini identified the areas on the original plan submitted for approval. Walter Power noted that since the plans shown at this meeting were the original plans and not an updated plan showing the location of the 6 plexes, the Planning Board should be given some more time to see where this is at. He also noted that he would like to see the elevations. Beth Debski reviewed the locations for the members on the original plan. Atty. Serafini noted that they want to try this and if they are successful, they would be back with more changes to the plan. He also noted that they are only requesting to change one 12 plex to 2-6 plexes. Dick Williams stated that he would like to see an overlay with the -proposed changes on the same scale, showing what they intend to do with the rest of the property. City Planner Bill Luster stated that he felt that it would be impossible for Mr. Zeiff to be able to tell in 1991 what he could build in the future. Debbie Hilbert suggested that the Planning Board approve the Is changes with the condition that they come back with changes 3 to the Board. • Bill Luster asked if they could have an overlay prepared for the next meeting. Atty. Serafini stated that they would present it at the next meeting. Walter Power asked that the Planning Department prepare a history of the project for the Board for the next meeting. City Planner Bill Luster agreed that the presentation should have at least shown where the building was going to be, but suggested that the Board amend a portion of the site plan to read that building #7 can be changed to 2-6 plexes, instead of 1 -12 Alex, and have the developer attend the next meeting and show the Board a new plan which shows the location of the buildings. Kosta Prentakis stated that he would like the developer to also project what they plan to do with the rest of the area in the future. Dick Williams stated that he would agree, as long as the buildings were contained in the original foot print. Debbie Hilbert suggested that the Board approve the change from • 1 - 12 plex to 2 - 6 plexes on the condition that the applicant come to the next meeting and show the Board a new plan with an overlay showing the placement of the 2 buildings in the context of the existing plan. She also suggested that the plan show the elevations and that page 7 of the site plan should be noted. David Hart suggested that each of the potential or existing buildings should be identified by a specific number. Walter Power requested that the amendments should be numbered so that if further amendments are necessary in the future they can easily be identified. Attorney Serafini stated that they would be willing to come to the next meeting with the information as requested. Motion made by Deborah Hilbert to approve the change from 1 - 12 plex to 2 - 6 plexes, and the applicant shall come to the next meeting and present the plans with an overlay showing the location of the 2 - 6 plexes in relation to the existing buildings and that the elevations be shown, and the numbers of the existing and potential buildings be indicated on the plan, seconded by David Hart and approved unanimously. • 4 PUBLIC HEARING - SITE PLAN REVIEW SPECIAL PERMIT - MIDDLE SCHOOL WEST Beth Debski addressed the Board and explained that Middle School West is the third school project of the $39 Million dollar racial balance plan. She explained that the funding for the project from the state is still in the works and that Salem is high on the list of projects to go forward. She stated that they had hoped to go out to bid in August, have the bid openings in September and start construction in October. Beth also explained that the project calls for the gym and cafeteria to be torn down, and a new auditorium and cafeteria would be part of the 85,000 s.f. addition that is to be constructed. She also noted that there would be new parking and a new ticket booth will be installed at Bertram Field. Kosta Prentakis asked how many new parking spaces would be added. Beth replied that there are presently 40 spaces and 150 new spaces would be added. Debbie Hilbert questioned whether that much parking would be • needed. Mary Manning, the Principal of Middle School West was present at the meeting and stated that she studied the parking situation, and figured potentially every car that would need to park on the site and there is a need for that many spaces. Linda Vaughan asked if the front of the building would remain the same. Beth stated that there would be repairs made to the existing front of the building, but that no historical restoration is required. Chuck Puleo asked how many kids attend the school. Mary Manning stated that there are presently 300-330 kids in the school and the renovations will allow for the expansion of classes to have 1 ,066. Eventually Middle School East will be changed back to an elementary school and the city will have only one Middle School. Walter Power noted that educational standards stated that you need open area for play if you have the room, and stated that this area is tight. Ms. Manning stated that the students will use Bertram Field for gym, and noted that at that age they are sort of in transition from typical recess activities and that not much playing occurs. Walter Power asked if a new boiler would be installed. The • architect who was also present at the meeting stated that they would be staying with steam because the existing pipes are in 5 good condition and they want to use them. The architect also reviewed the layout of each floor for the Board. Walter Power asked if there was anyone present at the meeting who would like to comment. Al Guenette of 26 Jackson Street addressed the Board and stated that he supports the project and Mary Manning has been very cooperative and helpful with their concerns, but he had concerns about a drainage problem that he has had for a long time. He noted that when the parking area was paved, and the portable classrooms were added, a pipe was placed for drainage that comes down to Broad Street Playground and drains across the basketball court onto his property. The Board reviewed the drainage plans and located the pipe. It was noted that the plan looks as if the drainage is directed toward Highland Avenue. Walter Power suggested that the city look into the matter further. Walter Power read comments from other city boards and departments. He noted that the Building Inspector concurs with the project, the Board of Health will discuss it at their meeting on August 13, 1991 and the City Engineer concurs with the project. Walter Power suggested that the Planning Department will continue to review the project and a decision will be issued at a later meeting. • OLD/NEW BUSINESS Linda Vaughan reported that the Berrywood Lane decision is being appealed to a higher court. She stated that Lenny Femino stated to her that he wants to recommend that the bank grade the property. Dick Williams informed the Board that nothing has been done about the intersection of Swampscott Road and First Street. He noted that he is concerned that the traffic commission has not addressed the matter, despite his repeated requested through the Planning Board. Bill Luster suggested that he contact Vinnie Furfaro and voice his concerns to him. He noted that line painting etc. is typically a function of the DPW and maybe getting the Ward Councillor involved would get some action. Linda Vaughan suggested that the Planning Board invite Chief St. Pierre to the next meeting to discuss the concerns of the Board. Bill Luster asked the Board if the next meeting on September 51 1991 could be started at 6:30, so that a joint meeting of • the Planning Board and the Redevelopment Authority could be held, as Mayor Harrington wished to address both Boards 6 concerning his plans for setting an agenda for the years ahead. There being no further business to come before the Planning Board at this meeting, a motion was made by Kosta Prentakis to adjourn the meeting, seconded by Dick Williams and approved unanimously. The meeting was adjourned at 9:45 P.M. RESPECTFULLY SUBMITTED BY: EILEEN M.

Those present were: Chairman Walter Power, Linda Vaughan, David Hart, Michael Cunningham, Dick Williams, Kosta Prentakis, Chuck Puleo, and Debra Hilbert. Also present were: Beth Debski, Assistant City Planner, and Eileen Sacco, Clerk. DETERMINATION OF SPECIFIC AND MATERIAL CHANGE- 13 BOARDMAN ST. Kathryn Sammartano was present at the meeting to request a Determination of Specific and Material Change for her plans to convert an illegal three family dwelling to a two family dwelling. She informed the Board that the dwelling has been a three family since 1973 and that she was not aware that it was illegal. She went before the Board of Appeal for a variance to make the three family legal and was denied. Beth Debski showed the Board the plans that were presented to the Board of Appeal so that they could see the exterior changes • that were proposed are no longer proposed. Ms. Sammartano noted that the top floor would be eliminated. Walter Power suggested that she should show the Board of Appeal a plan that shows the kitchen is eliminated in the top floor. Ms. Sammartano noted that the second floor would be occupied by her family. She further noted that she has received no rent since March from the tenants that are occupying the apartment at present due to complaints filed by the Board of Health. She also noted that she has moved from the premises in relation to those complaints. Walter Power suggested that a letter be sent to the Board of Appeal noting the following items: 1 . The applicant has reduced parking to 3 spaces on-site. 2. There is no exterior exit down the rear of the building as originally proposed. 3 . The applicant will detail which kitchen will be removed. 4. There is no change to the existing footprint and the exterior staircase will be removed. �22 Ed Beaupre of 11 Boardman Street addressed the Cemff4 } n and explained that the stake placed by North Shore Survey is three feet from his property. He also expressed concern about a storm 1 . drain location should the area be paved for the parking spaces. Walter Power noted that Mr. Beaupre' s comments are germane to the issue before the Planning Board and that the City Engineer will have to look at the plans and the storm drain locations. He also stated that Ms. Sammartano would have to determine how important it is to resolve the matter and arrange the plan accordingly. There being no further discussion on the matter a motion was made by Linda Vaughan to approve a Determination of Specific and Material Change for 13 Boardman Street, seconded by Dick Williams and approved unanimously. Walter Power noted that he is concerned about the number of Derterminations of Specific and Material Changes that are coming before the Planning Board, stating that he feels that it appears that people are going to the Board of Appeals with the maximum knowing that they can get around the two year waiting period of the Board of Appeal by changing their plans and getting a Determination of Specific and Material Change from the Planning Board to re-apply to the Board of Appeal. He asked Beth Debski to notify the Board of Appeal that the Planning Board would be looking at these cases closely. OLD/NEW BUSINESS • Beth Debski informed the Board that Steven Zieff will be attending the next meeting to discuss informally the plans for expanded development in Vinnin Square. She also noted that since the subdivision plan was approved before 1985, Site Plan Review is not required. She also stated that she mentioned to Richard Stafford that the Right of Way from Loring Towers to continue to Swampscott Road needs to be resolved and he is working on it. Debra Hilbert asked that the Planning Board write a letter in support of the National Park Service plans for Derby Wharf. Kosta Prentakis reported that someone has been dumping concrete on the Fafard Property and he approached someone dumping and they gave him there business card. He also stated that the person told him that they had permission from Chris Lombardi of Fafard to do this. Beth Debski will check into the matter. Kosta Prentakis also inquired about the maintenance of the slope on First Street by Somerville Lumber, noting that last year it was cut and maintained. Beth Debski stated that it was supposed to go back to it' s natural state. Dick Williams asked what the status was on the traffic . commission' s study. He noted that Swampscott Road and First Street is dangerous and would like the report forwarded to the Planning Board. 2. Beth Debski reported that DeIulis Brothers had agreed to build the steps to the open space, on Berrywood Lane as shown on the sketch presented to the Planning Board. She also noted that they have not as yet signed a contract with the bank.

'Te explained that clue to inaccurate staking, the lot belonging to =Fancy Boris is undersized and his client is conveying a foot and a half against the sideline of the Boris property to make the lot conform. He noted that the lot was presumed to be within the zoning requirements when the dwelling was built, and they want to take care of it so that they can get clear title to the property. Beth Debski stated that there is a note on the plan and that as long as there is adjquate frontage the Form A is in order.

COURT Richard Mailhoit addressed the Board on behalf of his client Mark Petit to present plans and request that the Planning Board make a Determination of Specific and Material Change so his client can go back to the Board of Appeal for a variances. He explained that on March 20, 1991 , the Board of Appeal denied the application of his client to construct a single family dwelling on Skerry Street Court. He stated that the plans call for the demolition of an existing shed, and the construction of a single family dwelling. He also noted that the change since the presentation to the Board of Appeal is that his client is obtaining an additional 310 s.f, of land from t]illiam D. Little to make the lot 2,710 s .f. The Planning Board reviewed the Board of Appeal decision. idalter Power expressed his concern that the area is terribly over crowded, and that this proposal would make it ;Wore so. . Beth Debski explained that approval of specific and material change does not mean that the Board approves the plan, rather 1 ® . that it gives the applicant the chance to go back to the 'oard of Appeal before the two year time limit allowed by law. �ialter Power asked to see the zoning man which shows the lot sizes of the area. Ir. ^?ailhoit agreed that the area is over crowded, but noted that the neighbors are in agreement with the proposal, since they feel that it will improve what is now considered a fire hazard. After reviewing the sizes of the lots in the area Walter Power noted that the Planning Board has been trying to get businesses out of the neighborhoods and this would help that area. Dick Williams noted that he felt that there was a lot of change from the previous o_ lan. He asked if the petitioner planned to live there. Mr. Mailhoit stated that it had not been decided if the property would be rented or sold. There being no further questions or comments from those present, a motion was made by Dick Williams to approve the Determination of Specific and Material Change for Skerry Street Court, seconded by Linda Vaughan and approved unanimously. SALEM MARITIME NATIONAL HISTORIC SITE - PRESENTATION Debbie Hilbert addressed the Board to discuss the Salem Maritime National Historic Site - Site Plan/Environmental Assessment. She noted that the intention is to improve the site and to tell the maritime history better, noting that it is hard to give people the image of what it was like. She reviewed alternative r=2 which calls for the construction of a series of warehouses and the building of a ship to be called the "Friendship" . She noted that the ship may sail but that needs to be investigated. She also noted that the ship would he built on the site and launched. Dick Williams suggested that they install rail road tracks for the launching and perhaps a ship could be built annually and launched, noting that it would be an interesting attraction for the tourists. Psalter Power suggested that an auxiliary shed for building supplies would be necessary if that were done. Debbie Hilbert stated that the neighbors would have to be consulted on the possibility of that proposal. Debbie Hilbert noted that they are under some constraints in that they are not allowed to reconstruct buildings as they were unless they know enough information to rebuild exactly, and that they would have to indicate to the public that they are not exact replicas . • Debbie Hilbert explained the parking plans, noting that a survey done shows that 60% of the people who use the Maritime parking 2 area are using Pickering Wharf . She explained that they would encourage people to use the :East India Garage and would provide a shuttle bus to the site. She also noted that they propose to remove parking from one side of Derby Street and would like to purchase the Mackey property on Blanev Street and replace the parking spaces lost there. She also noted that there is a house there that could be used for staff. Walter '_'ower expressed his concern that if the Park Service takes that property out of use, it would deprive the city of development of the water front as called for in the master plan. He stated that the harbor is under utilized and that there is no downtown service to support the harbor which is the only place left in Salem. Debbie Hilbert explained that the city needs to show support for the project to prove that Salem wants to see it o forward J �. g , to justify the money. She also noted that a visitor study showed that Salem is a one day stop and that Salem needs to made a destination to increase the tourist trade. Dick 7lilliams noted that people are allowed to camp at Winter Island and suggested that perhaps they could have a boat transport people to the Maritime Site from ?;inter Island. Debbie Hilbert noted that the comment period for the project • closes June 10 , and encouraged the Planning Board to comment on the proposal, both as a Board and as individuals . OLD/N-P-W BUSINESS Berrywood Lane Beth Debski reported that the trial concerning Berrywood Lane was on Monday and they are awaiting the Judges decision.

IIe noted that the Conservation Commission had reviewed the plans and they had modified their original plans in response to their concerns. He noted that they moved the position of the house towards the Lento property in response to DPW concerns about plowing. He also noted that they are building a retaining wall, which will flatten the grade. They propose a 3-1 slope. Debra Hilbert asked about the retaining wall. Mr. Dick stated that the wall would be 4 feet high and would bring the grade from 74 to 80. Walter Power asked about the water in the wetland. Mr. Dick, replied that there are small pools but it is basically firm ground. He also noted that the drainage would be through Valley Street. Dick Williams asked if there would be any blasting involved. Mr. Dick, stated that no blasting is needed. Ile also noted that the utilities would connect to an existing manhole, and the electric would be overhead, since there is not much direct burial up there. Walter Power read comments from other city Boards and Departments. He noted that the Building Inspector concurs with the project. The City Engineer also sent a memo concerning the project to the Planning Department and a copy is attached to these minutes. The Board of health concurs with the project and a letter of conditions is forth coming. The Conservation Commission concurs with the project and has issued a standard Order of Conditions with special conditions as well. The Fire Department did not respond, however, Beth Debski noted that this two lot subdivision was approved in 1986 and the plans are virtually the same plan, and she did not foresee any 1 I • problems. At this time Walter Power onened the Public Hearing for comments from those in attendance. Mr. Jack Anderson addressed the Board and stated that his property abuts the land on Valley Street. He explained that he has a drainage problem, that has been there for years and that he is concerned that this property will add to his drainage problems. He also noted that he has a problem with muskrats and mosquitoes. Mr. Anderson also noted that he has brought this problem to the attention of the Mayor and the Conservation Commission. Walter Power informed Mr. Anderson that this matter did not relate to the issue before the Board at this time. Iie suggested that the City Engineer be contacted to find out the status of the proposed work to be done in the area. John Wright of SO Almeda Street addressed the Board and stated that he is in favor of the project. He also stated that he was happy to see the property finally developed, as he has seen many proposals for the property that have fallen through. John Marchant of 82 Almeda Street addressed the Board and stated that he is in favor of the project. Mr. Orlando, the owner of the property, addressed the Board and stated that they moved the location of the house so that they would not have to blast near the water tank. There being no further comment from those present, Walter Power declared the Public Hearing closed. Beth Debski reviewed a list of proposed conditions for the project that she had prepared. Dick Williams suggested that the Order of Conditions be posted on the site with the Building Permit. David Hart noted that he was uncomfortable approving a plan that is incomplete, since the plan did not show the location of the house since it was relocated. Mr. Dick apologized, noting that he thought that the Conservation Commission would have forwarded a copy of the revised plans to the Board. Beth Debski got a copy of the plan and showed the members the location of the house and the retaining wall. There being no further questions or comments, a motion was made by John Moustakis to approve the Wetlands and Flood Hazard District Special Permit, for 79 Almeda Street, seconded by Dick Williams and approved unanimously. 10 DETERMINATION OF SPECIFIC AND MATERIAL CHANGE - 5 BALCOMB STREET 2 r� Beth Debski addressed the Board and stated that the applicant was denied a permit to convert a two family dwelling to a three family, because he failed to attend the meeting. She stated that the applicant did not know he had to appear before the Board of Appeal. She also stated that the change would be that he would show up at the meeting this time, but noted that she had difficulty with that since he has not shown up at this meeting either. Beth also noted that she had discussed the matter with Kevin Daly and Lenny Femino and they agree that the Board of Appeal should hear the matter again, and there was an indication at the meeting that the Board was willing to hear it again. Walter Power suggested that the Planning Board write a letter to the Board of Appeal requesting that they hear the matter again, since he did not think that the Planning Board could approve a Specific and [;aterial Change to the plans, since there are no changes to the original plan. OLD BUSINESS Berrywood Lane Beth Debski reported that she had been to a Conciliation Hearing and that no settlement was reached, and the trial date was set for May 12, 1991 . She also reported that the bank had contracted with DeIulis Brothers Construction to finish the subdivision work, with the exception of Mrs. Schraders lot. She also reported that the stairs to the open space, as requested by the Planning Board is rather costly and it has been suggested that maybe an easement could be obtained for the adjacent lot and a stone dust path could be made that would also be handicapped accessible. Walter Power stated that he has concerns about a path and would like to see drawings and the impact it would have on the lots . He also noted that the Planning Board allowed the deletion of a retaining wall that was supposed to be built and the developer agreed to out granite steps up to access the open space. He also noted that he wants something that will be maintenance free for the city. Linda Vaughan stated that the stairs should be presentable, since the lots on either side of them will have to live with what is there. Walter Power agreed and stated that he still wants to pursue the granite steps. Beth Debski also expressed concern about the landscaping and the trees that are to be planted in the buffer zone. She noted that she is concerned about the location of them since they 3 , may be relocated if they appear to be on snecific nronerty. She suggested that they be relocated to the nroperty line of both property' s. NEW BUSINESS Linda Vaughan offered to have the Planning Board summer cookout at her home this year. The Board will discuss the details at a later date. APPROVAL OF MINUTES The minutes of the meeting of April 4, 1991 were presented for approval.

FORM A - SALEM ARMORY City Planner William Luster addressed the Board and stated that in August of 1990, the legislature approved a plan to dispose of the drill shed portion of the Salem Armory to the SRA. He stated that the property would be deeded to the SRA, and that a subdivision needs to be done before the building can be divided. He also stated that the front portion of the building would be owned by the Museum Collaborative. Bill Luster noted that the plan is a typical subdivision with both having frontage on public ways. He also stated that they were anxious to get the disposition done soon since the legislation was approved under the previous administration and they done want to take the chance that something could happen. Walter Power asked if there were any plans to develop the property at this time. Bill Luster stated that the city would land bank it for now. Debra Hilbert noted a small building attached to the Armory Building on the Essex Institute side of the building, and asked if that was included in the portion being subdivided to the • SRA. Bill Luster stated that he was not sure about the ownership of that portion of the building and that he would find out. He recommended that the Planning Board wait until the next 1 rt' meeting to approve this and he will check on that matter. OLD/NEW BUSINESS Beth Debski addressed the Planning Board and asked them to ratify the vote taken at the last meeting for the Wetland Special Permit for the Pickering wharf Sea Wall. She noted that there were only five members present at the meeting and that two thirds or six votes is required for approval. Motion made by David Hart to ratify the vote taken to approve the Wetlands Special Permit for the Pickering Wharf Sea Wall, seconded by Dick Williams and approved unanimously. Beth Debski informed the Board that the City Council approved final passage of the Zoning Ordinance on December 17, 1990. She presented the revised Zoning Map of the City with the Entrance Corridor Overlay Districts on it for the signatures of the Planning Board Members. Kosta Prentakis addressed the Board and asked that the vote taken on the sign approval for Bill and Bobs Roast Beef be ratified since there were only four members at the meeting who could vote since he had to recuse himself. Motion made by David Hart to ratify the vote taken on the approval of the sign for Bill and Bobs Roast Beef, seconded by Dick Williams and approved • with Linda Vaughan and Kosta Prentakis abstaining. Dick Williams addressed the Board and stated that the road at the intersection of Swampscott Road and First Street is self destructing. He suggested that the city place a lien on the Fafard Property. Kosta Prentakis stated that Fafard had filed a reorganization plan and there is a problem with the plan that may force him into chapter 7 which is liquidation. Walter Power asked that the City Planner have the City Solicitor place lien on the property so that if he liquidates the city will be protected. He also suggested that a punch list of the outstanding items be prepared. Motion made by Dick Williams to send a letter to the City Solicitor requesting that the city take the necessary action, to protect itself in the event that Mr. Fafard liquidates, seconded by Michael Cunningham and approved unanimously. Chuck Puleo asked what the results of the Berrywood Lane discussion held at the last meeting were. Beth Debski stated that she attended a hearing in court and that the Attorney for Mrs. Schrader state that it will cost $25,000.00 just to finish her property. She noted that the bank contends that 5 or 6 thousand is more likely. She also noted that they need to send a new list of the items to be completed to the bank. 2 Linda Vaughan addressed the Board and suggested that if the bank can' t come to a sensible agreement with Mrs. Schrader that the Planning Board send a letter to the bank in support of them since the Planning Board released the lot at Mrs. Schraders request and the Planning Board should have no liability. Bill Luster questioned whether that would be wise since then the Planning Board might not have control over the grading of her lot. Walter Power questioned whether the Planning Board has a legal obligation to them since the property was broken from the subdivision. He also noted that at the time the lot was released there was not going to be any construction until the subdivision was completed, and the lot was released\ because they needed it to get financing. David Hart suggested that the City Solicitoi be invited to the next meeting of the Planning Board to discuss the matter. APPROVAL OF MINUTES The approval of the minutes of the meeting of February 7, 1991 were postponed until the next meeting of the Planning Board. There being no further business to come before the Planning Board at this meeting, a motion was made by John Moustakis to adjourn the meeting, seconded by Kosta Prentakis and approved unanimously.

AVENUE Attorney John Vallis addressed the Board on behalf of his client David Colpitts . He explained the history of the property and the subdivision that his client has completed with the exception of submitting as built plans to the Planning Department. He noted that the as built plans would be submitted as soon as they are completed. Atty. Vallis noted that his client had made substantial improvements to the area and that the Planning Board had released all of the lots of the subdivision in accordance with the Tri-Partied Agreement and Covenant for the development. Atty. Vallis also informed the Board that his client is having financial problems and that the impending sale of this lot would keep his client out of bankruptcy. He also noted that a closing for the sale of the property is scheduled for Friday morning February 81 1991 , and the prospective buyers are only going to be in the area on that date since the buyer is a Merchant Marine. He asked the Board to approve the Form A for lot 141 on Clark Avenue, since it meets all of the Form A requirements. City Planner William Luster addressed the Board and stated that the city has reservations about approving the Form A at this time. He stated that in 1987 the lot in question was sold to Mr. Colpitts at public auction for $50,000.00. He also stated that at the time conditions were placed on the sale, that required the owner to build a single family home on the property within 18 months and that the property could not be sold for five years. He also noted that the conditions were released by former Mayor Anthony Salvo and that there is some question as to the legality of that release, since it may require approval of the City Council which has not been granted. He also noted 1 f • that there has been truckloads of fill placed in the area which is a violation of a Conservation Commission Order of Conditions, and some of the fill is in the buffer zone of a wetland. tie further noted that the Conservation Commission had not yet issued an Enforcement Order. He stated that he had spoken to the City Solicitor and that they feel that the issue of the fill needs to be addressed before approval of this could be granted. Atty. Vallis addressed Rill Lusters comments and stated that the issue before the Board tonight was that the lot conforms to the requirements for a Form A. Fie also noted that he was not speaking as a member of the Conservation Commission, but that the Commission has made a site visit to the area and his client is going to take care of the matter. Ile also noted that the fill is not on the property in question, it is on an adjoining piece of property. He further stated that the issue before the Board is whether the property conforms to the requirements of a Form A, and requested that the Board use their authority to approve this matter this evening, which would allow his client to sell the property. William Luster reminded Atty. Vallis that the Planning Board has 21 days to consider the matter and noted that the plans were given to the Planning Department on February 6 , 1991 . • Walter Power stated that the Planning Board is living with the legacy of the Greenway Road subdivision and stated that they should not be rushed into action. Kosta Prentakis noted that the Conservation Commission Order of Conditions was disregarded and that the client should have gone to the Commission for approval. He also asked why the conditions were placed on the property at the time of the purchase. Bill Luster explained that the five year time period was placed on the property because the intent of offering the lots at the time was that the people who bought the land would live there and create single family housing, and to prevent them from being sold at a higher price. Dick Williams addressed the Board and noted that as a lay person he is confused about the legalities of the situation. Bill Luster noted that the city takes direction from the City Solicitor and he has recommended that the issue not be acted on until the other issues are resolved. There being no other questions or comments from the Planning Board, a motion was made by David Hart to continue the matter until the next meeting of the Planning Board, seconded by Kosta Prentakis and approved unanimously. 0 FORM A - RAND ROAD - MR.

The Planning Board reviewed the special conditions issued by the Conservation Commission. Dick Williams referred to condition #2 which stated that the applicant shall enter into an agreement • with a contractor with regards to the continued maintenance of the sea wall. He asked if the contractor had been selected yet. Mr. Chevoor stated that the contractor would be selected at the completion of the project.

Beth Debski noted that they should be all right and that those numbers came from Mrs. Schraders surveyor and Will Beaulieu has checked it out.

Stan Porier of the Greenway Road Homeowners Association, addressed the Board and noted that they are happy that the bank wants to complete the subdivision.

Dr. Mulligan stated that he was not sure if it would be as high as it was, but it will be green, noting that they don't want to add additional weight on the wall . Beth Debski suggested that a landscaping condition could be added to read, "Green area including plantings, shall be returned to its original condition. If this area is to be changed it shall be reviewed and approved by the Planning Board." Walter Power asked if the Conservation Commission had sent the Planning Board its Order of Conditions. .

Kosta Prentakis stated that when the sign was erected, Bill and Bobs only sold Roast Beef and drinks . Since then they have expanded the menu and have a drive thru. Debra Hilbert asked if they would consider having only one color lettering on the sign. Valerie Langonakis said she didn't think it would be a problem, she noted that the letters proposed are red with a blue trim, on a white background, as their logo is. Debra Hilbert stated that she thought that only one color would make it simpler. She also suggested that they should reduce the size of the letters to make it more legible, with more space between the lines. Chuck Puleo noted that the new sign would be higher than the existing sign. • Walter Power suggested that the Board consider this proposal 2 at their next meeting, so that the applicant can bring in a sample of the colors and the lettering.

He also noted that it had been addressed due to di°sputes concerning ownership which has since been settled. He explained that the wall is bellying out and was caused by the wakes from the boats. He also explained the procedure that will be done, noting that they would like to get the bulk of the work done this winter. Deborah Hilbert asked if the work extended any further than the area described. Mr. Pelletier stated that the footprint would remain the same. John Moustakis asked how long the project would take.
