APPROVAL OF COVENANT AND ENDORSEMENT OF PLAN I BROOKS STREET Bill Luster informed the Board that Atty. Keilty also requested t hat this item be postponed to the neat meeting as well. Carter Vinson addressed the Board and expressed his concern that the decision for the ;. Brook Street project did not read as he had intended and requested that he or another member review future decision before they are filed at the Registry of Deeds. Bill Luster expressed his concern that adding two weeks to the process would be difficult. Carter Vinson stated that they would not have to wait until the neat meeting but could fax the final product to a member to have them make sure that it reads as the Board intended. He also noted that he did not think that the Planning Department should be responsible for what the Planning Board says in their decisions. CERTIFICATE OF COMPLETION - TRADERS WAY Beth Debski addressed the Board and recalled that two meetings ago the request for a certificate of completion and the Board had some questions regarding the language in the document certifying the release. She noted that the owner of Highlander Plaza, Mr. Parachoky was present at the meeting to answer any questions that the Board may have. Mr. Parachoky addressed the Board and stated that he was in the process of refinancing the property when it came to his attention that the Certificate of Completion was never obtained. Page I • Carter Vinson stated that he felt that if the Board is satisfied that the requirements of the • covenant issued for the project have been met, he sees no reason to subject the lots to the restrictions of the covenant and the certificate of completion could be issued. He also noted that the Board would not be releasing them from the PUD,just the covenant. Bill Luster noted that Traders Way is completed and has been for quite some time. The Board reviewed the language in the release form for the covenant. Kim Driscoll suggested that the last sentence could be left out and that would be appropriate. Carter Vinson stated that he does not have a problem with it as it is. He also noted that he does not see that releasing this covenant does anything but release them from the requirements. Motion made by David Hart to approve the Certificate of Completion for Traders Way, seconded by Bill Cullen and approved unanimously.

He noted that the rip rap slope has been addressed in the decision and Fafard will work with Juli Reimenschneider on the landscaping and get the right planting scheme for the slope. Walter Power expressed his concern that there should be a fence at the top of the proposed wall to prevent someone from stepping off the wall and falling down. David Hart suggested that the Building Inspector should take a look at that and if he thinks it is needed he and the City Planner could see that it is done. Bill Luster stated that the Building Inspector will get a copy of the decision. Atty. Joseph Correnti addressed the Board and stated that the subdivision control law spells out what cities and towns can ask for in terms of covenants etc., and noted that they would be happy to work with the Board on the covenant.

Page 2 • The Board reviewed the draft decision for the project. • Condition#13 addresses the stabilization of the phase 4 area in which fill will be removed for phase 3. Bill Luster noted that this is in response to the neighbors concern that in 6 months if the phase 4 is not under way, the area will not be unsightly. David Hart agreed noting that the area would look like an open quarry. Mr. Shimmer addressed the Board and stated that he would like more notice of blasting. He suggested 72 hours would be acceptable. Bill Luster stated that Fafard should send a letter to the neighbors detailing how they plan to handle the blasting. Bill Luster reviewed condition 24 and noted that he does not have an opinion from the City Solicitor regarding the restriction of building, so he is not sure whether the Board can impose this condition. He noted that Mr. Shimmer requested that the project be divided into phase 3B, 3C, and 3D and that they only be allowed to build as the units are sold in blocks of 20 in each phase, rather than all at once. Carter Vinson stated that the plan as presented calls for 80 units and the Board had reviewed it as one project. He stated that he did not think that they could control the building of the project in that way. Atty. Correnti stated that he felt that the condition would make it difficult to get financing for the project. He noted that the bank keeps a tight control on the development and the money and they would not release funds if the market is not there. He also noted that they will not let them build out too far. • David Hart stated that he sympathized with the neighbors and pointed out that there are a lot of people who got stung in the 80's in real estate. Bill Luster noted that in the past the developer has granted an easement to the city for the eventual widening of Swampscott Rd. He noted that the easement is for 20 feet and the city only needs five feet to widen the road, and they need to come to some sort or agreement regarding the remaining land. He noted that they wish to protect the rights of the City in regards to this land that Fafard promised until it is determined what the State will do. Atty. Correnti stated that he only received the language regarding this matter late this afternoon and that he needs to go back to the developer with the proposal. He also noted that he personally was not involved in the granting of the easements and would like to look into it further. David Hart asked that the Planning Department landscape architect make sure that the proposed wall is aesthetically pleasing. Page 3 • Lee Harrington stated that because of the nature and size of the project he would like to • see that all of the conditions are met. Walter Power noted that the Clerk of the Works will make sure that all of the conditions are met. Lee Harrington also requested that the Board receive a report which updates the project every six months. Atty. Correnti addressed the Board regarding condition 6G, and stated that the property manager and the Condo Association would be taking over the maintenance of the common areas upon completion of the project. He stated that they would be willing to fix and replace damage from construction but he noted that they are opposed to a five year period. David Hart suggested that the landscape architect review the period which is imposed on other developers and condo associations and the Board could address that later. Motion made by Bill Cullen to continue the public hearing to February 15, 1996, seconded by David Hartt and approved unanimously. There being no further business to come before the Planning Board at this meeting a motion was made by John Moustakis, seconded by Bill Cullen and approved unanimously.

Beth Debski addressed the issue of Swampscott Road improvements. She explained that the 20 foot easement was never formally granted by Fafard.

He also noted that the area would be maintained by the condo association and that he sees no problems as long as the area is kept in its natural state. • David Hart noted that the change in the Vista, is a revision to the plan. Atty. Correnti noted that the revised plans would be submitted prior to approval. Carter Vinson asked what type of landscaping would be used within the site. Harry Mack stated that the landscaping would be a mixture of hardwood and evergreen as is planned for phase 4 and that they would retain the trees at the top of the slope.

Carter Vinson stated that they would not have to wait until the next meeting but could fax the final product to a member to have them make sure that it reads as the Board intended.

Carter Vinson stated that he felt that if the Board is satisfied that the requirements of the covenant issued for the project have been met, he sees no reason to subject the lots to the restrictions of the covenant and the certificate of completion could be issued. He also noted that the Board would not be releasing them from the PUD,just the covenant. Bill Luster noted that Traders Way is completed and has been for quite some time. • The Board reviewed the language in the release form for the covenant. Kim Driscoll suggested that the last sentence could be left out and that would be appropriate. Carter Vinson stated that he does not have a problem with it as it is.

He noted that the rip rap slope has been addressed in the decision and Fafard will work with Juli Reimenschneider on the landscaping and get the right planting scheme for the slope. Walter Power expressed his concern that there should be a fence at the top of the proposed wall to prevent someone from stepping off the wall and falling down. David Hart suggested that the Building Inspector should take a look at that and if he thinks it is needed he and the City Planner could see that it is done. Bill Luster stated that the Building Inspector will get a copy of the decision. Atty. Joseph Correnti addressed the Board and stated that the subdivision control law spells out what cities and towns can ask for in terms of covenants etc., and noted that they would be happy to work with the Board on the • covenant.

The Board reviewed the draft decision for the project. Condition #13 addresses the stabilization of the phase 4 area in which fill will be removed for phase 3. Bill Luster noted that this is in response to the neighbors concern that in 6 months if the phase 4 is not under way, the area will not be unsightly. David Hart agreed noting that the area would look like an open quarry. Mr. Shimmer addressed the Board and stated that he would like more notice of blasting. He suggested 72 hours would be acceptable. Bill Luster stated that Fafard should send a letter to the neighbors detailing how they plan to handle the blasting. Bill Luster reviewed condition 24 and noted that he does not have an opinion • from the City Solicitor regarding the restriction of building, so he is not sure whether the Board can impose this condition. He noted that Mr. Shimmer • requested that the project be divided into phase 3B, 3C, and 3D and that they only be allowed to build as the units are sold in blocks of 20 in each phase, rather than all at once. Carter Vinson stated that the plan as presented calls for 80 units and the Board had reviewed it as one project. He stated that he did not think that they could control the building of the project in that way. Atty. Correnti stated that he felt that the condition would make it difficult to get financing for the project. He noted that the bank keeps a tight control on the development and the money and they would not release funds if the market is not there. He also noted that they will not let them build out too far. David Hart stated that he sympathized with the neighbors and pointed out that there are a lot of people who got stung in the 80's in real estate. Bill Luster noted that in the past the developer has granted an easement to the city for the eventual widening of Swampscott Rd. He noted that the easement is for 20 feet and the city only needs five feet to widen the road, and they need to come to some sort or agreement regarding the remaining land. He noted that they wish to protect the rights of the City in regards to this land • that Fafard promised until it is determined what the State will do. Atty. Correnti stated that he only received the language regarding this matter late this afternoon and that he needs to go back to the developer with the proposal. He also noted that he personally was not involved in the granting of the easements and would like to look into it further. David Hart asked that the Planning Department landscape architect make sure that the proposed wall is aesthetically pleasing. Lee Harrington stated that because of the nature and size of the project he would like to see that all of the conditions are met. Walter Power noted that the Clerk of the Works will make sure that all of the conditions are met. Lee Harrington also requested that the Board receive a report which updates the project every six months. Atty. Correnti addressed the Board regarding condition 6G, and stated that the property manager and the Condo Association would be taking over the maintenance of the common areas upon completion of the project. He stated that they would be willing to fix and replace damage from construction but he • noted that they are opposed to a five year period. David Hart suggested that the landscape architect review the period which is imposed on other developers and condo associations and the Board could address that later. Motion made by Bill Cullen to continue the public hearing to February 15, 1996, seconded by David Hart and approved unanimously. There being no further business to come before the Planning Board at this meeting a motion was made by John Moustalcis, seconded by Bill Cullen and approved unanimously.
