A copy of the letter will be filed with the Town Clerk for the record South Main Street: The Board received correspondence from Building Commissioner, Michael White, regarding a proposed Shake Bar at the above address. He noted that he was in receipt of a building permit request for the unit formerly rented out to the dry cleaners and next to Crystal s Kitchen. Mr. White questioned whether the Planning Board would require a site plan review. Mr. Anderson asked what a shake bar actually was. It was noted that they would be making milk shake type drinks but using only healthy and organic ingredients. Mr. Hurley noted that there would be no changes to the footprint of the building and that parking was adequate since it will not create any more customer traffic than the previous tenant did. A Motion (HA) was made to waive the site plan review requirements for the Shake Bar to be located at 4 South Main. Second (GS). Vote: Unanimous Walnut Street: The Board received a request from the Zoning Board of Appeals to review a plan for an Electrical Contractor Storage Yard to be located at the above address. Applicants and prospective purchasers, Gerard and Marie Cardillo, want to have a small Electrical Company where pick-up trucks and vans will be stored and will replace the current landscaping business. It was noted that this is in a General/Farming/Residential and Industrial zone which requires a site plan and special permit from the ZBA under Sections 4.4 Commercial Uses #2 and Section 7.2 Site Plan. After careful review of the site plan, the Planning Board agreed to send a letter to the ZBA with their concerns/issues as follows: 1. The zoning boundary is not demonstrated, 2. The site plan does not meet the requirements set forth in Section Site Plan 3. Lighting is not shown on the plan, and 4. Screening for adjoining residential properties is not demonstrated. 6. Enterprise Rent-A-Car: The Board received an application for a special permit/site plan submitted by J. K. Holmgren to permit Enterprise Rent-A-Car to store motor vehicles at 405 West Street. It was noted that this property is located in the Water Resource Protection District. Building Commissioner, Michael White, recommended that a written hazardous mitigation plan be in place in case of a release of any types of fluids from the stored vehicles. He also recommended that mitigation supplies like speedy dry, oil absorbent pads, hazardous fluid booms, etc. be stored on-site.

3 Page 3 Mr. Hurley stated that the Board had done a lot of work for previous requests for this property. He reminded the Board that they had contracted their engineer, Nichols Lanney, to review the plans and observe the project for them. Mr. Hurley stated that he would take a copy of this submittal to review to determine whether Mr. Lanney s services will be needed again. He stated that if it was necessary, he will contact John Holmgren to advise him of the review and associated costs. Mr. Stetson stated that proponents already have at least fifty (50) trucks of all sizes stored on the property. Mr. Hurley reminded the Board that the parking lot across the street is full right up to the wetlands and this one will be as well. Mr. Hurley requested that this application be put on the agenda for the next meeting. 7. Clark Estates: William Self of Curley and Hansen Surveyors and developer, David Cruise, were present. Also present were Charles Macy, Stephen Beinoras, Karen Danilova, Larry Danilova, Sofia Lapsley, David Hunt, Maureen Hunt, John Keenan, Cheryl Keenan, Sharon Slapik, Paula Bethoney, Jarrod Polidor, Peter Fredericksen, Justin Anderson, Jeff Marchetti, Glen Turner, Jill Janovsky and Greg Stipkovich. PUBLIC HEARING 8:00 P.M. Mr. Hurley read the notice as it appeared in the Enterprise newspaper and outlined the procedure for the meeting. He stated that the Board received a review report from Nicholas Lanney, of HML Associates, whose concerns include waiver requests, drainage, erosion control and storm water containment. He noted that this report would become a part of the record, but noted it may well be a moot point at this time. Mr. Hurley read an he received from Mr. Self into the record. Mr. Self stated that after having a public hearing under a Notice of Intent for the proposed subdivision and hearing some concerns from both the Conservation Commission and the neighbors, the proponent would like to request a thirty (30) day continuance so that a second revised proposal can be submitted. Mr. Self stated that they would come back with two (2) Form A Lots and a One (1) Lot subdivision for the rear portion of this property at that time. An invoice in the amount of $ for the advertising and certified abutter mailing was presented for payment. Mr. Self and Mr. Cruise jokingly fought over who would be the one to take it. Mr. Beinoras submitted a letter to the Board with his concerns with the proposal including perc tests, high water table, drainage, overflowing issues, current flooding problems, saturated yards, etc. Mr. Hurley stated that he would read the letter in detail however he noted that most of these concerns will most likely go away when the new plans, with a different scenario, is submitted.

4 Page 4 Mr. Hurley explained that the Board would not be going back to the original submittal but would wait for the revised plans. He reported that over that past few years the Board had reviewed many projects and that their concerns are not unusual. He noted that the last one they did went on for over a year before it received approval. Mr. Hurley stated that they were trying to get ten (10) pounds into a five (5) pound bag. He also stated that he hoped that this one would take a much shorter time. He stated that the Board would set a specific date and time for this hearing to be continued so that all of the abutters would know exactly when that would be. He noted that every Planning Board meeting is open to the public so if they have questions or would like an update they can attend at any time. Mr. Self stated that the Conservation Commission had many issues with this project. He noted that they were just trying to make the numbers work. He stated that with the new plan, they would avoid having any activity in the hundred (100 ) foot buffer zone. He stated that they would take some land from the remaining rear property and add it to each Form A lot. Mr. Self also stated that the new plan would have a driveway turn around for emergency vehicles, keep all of the drainage on site and spread out the grading. He stated that they are well aware of the high water table but any runoff will be contained on-site. Mr. Hurley noted that he was sure that the new plan would be much better and a good usage of the land. He opened the meeting to questions from the audience. Ms. Keenan stated that she loved the proposed new plan already, but still wants to preserve her trees. She asked if the Board would ask the developer to stay away from bulldozing them and keep a ten (10 ) foot buffer between the two properties. Mr. Hurley stated that Mr. Cruise will not cut any trees down unless he has to. He noted that the developer does not want to be spending time or money to take down trees and then fill in the holes it would create. He stated that he was confident that Mr. Cruise would keep it to a minimum. Mr. Marchetti stated that he appreciates that proponents have reduced the size of the project. He asked if the engineer s letter was public information and if he could get a copy of it. Mr. Hurley stated that he could come in tomorrow to get a copy however it will not apply at this point since the plans will be revised. He also stated that the new plans would be sent out for review as well. He noted that this Board has a good understanding of the issues, but they will solicit Mr. Lanney s opinion just the same. Mr. Self stated that he would notify the Conservation Commission that he is withdrawing this plan and that he would now keep all activity outside of the buffer zone. He noted that soil testing will be done. He stated that he understands Ms. Keenan s concern with the trees and expects that Mr. Cruise will keep what is there. He also noted that it would require much less grading. Mr. Hurley asked when proponents might be ready to submit the new plans. Mr. Hurley stated that he did not want to choose a date, have the neighbors attend and then find out that the new plans were not ready. After a brief discussion it was agreed that they would return to the meeting on May 16, 2018 at 8:00 p.m. Mr. Self asked if the Board of Health could witness the soil testing. The Board agreed that they could.

5 Page 5 Mr. Hurley stated that he would review the concerns that Mr. Beinoras submitted. He stated that the Board likes to hear from the neighbors with their concerns because there might be information that the Board is not aware of and it allows the neighbors to hear the Board s concern as well. He noted that it is a two way street and they are interested in anything that gives them additional information. The meeting was ended at 8:40 p.m. 8. Subdivision updates: B.C.
