Approval Not Required: <br />Tim and Jean Procopio, 553 Haverhill St. <br />CR and JD reviewed the application. <br />The Conservation Commission would prefer that the Applicant use the proposed <br />common access easement rather than construct a new driveway that may impact <br />wetlands. <br />RH moved to endorse. <br />JB seconded. <br />All in favor, 4-0 <br />Pre-Application Presentation: <br />Longwood PUD <br />Principal Ted Moore, Attorney Brad Latham, Engineer Bill Bergeron and <br />Architect Jim Velleco were present. <br />Brad Latham began; 6 units per acre must be maintained. <br />Jim Velleco made a presentation. There are numerous advantages for the Town <br />to go this route for the site instead of the approved 40B. The PUD would be 27 <br />acres. Contour elevations run from 142' to 80,' sloped toward wetlands and Enos <br />Circle. The roads would provide 24' wide access in a continuous loop; 500' access <br />and emergency access to Inwood and Kelch. The internal circulation would be <br />private ways. <br />The program would be mostly detached townhouses that would have their own <br />entrances. Small, detached unit blocks would predominate, with clustered <br />buildings, parks and open space in front. There would be an internal trail system <br />that links Town-owned open space. The nearest residential structure would be <br />240' from West St. Gazebos are proposed in landscaped islands within each <br />block, with possible water features. Linked blocks off the main circulation loop <br />will contain 4 houses. <br />By the Longwood Extension a passive recreation park would be built around the <br />Town wetlands. Proposed density=161 units with garages for 6 units per acre. <br />Detached units would be 1.5 stories, 1.2k sq. ft. with small porches. Every 30 feet <br />the buildings can shift to follow topography. <br />Surface parking: only 2 lots that correspond to two large buildings. Luxury <br />townhouse units=2k to 2.2k sq. ft., 2-3 bedrooms. <br />RH wondered about the 3-bedroom units and the impact on the school system; <br />this was not proposed before. The Connery Fiscal Impact Analysis report on the <br />prior PUD proposal had assumptions based on 2-bedrooms. <br />Ted Moore explained that the prior concept was designed exclusively for the 55+ <br />market; this is not. <br />NS is concerned that 3-bedroom units will mean a greater impact on the school <br />system and more traffic. <br />Based on prior traffic studv. Ted Mnnra int;r;na+P, ahn„+ MR <br />traffic @ 161 units. <br />CAMy Documents\CPDC\Agenda-Minutes\M nutes\Minutes 9.29.03.doc <br />
