Topics of Discussion:
Ms. Longley called the meeting to order at 7:10 pm.
Minor Permit Change, Randall Road, Lots 2 & 3
Ryan Degrande of MG Hall was present to explain a minor permit change for lots 2 & 3 of
the subdivision. To improve curb appeal, the applicant is seeking to move the proposed
location of the propane tanks. The tanks will still be outside of the 35-foot no structure
zone, and will not have an effect on the grading as originally approved.
Motion to approve Minor Permit Change for Randall Road Lots 2 & 3 by Mr. Pinette,
second by Mr. Hayes. Vote 4-0-0.
NOI 270-0698, 5 Dean Road, Map 46, Lot 129, Crocker
Ms. Longley opened the Public Hearing. Bob and Lorna Crocker presented their plan to
remove a three-season porch from their house, and replace it with an addition and deck,
which is 90 feet away from the wetlands. Ms. Longley reviewed the site visit she took with
Mr. Pinette and Mr. Tirone. The apron of the pool slopes away from the pool and wetlands,
so straw wattles will not be needed. Between the new addition, and the existing pool patio,
the applicant plans to put in pervious pavers.
Motion to approve NOI 270-0698 by Mr. Pinette, second by Mr. Hayes. Vote 4-0-0.
Main Street Water Main Cleaning and Lining Project
Ms. Langley explained that she was unable to open the meeting as a quorum was not
present before Mr. Hayes arrived. However, she summarized the presentation from Ryan
Gage 1 1
Percival, Town Engineer, where he reviewed the plan for a water main replacement project
on Main Street from Salem Street to Mill Street, and on Mill Street from Main Street to the
North Reading town line. The meeting was informational, as the project falls under the
general permit and the Conservation Commission needs to sign-off on the extension.
Motion to sign the extension by Mr. Curtis, second by Mr. Pinette. Vote 4-0-0.
Motion to adjourn by Mr. Pinette, second by Ms. Longley. Vote 4-0-0.
Meeting adjourned at 7:30 pm.
