Subject:DRC Comments - 4 Bayview Street
Attachments:091621 DRC Agenda and Materials.pdf
Hi Guys,
Please find attached the DRC application materials for solar canopies at 4 Bayview Street over the hospital employee
parking lot. I am still awaiting a section/detail of the solar canopies themselves. The DRC meeting is being held in
person on September 16th at 4 pm in Room A of Town Hall (masks will be required). Please note that Dick is unable
to attend, so we need Sara, Charlie and Chris to attend to have quorum.
Planner Comments:
1. In‐lot Trees: Although the application indicates no in‐lot trees will be impacted, it is very difficult to see how
this will be true. There are several trees in the parking lot which are dead or appear dead now. Many of the
trees are shorter in size at this time and it is difficult to see how the trees will get adequate sunlight once the
solar canopies are installed. The ultimate size of the tree canopy should be compared to the opening
provided between the solar canopies to avoid significant trimming of the tree branches. If the trees die, it is
unlikely new trees could be planted without having the same fate. It would be helpful to have input from an
arborist on the viability of these trees living when the solar canopies are installed, and what modifications
would be necessary for the trees to have a reasonable chance for survival. Relief may be needed from the
ZBA regarding in‐lot trees.
2. Buffers: 5 trees in the western buffer are shown to be removed and nothing replanted (they appear to be
dead). This will eliminate any buffer trees in this location which were included as part of a previous ZBA
decision. Although there is additional hospital property to plant some buffer trees in this area west of the
proposed solar canopies, the area is on the west side of the hospital fence and appears to be utilized by the
abutting property owner at 18 Bayview.
3. Ground Equipment: The location for one of the pieces of ground mounted equipment looks like it is in an
emergency access to the northern section of the parking lot (has a gate with no parking signs although not
shown on the site plans). Another piece of equipment appears to be located on hospital property, but on
the west side of the fence where there is encroachment from the abutting property owner at 10 Bayview
Drive. There are also four proposed utility poles which I hope they will explain in more detail at the
meeting.
Thanks,
Kathy
