Comments
��Buildin :
Project is in the HMOD2.
Proposed replacement of the pool does not appear to trigger relief from the ZBA, however Design Review and SP relief is
likely necessary from the Planning Board. Signs will require permits. All work to comply with 780 CMR, 521 CMR including
MGL Ch 140 Sec. 206.
I/7Planninq:
Process: In accordance with Zoning Bylaw Section 404.2, renovation, reconstruction or replacement of South Shore
Drive motels in the HMOD2 is allowed by-right. However, that section also requires that motel architectural and site
plans meet the Planning Board's mandatory Architectural & Site Design Standards (Design Standards) and the plans
must be submitted to the Planning Board for review at a duly posted Public Hearing. It should be noted that the
Design Standards apply to the entire site and existing buildings as it is not the intent of the Design Standards to allow
a partial site compliance. As the entire site/buildings do not appear to fully comply with the Design Standards, a
Special Permit from the Planning Board would be required, which could be held concurrent with the Design Review
Public Hearing. Prior to the Planning Board Public Hearing, the applicant shall also meet with the Design Review
Committee who will submit their recommendations/comments to the Planning Board. The applicant shall provide 13
copies of the required plans as outlined in the Design Review application form (Design Review Application and
Special Permit Application provided at the meeting). All plans shall be to scale. Modifications to the interior of the
building are not needed. No plans should be greater than 24x36. Special Permit fee is $200 plus $5/abutter for
notification and actual cost to advertise. Staff will obtain the certified abutter list from the Assessor's office.
Comments:
1. The proposed modifications to the Red Jacket Resort will be an enhancement to the existing resort with nice
finishes and details being proposed.
2. Provide dimensions on reoriented parking by the Cottages and confirm adequate room to modify from angled
parking to perpendicular parking.
3. Provide clear pedestrian access from modified parking south of the Cottages to the Cottages. With the fence
located next to the parking, rather than the sidewalk and with in-lot tree islands, it is unclear how pedestrians
would access the walkways into the Cottages. Consider having the sidewalk adjacent to the parking and fence
behind, as is done on the west side of the Cottages.
4. Provide clear pedestrian connection from Cottages to the resort amenities, pool and beach areas (including the
beach area across the street from the Cottages).
•
5. Coordinate location of new trees with underground utilities (i.e. the eastern in-lot parking island south of the
Cottages).
6. Are any handicap accessible parking spaces required for the Cottages?
7. Plantings to be native species per zoning bylaw section 301.9. Parking lot trees to be minimum 3"caliper.
8. Coordinate sign size with the Building Dept.
Conservation:
• Projects that disturb > 1 acre of land require a Stormwater Management Permit Application.
• Areas within conservation jurisdiction require native plantings from the approved plant lists.
• Mitigation calculations are the total difference in coverage from existing conditions to proposed in each
jurisdictional zone (riverfront, flood zone, 50 ft and 100 ft buffers). These calculations must be shown on the plan
and the 2:1 mitigation ratio for riverfront area and the 50' buffer must be met and are currently not shown.
Design Review: Not present. The Design Review Authority for HMOD2 projects is the Planning Board. See Planning
comments above.
At. Engineering:
• Based on the summary sheet, the disturbance is greater than an acre; triggering the stormwater
management permit application as noted above. Drainage was not reviewed in detail at this time.
• Existing drainage within the paved parking area appears to have been installed around 2010 and it is
isolated leaching structures; suggest cleaning as noted on the drawings. Also, inspect and repair any
damage to existing drainage.
• An existing site plan in our records show the existing drainage near the bend appears to be connected
with a 10" concrete pipe.
• Provide pavement cross section detail for parking areas.
• This property is scheduled to have sewer installed with an active project out to bid. The cottages' septic is
in the rear where the plantings and walkways are proposed. Consider syncing this portion of the project
�,,�(� after the wastewater installation.
