Rubenstein, and Ken Smith Notice of the Public Meeting was posted with the Town Clerk and on the Town website, as required by law. Village Center Overlay District (VCOD) Site Plan Review (SPR) does not require a formal Public Hearing. Site Plan Review for VCOD projects is done through the Planning Board in accordance with Section 414.3.2 of the Zoning Bylaw. PROJECT SUMMARY: The Planning Board previously approved this project under VCOD SPR 2024-1 to develop the 0.58 acre property into 8 units of multi-family housing with shared central laundry room, reconfigured shared access, 8 parking spaces, a front yard fire truck turn around required by the Fire Dept, utility connections, a new sewage disposal system, stormwater management and landscaping. The existing single-family dwelling and shed on the propefty would be razed. When reviewing this original design, the Planning Board expressed concerns about only having one (1) parking space/unit. Parking had been limited by the amount of the property being used for a fire truck turn-around along Route 28 and the need to locate parking to the side or rear of the building. Subsequently, Town Staff, the Planning Board Chair and the applicant had meetings with the Fire Department to talk about their regulations and identify alternatives that could meet their safety regulations and improve the site design. Based on these discussions, the turn-around was eliminated, the building moved closer to Route 28, and a new fire hydrant brought onto the property. The relocation of the building allowed for eight (8) additional parking spaces, for a total of sixteen (16) spaces or two (2) spaces/unit, to be added to the site. Planning Eoard VCOD Site Plan Review Petitionr VCOD 2024-1A Other elements of the project remained the same including a total of eight (8) one-bedroom units with access to lhe propedy through a reconfigured shared-access drive and access easement with 807 Route 28. The project also Includes utility connections, a new lnnovative/Alternative (l/A) septic system with future connection to the municipal sewer system; stormwater management system with underground inliltration near Floute 28, direct infiltration behind the building lor the roof runoff, and a rain garden; sidewalk access to Route 28 along with a bike rack; fenced in dumpster; and overall landscaping plan with 30o/. tree canopy coverage over the parking areas. No changes to the building design or architecture were proposed as part of this new application. The two-story townhouses remain a mixture of clapboard and shingle siding, architectural asphalt roof shingles, covered front entrances and sliders to access the rear ol the building, along with shared central laundry facilities. Colors shall be white and/or granite gray with black accents for the metal roofs at entryways, roof shingles, building mounted light fixtures and entry doors. Portions of the property are located within a FEMA flood zone resulting in the first floor elevation being set at '13.5. Use A'12 - multi-family housing is allowed by-right in the VC2 at a density ol sixteen (16) units/acre. One atfordable unit is required per Section 412 of the Zoning Bylaw.

Architeclural Plans: Prepared by ERT Architects, dated April 25, 2024 o A.'1 - Floor Plans o A.2 - Elevations DISCUSSION: Brian Yergatian of BSC Group gave a brief overview of the changes, noting their desire to improve the site layout and add additional parking beyond one (1) space/unit. He gave an overview ol the meeting with the Fire Deparment to look at other options for meeting fire safety. Through these discussions, the large turn-around was eliminated, the sprinkled building was relocated closer to Route 28, and a fire hydrant was brought onto the site to address fire safety. This change allowed for the addition of parking at the rear of the propeny for a total of sixteen ('16) spaces. As this exceeds the maximum allowed of 1.5 spaces/unit in the VCOD for multi-family housing, Special Permit relief from the ZBA will be needed. However, lhe relocation of the building eliminates the need for any relief from the rear yard setback. No letters related to the project were received and no one lrom the public spoke in favor or in opposition to lhe project at the Public Meeting. Page 2 of 3 Planning Board VCOD Site Plan Review Petition: VCOD 2024-1A The Planning Board expressed their appreciation for the changes made and the collaborative efforts with the Fire Department. The Board Ielt the additional parking spaces will improve the viability ol the housing project, especially for young professionals. Some general discussion topics from the Board included identifying the location and access to the dumpster; noting that the building moved forward about 40'; value of an inigation system to protect landscape investment; and noting the screening on the east side of the property would be via a white vinyl fence and vegetation.
