Live reporting - Planning Board

282 Summer St - site plan application

application for site plan approval
Conservation Commission scheduled for Mar 25
Design Review scheduled for Mar 23

combining 282 and 278 parcels, two separate properties
approval not required plan for 278 Summer

never received an occupancy permit for the existing building
lot to be used as a church and place of worship
structure to be renovated to being it up to code
not seeking dimensional relief

below the 15% impervious coverage, hence no need to go before ZBA

80 proposed parking spaces
calculation requires 82 spaces, desire to balance impervious and water area looking to get approval for the 2 space reduction in parking

rain garden design proposed for the rear parking area to help with the DEP storm water treatment
designed to treat 1" run off

will need to add to the existing septic and file appropriate documentation accordingly
looking to minimize the cost of some shade trees required, willing to work with the board

no anticipation for need to light at night time, depending upon grow over the years could use them

Town engineer comments:
81p plan being submitted
currently Town handicap parking req'd at 9' but ADA requires 8'
should keep the 9' until such time as the bylaw is changed

suggestions 'quite reasonable'

request to reduce parking by two doesn't seem unreasonable
reviewed plantings with best development guidebook, reviewed with Conservation agents and they are acceptable

congregation of 125 currently

for the first par tof the service, the whole congregation is together, then the children split from the adults for the second part so all are in the calculation for what is called for, not a new set of folks to use the separate floor.

to be continued Apr 5th 7:15 PM
