proposal. The bank has merged with Merrimack Savings and when there are meetings and training the
need for additional parking is needed. People have started parking on the grass and the proposal will
address the issue. The will be maintaining a 3:1 stable slope. One tree will be relocated to enhance
some of the screening. There are two catch basin on the main drive to direct water toward the rain
garden. No anticipated increase in runoff.

Patricia Perry of 68 Baldwin Street had the same concern and looked at the plan.
The public hearing was closed at 2:11 pm
Discussion: Police had no comments. B. Loughlin stated there was a letter from the abutter with
concerns and it sounds as if the screening is sufficient. D. Trefethen had no code issues. W. Anderson
gave N. Sceggell the list of his concerns: Gate and frame details show an opening size of 7 5/8 inches,
this presents a hazard to bicyclist who may be coming to the bank, outlet protection details are
missing units of measure on the dimensions and the driveway entrance from Baldwin Street has a
minimal crown. Water flow from the northeast end of the current 6 bay parking lot presently misses the
proposed location of the catch basins. The proposed slopes on the three new parking ares may cause
the water to miss the proposed catch basins. D. Derrick had no comments. C. Roffo had no concerns.
Motion to approve the application with the following conditions: applicant to submit a construction cost
estimate to Dept of Public Works at least 3 weeks prior to desired construction date for review;
applicant to escrow 10% of construction cost estimate with the City as well as the items in the memo
from DPW made by B. Loughlin, D. Derrick seconded. All voted in favor 6-0.
