Hearing closes at 5:47 PM Public Hearing – Modification of Massasoit Estates –Special Permit Inclusionary Cluster Subdivision – to amend Condition #2 which required all lots to have individual leaching fields on each individual lot. The modification is to construct a common leaching field for the entire subdivision and also the installation of a sewer system in the roadway to convey sewerage from the septic tanks located on each lot within the development to the common leaching field on premises situated at 945 Middleboro Avenue, E. Taunton, Ma. known as Assessor’s Map 111, Lot 112. Hearing opens at 5:48 PM. Roll call: Ackerman, Lopes, Spencer, Reardon, Campbell and Tony. Chairman Campbell read public hearing notice, dept. comments from the City Engineer, Conservation Commission Water Dept. which were placed of file. Jeff Tallman, Sitec Eng. And developer Steve Figueiredo invited into the meeting. Jeff stated after they received P.B. approval for Definitive Inclusionary Cluster development they did soil testing and it wasn’t consistently 4 feet deep per B.O.H Title 5 rules. Then they thought of putting a common septic in the rear with the deepest soils is. They would install a sewer main in the ROW and have a common leaching field. Jeff stated they have revised the plans and designed a sewer main and leaching field and will submit to the B.O.H. and he doesn’t see any concerns. Jeff stated they were waiting for this approval then they will proceed to the B.O.H. Manny asked if there would be a septic tank on each property and all go to one leaching field? Jeff stated the whole site has sand issue and had poor Title 5 with it not having 4 feet deep , with some places having 3 ½ feet deep. He said he spent a day and half out there trying to get each lot to see what they have. Lots 11, 12, 13, and 14 have the deepest amount of sand which will require quite a bit of grading. He stated the houses will most likely have walkout basements. Per rates were less than 2 minutes and the homeowner’s association will be responsible for drainage and a portion of the septic system and leaching field. Manny asked about lot 13 that has a lot for water. Jeff explained each lot will have an individual tank and one common leaching field. Jeff said to minimize the grading they will place the leaching field in the front of the lot close to the road. If we had to put it in back it would not be good. Manny asked what happens if there is a problem? All disposal will be from lot 13 and the sewer will not go into the sewer system. The homeowner’s will be responsible and will most likely hire a company to monitor it and will probably have an alarm system. If any issues they will come right out and fix it. Jeff stated there will be no sewer fees to the City. Dennis stated he’s in favor of the project but has concerns. He feels uncomfortable with the 4-5 lots in the rear and suggest those lots have own service and then then the lots in front have common one. He has been contacted by several neighbors. He stated the B.O.H should have approved this before it coming here. Jeff stated this is no different than each lot having to perc. Dennis feels uncomfortable approving this at this time because he hasn’t had a chance to view plans due to computer 2 issues. Jeff stated what Dennis suggested having some lots on own system and some on common system becomes a legal nightmare. Dennis stated they would get more for the lots if they had their own system. Steve Figueiredo said there is a good possibility sewer will be going in near the Airport and he could use to connect to his property. Steve said the amendment tonight is for the sewer line to go in the ROW for possible connection in the future. It would be in his best interest to bring sewer to his project which will be about 1,600 feet with stubs along the way. Chairman Campbell stated the sewer designed for this is not designed for city sewer. Tony stated the common sewer is in “Matthews Drive” and they have had issues with that. Tony said if the timeline is right and sewer goes in near airport through that is good but if not he can put sewer in on his own he would have to leave stubs. There was discussion about the low pressure main heading down 4 feet from subdivision and then it drops off 10 inches near Richmond Pond. Chairman Campbell suggests putting in gravity system and have a low pressure installed. Currently there is a 2 inch system to a septic area going down the road. They could start the leaching field and put sewer on top of it. Jeff stated they can’t put a low pressure in. The Board asked the developer what he wants? Tony stated the shared systems work and best base case they tie into city sewer which would be costly. Jeff stated they are asking to amend #2 of the approval stating each lot have their own septic system and allow a change to use a common leaching field. It was suggested going to the B.O.H for approval and then come back here. Jeff stated he feels confidence that the B.O.H will approve but they send it out to outside consultant (Presbrey Company) to review and that takes a couple of weeks. Chairman Campbell pointed out the P.B.R&R require the BOH approval prior to subdivision approval and it was overlook and now they need to get BOH approval. He stated there are outstanding issues. Public Input: Maria Dimakis, 915 Middleboro Ave. had questions about lots 11, 12, and 13 and how the common leaching field will work? Will there be a reserve leaching field in case they need it? Jeff sated they have room for a replacement and the homeowners associations will take care of it. There will be monies in the associations to make sure there is funding in case they need it. She stated he might lose a lot when the B.O.H reviews it. She asked if the houses would have a garbage disposal and Jeff answers no. Dennis suggests leaving public input open and continue to August and have them go to B.O.H. for approval. Jeff stated they will submit the info to the B.O.H but he’s not sure they will have it all approved. Dennis made motion to continue to next month, seconded by John. All in favor Hearing closed at 6:52 PM Public Hearing – Special Permit- Winthrop Street Assessor’s Map 101 Lot 27 – A Special Permit from Section 440 Attachment # 1 of the Zoning Ordinance for a 3 family use on the proposed 7 lots ( total 21 units) in a Highway Business District, submitted by Jeffrey Terra, Trustee Hearing opens at 6:53 PM – Roll call: Spencer, Lopes, Reardon, Abreau, Ackerman, Campbell present. Chairman Campbell reads the dept. comments from Conservation Commission, Water Dept., City Planner, B.O.H, T.M.L.P which were placed on file. Jeff Tallman, Sitec Engineering representing petitioner. Jeff stated the will need to file a Definitive Subdivision plan if approved to create the lots. He stated lot 7 will be an ANR plan because it has frontage on Winthrop Street but will access off new road. The site consists of 5.29 acres about 800 feet east of Dighton line. The property is in the Highway Business District and has some resource areas and is bordering vegetated wetlands and will need Conservation Commission approval. They are proposing a residential subdivision with water and sewer. They need the Special Permit for the uses before they file a Definitive Subdivision. Dennis stated the proposal is cut and dry. Open Public Input: 3 resident (Toby) from 1285 Burt St. called in to say there are a lot of issues with the water table in the area. He stated they put the solar panels across the street they said they weren’t going to be a problem and now there are water issues. His neighbor runs their sump pump 24/7. He’s concerns with flooding and doesn’t want the neighborhood to flood. Jeff stated the concept is to allow us to more forward and they will analyze the drainage out there but the first step if the Special permit for use then file a Definitive Subdivision. Jeff stated they will show they are not going to affect the drainage and they will design it using the existing contours and the low point is pitching away from his property. Toby said they are now paying the price due to the solar panels going in. He purchased house in 1986 for the country setting and now there is all houses around. It was asked what the cost of the houses will be? Chris Moniz, representing petitioner answers between $325,000 and 335,000. Opposed: Gerald Dallaire, 1265 Burt St. stated there are water issues there now. He stated when the solar panels went in it cost him money and now they want to put all these houses in. Dennis stated the developer would be putting in upscale homes and will do a good job. Mr. Dallaire stated it sounds like Dennis is marketing for the developer. Jeff stated they haven’t really gotten into the design of the drainage but it’s out duty to make sure it works. Dennis suggests to Jeff to look at the 2 abutters across the street to see they can straighten out their problem. Jeff said they will be willing to look and see if it’s something we can do to help. Dennis suggests looking at it to be a good neighbor. Mr. Dellaire heard this before and stuff promised was never done with the solar panels, the guys is in Georgia. Chairman Campbell suggests looking at putting an intercepting subdrain between the buildings and the easterly and southerly property lines to ensure that groundwater flow is directed toward the river.

They are proposing a 36 unit residential building and have received Council in approved but the approval will expired in Dec. 2020. The plans show 80 parking spaces (72 required) and will be service by municipal sewer and water and all stormwater will be contained on site. They will erect a 6 foot privacy fence and landscaping. They are seeking a 50% landscaping waiver as shown on the plans. Manny stated this property was subject to a zoning change making it in the transient development zone. He remembers the Planning Board recommending less numbers that what was approved. The Council approved 36 units and there is nothing we can do about it now. Dennis asked if the site was contaminated? He stated there is a big traffic issues in this area and asked if a traffic study was done? Nick stated there was traffic study done and that was provided to the Council. Nick stated it was initially for 60 units and then they reduced it so it would show a reduction. Manny asked about the water in the rear. Nick said they would be containing on the water on site per the City Engineer. Manny asked who the owner is? Nick stated he is representing the potential buyer. The property was approved and put on the market and now has a buyer. Manny asked about the landscaping waiver they are asking for? Nick pointed out the plans shows 7 ½ feet on most of the property and 11 ½ - 15 feet in rear. Nick stated the hazardous waste has been clean up and DEP is monitoring the site. Chairman Campbell pointed out on the elevation plans needs correcting. You should show contours on adjacent property. Nick stated any additional runoff is going to be contained and there will be no more than what is there now, it’s going in the same place. The elevation is close to the 100 years storm (flood election 13 feet and bottom of basin is 12 feet) It was asked if the develop will be removing the buildings and it was answered yes they are pretty dilapidated. It was mentioned they would need Historic District commission approval to remove the building. Chairman Campbell asked if there was any accessible walkway and it was answered no. There is an active railroad there and it was suggested putting fencing around to protect as well as privacy. Nick stated a fence would not be sound proof and he think the building itself will be insulation. It was asked about the driveway and it being so wide and Nick said that is what DOT wanted. They are going to the Historic District Commission at the end of month. Manny asked about the fire department’s comments relative to one entrance and one exit. Nick pointed out they only have frontage on Dean Street, not Arlington Street. The 24 foot wide driveway is per Mass DOT standards. Manny says he remembers this going to the Council in 2016 and asked why hasn’t it been developed? Dennis stated he remember is going to ZBA for landscaping buffer and was denied and they wanted 28 units not 36 units. Then the Planning Board sent their recommendation in for 32 units and the Council approved 36 units. Nick stated they are not asking for any parking waivers. Dennis suggests the Board not approve the landscaping waiver (as presented on the plans. the DIRB can waiver50% reduction). 7 Chairman Campbell stated if the Board wishes to not grant the landscaping waiver they need a reason relating the landscaping, not because the Board doesn’t agree with the Councils approval for 36 units.
