Case #2006-10 Site
Plan Review
Application by Edward “Ted” Malone under Article 4, Section 4100
of the Zoning Bylaws for Dwelling Units and Commercial Accommodations. The applicant seeks approval for the
construction of a three-unit residential dwelling at the property located at 10
Stearns Avenue (23 Race point Road) (Res3 Zone).
Abutter notification cards and site plan were submitted by Ted Malone.
Rachel Peters, an abutter, expressed her concern that planned fire road
would eventually become a through fare and requested that Fire Chief be
consulted as to necessity of this road.
Rick Silva, a resident on Nelson Ave. expressed his concern about heavy
construction equipment and trucks causing damage to Nelson Ave. and asked if
vehicles could be required to go through Mr. Malone’s property instead of
Nelson Ave. Mr. Malone responded that he would try to stage construction from his
property but couldn’t promise. He stated that he will make an effort not to
damage Nelson Ave.; at the same time pointing out that it is a public way. Mr.
Silva asked if there could be a stipulation requiring Mr. Malone to fix the
road if it gets damaged. Doug Taylor will consult Sandy Turner of DPW, for an
evaluation of Nelson Ave.
Larry Meads, a direct abutter, expressed many objections to this
project:
-increased traffic and speeding
-none of the abutters are happy with proposal
-drainage issues on property
-rodents all over property
-dangerous electric fence for horses
-planned development for property is too large
-change the nature of surrounding community
Carl Osowski, an abutter, stated his concern about increased traffic
and speeding, noting that 12 children live at the intersection of Nelson and
Stearns Aves.
Kevin Rich stated that he thinks issue of damage to road should be
addressed with DPW. Ted Malone said that he thinks that a previous evaluation
of Nelson Ave. done by DPW should be in the file.
Anne Howard stated that she thinks Fire Chief should be consulted about
proposed fire road. She also said she
wished that members of the public would have come forward at earlier public
hearings on this project.
Ellen Battaglini said that she thinks a site visit is necessary.
Howard Burchman said that he is concerned that property is being
developed in a piecemeal fashion and would like to see large picture of
development plans.
